Montréal, January 18, 2022 — On December 20, Robert Bourgoin won $2,000,000 playing a 2 Million$ extrême scratch ticket. After getting a fill-up at the gas station, this Bas-Saint-Laurent resident decided to buy a 2 Million$ extrême ticket and then scratched it in his car. That’s when he saw he’d won $2,000,000!

Robert plans to spoil his children and also make some investments for his retirement.

The ticket was bought at Petro-Canada on Rue Fraserville, in Rivière-du-Loup. The retailer will receive a $20,000 commission, equal to 1% of the prize.
