Press release

Montréal, January 18, 2022 — On December 30, Capitale-Nationale resident Roxanne Dufour won a lifetime annuity with the Gagnant à vie lottery game. It was her spouse who put the winning scratch ticket in her Christmas stocking. However, Roxanne chose to take the $1,000,000 lump-sum prize.

With the winnings, Roxanne and her spouse plan to make some additions to the house they are currently having built. They would also like to take a trip with their children when it’s possible.

The winning ticket was purchased at Familiprix Labbé, Goulet et Boivin-Boucher, on Boulevard Monseigneur-Laval, in Baie-Saint-Paul. The retailer will receive a $10,000 commission, equal to 1% of the prize.
