News 12 February, 2017

LOTTERY. A couple from Chicoutimi-Nord had a nice surprise when he discovered that he was the lucky winner of Lotto Max’s $ 60 million jackpot. The ticket, which was bought and validated at the Accommodation at François, delighted the owners of the establishment almost as much as the holders of the winning combination.

It was at Accommodation at Francois in the Canton-Tremblay area that the good news was discovered on Saturday morning. For the managers of the company, François Gauthier and Nancy Tremblay, it was a moment of immense joy when the couple (whose identity has not yet been revealed) validated his ticket.

“I had just got up when Francois called me,” recalls Nancy Tremblay. He said, “Are you sitting well?”, Then he told me. I jumped for joy in the living room! So much so, that my daughter came to see me, because she wondered what was happening so that I made so much noise. ”

The convenience store owner will receive a commission of $ 600,000. An amount that will be spent judiciously according to Mrs. Tremblay.

“My boss always has his head full of projects and ideas,” she says. With that, he will have even more budgets to realize them. ”

It is the second prize of size that is won at the Accommodation with François. Previously, the price of $ 100,000 for La poule aux oeufs d ‘or had been won by a regular customer of the convenience store. But this time, the amount is even more enormous.

“It’s indescribable the feeling we have,” says Nancy Tremblay. As much the winners as we did, we had trouble believing it. It’s incredible! ”

Mystery

However, the identity of the lucky couple remains secret. Lotto Max will have to check and meet the couple to help them and plan their expenses.
