Quebec Man Wins $100,000 with Long-Lost Loto-Québec Ticket

Denis Lemire of the Mauricie region is celebrating a remarkable stroke of luck after claiming a $100,000 prize from Loto-Québec. The story, which seems straight out of a movie, began just before Christmas when his wife gifted him the winning ticket.

Lemire initially paid little attention to the ticket when the draw took place on December 24th. “The ticket was then put aside… and completely forgotten for over two months,” he recounted.

A Chance Rediscovery

It wasn’t until a recent shopping trip that the ticket resurfaced in Lemire’s memory. On a whim, he decided to have it checked. “He was in for a big surprise when he discovered he’d won $100,000,” Loto-Québec officials stated.

While Lemire hasn’t finalized plans for his winnings, he’s considering using the money for home renovations. A significant portion of the prize could go towards improving his living space.

Where the Winning Ticket Was Purchased

The winning ticket was purchased at the A+ convenience store located at Carrefour, on Thibeau Boulevard, in the Saint-Louis-de-France sector. This highlights the accessibility of Loto-Québec games throughout the province.

Loto-Québec offers a variety of lottery games, providing opportunities for Quebecers to dream big. You can find more information about their games and how to play on the official Loto-Québec website.

This incredible win serves as a reminder that sometimes, a little bit of luck can come from the most unexpected places. It’s a testament to the excitement and possibility that Loto-Québec games offer to players across the province.
