Montréal, December 17, 2020 — On November 14, Laurentides resident Maria De Jesus Toledo Reyes won $609,930 while playing Odds of the Gods on lotoquebec.com.

Highlights

• One Saturday night, Maria De Jesus Toledo Reyes chose to unwind for a few minutes by having fun on . Not knowing which game to play, she asked her friend to suggest one. That’s how she ended up playing .

• After a few wins, she triggered the Mount Olympus bonus. The shield allowed her to progress along the virtual trail to Mount Olympus by eight spaces. Maria, feeling nervous, clicked on the shield again and, this time, a diamond popped up on-screen!

• She’d just won the $329,834 progressive jackpot. “I was jumping for joy. I couldn’t believe it!”

• Maria says her win couldn’t have come at a better time, given that she’ll be flying to Mexico with her daughters at the end of December to go visit her parents, whom she hasn’t seen in two years.
