Highlights
- The twenty co-workers were bubbling with joy as they entered Loto-Québec headquarters to claim their million-dollar Guaranteed Prize.
- This workplace lottery group was organized by Mr. Dam, but Mr. Gosselin was the first to realize, at 2 a.m., they had won. He didn’t want to disturb everyone at such an early hour, so he left the happy task to someone else. Mr. Fortier informed Mr. Dam, who in turn contacted the rest of the group to tell them the good news.
- One group member heard the news as he was arriving in Québec City and immediately turned back to claim his prize at the same time as all the others. Some only found out when they got to work in the morning.
- Plans: Several winners mentioned taking trips (Disney World, Egypt, Europe, etc.)
