A Christmas Miracle: Quebec Family Wins $50-Million Lotto Max Jackpot and Now They Planning to Buy Farm

Christmas is taking on a whole new meaning for Nancy Gauthier, Jeannette Boisvert, and Gilles Larouche from the Laurentians, as their lives have been forever changed after winning a staggering $50-million Lotto Max jackpot just before the holidays. The fortunate family received the life-altering news at a press conference in Montreal on Thursday and was presented with a giant cheque from Loto-Quebec.

 Unbelievable Moment of Triumph

The moment of realization was nothing short of surreal for Nancy Gauthier, who meticulously checked each number on her ticket. The disbelief turned into overwhelming joy, and she vividly remembers shaking as she thought, “Is this really your ticket?” Meanwhile, Larouche, who was asleep at the time, was startled awake by screams emanating from the kitchen, learning that they had indeed “won it all!”

Swift Decisions and Bold Actions

Without wasting any time, Gauthier and her mother immediately quit their jobs, having worked together. For a week, Gauthier safeguarded the winning ticket closely. The trio arrived in style to claim their prize, booking a limousine for the occasion.

 Dreams Coming True

Gauthier, with tears of joy, expressed her dream of owning a house, a dream now made possible with the unexpected windfall from Loto-Quebec. Larouche, on the other hand, has plans to purchase a new car and a farmhouse in the picturesque Laurentians.

 Lucky Charm: Couche-Tard in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines

Luck seems to favor Quebecers, with the winning ticket purchased at a Couche-Tard in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines, a city approximately 40 kilometers northwest of Montreal. The convenience store that sold the ticket is also celebrating with a substantial $500,000 share of the winnings.

 Quebecers’ Streak of Luck

This jackpot adds to the string of good fortune for Quebecers in recent months. During Thanksgiving weekend, Pierre Richer from Montreal won a $50,000,000 jackpot with Lotto Max, and on Halloween night, two Eastern Townships residents secured a $55,000,000 jackpot.
