Highlights

• There is no better way to kick off your day at 6:15 a.m. than with an email from Loto-Québec!
• Especially when said email is to confirm that you have won the Grande Vie secondary prize—$25,000 a year for life!
• After putting on his glasses and reading the email over again, Mr. Leconte was just plain stunned. He waited patiently for the call from customer service to come before really letting it sink in.
• Even when claiming his prize at the Québec City Office, he was finding it hard to believe his luck...
• A very down-to-earth person, the winner will take some time to think of how to use his winnings. He did say that it could not come at a better time—it will help a lot.
