(Montreal) An unusual Christmas gift awaits the holder(s) of a lottery ticket sold in Quebec.
The jackpot of 50 million in Friday evening’s Lotto Max draw was won thanks to a selection sold in Quebec, Loto-Québec announced in a press release.
The results of the draws are available on the Loto-Québec website at lotoquebec.com.
On Halloween night, luck also smiled on a couple from Estrie who won a jackpot of 55 million in the same lottery. Catherine Ennis and Jean Larocque held the winning ticket for the October 31 Lotto Max ticket, but it was not until the next morning that Mr. Larocque learned that the precious ticket, which he had put in the pocket of his pajamas, was worth a fortune, literally.
Also in October, a Montrealer was also given a check for 50 million by Loto-Québec in exchange for another winning Lotto Max ticket.
