A Quebec resident's life took a dramatic turn (in the best way possible) after scooping a jaw-dropping $1,000,000 jackpot playing Loto-Québec's Québec Max. With retirement plans suddenly accelerated by the windfall, the lucky winner is preparing to bid farewell to the workforce sooner than expected — a reality many can only dream of.

Montérégie resident Michel Savoie won a whopping million dollars in the Québec Max draw on March 8, 2024. A few days following the draw, Savoie went to get his ticket validated at a lottery kiosk, Loto-Québec said in a press release shared with MTL Blog.

A Quebec resident's life completely changed last month after winning two million dollars playing the Québec 49 game with Loto-Québec. Mélanie Guay from Montérégie has much to celebrate following her whopping windfall. However, Guay didn't realize just how much she had initially won — mistaking her $2 million win for a mere $2.

On the August 30 Québec 49 draw, Guay managed to walk away with the top prize of $2,000,000. Loto-Québec said that Guay and her spouse were feeling lucky that week, so she asked her husband to buy her a lottery ticket. And boy was that ever a wise decision.

It was one heck of a lucky day for 12 co-workers who just took home a collective $1 million after winning one of the 14 Quebec Max jackpots.

Loto-Québec said that the co-workers —11 of whom are from the Mauricie region of Quebec, and one from Centre-du-Québec — have only been playing the lottery together as a group for "a few months," and it's likely they won't want to step playing just yet after winning a million dollars in the March 17 Quebec Max draw.

Gisèle Baril from Laval had one heck of a holiday season after she took home the Québec Max million-dollar prize on December 9, 2023. Baril purchased a Double Jeu Max ticket with Extra, but little did she know she was about to get the surprise of a lifetime.

After ordering take-out at a resto counter, the Laval resident took it upon herself to quickly verify her ticket at a nearby retailer while she waited. When Baril discovered she had won $1,000,000, she "instantly shed tears of joy," Loto-Québec said. In fact, Gisèle was so emotional that a teary-eyed customer also waiting in line offered her a hug.
