Highlights

• Ms. Côté, the group leader, and the six other members of the group came to Loto-Québec in a limousine, totally energized!
• The group is composed of people how have been members for a long time and others who were added more recently.
• Ms. Côté checked the ticket two days after the draw, just before heading out to work.
• Since she was bewildered by the ticket checker screen, she asked the retailer to validate the ticket on the terminal.
• The terminal began to chime, and the retailer told her: “You won a million dollars!”
• Ms. Côté replied: “Are you kidding me?”
• With butterflies and weak knees, the group leader met up with her spouse and went to her place of work. Only three members of the group were there that morning.
• After the morning briefing, their boss asked them if anyone had anything to add. Ms. Côté stood up, took the two other group members by the hand and said: “You are working with million-dollar winners!”
• Many plans in view: a trip to Italy, renovations, an extended vacation in Florida, the purchase of a condo and retirement.
