Highlights

• Nicole triggered the bonus wheel after placing only a few bets on Powerbucks™ Wheel of Fortune^® Hawaiian Getaway.
• She tried to see what amounts were up for grabs as the wheel spun around, but didn’t have time to see much, because the wheel quickly stopped on Powerbucks.
• As she wondered what that meant, an animation surprised her and confirmed that she’d just won $1,000,000!
• “Did I really just win $1 million? That can’t be. I can’t believe it!,” exclaimed the lucky winner.
• Nicole quickly called customer service to confirm the win.
• Once her spouse heard the big news, they realized that their dream would come true: They’d finally be able to get an RV to make their retirement even better.
• After that purchase, they’ll let the dust settle before making other plans. “I’m a saver more than a spender!” she said with a smile as she accepted her cheque at Loto-Québec’s offices in Montréal.
