Montréal, June 16, 2021 — Gordon Malec was in for a wonderful surprise when he scratched his 200X Multiplicateur ticket. On May 20, the Côte-Nord resident pocketed $200,000, one of the major prizes that the lottery game offers.

Highlights

• This is the first major win for Gordon, who plays the lottery regularly.
• He’s a fan of scratch tickets, especially the $20 and $30 ones.
• “I always figured that if I wanted to win a decent amount of money, I might have a better chance with a pricier ticket than with a $2 or $3 ticket,” he said.
• Because of the 200X multiplier, it took him a few moments to realize that he’d had won such a hefty prize.
• The lucky winner says he wants to buy a house with his winnings.
