Montréal, July 22, 2022 — Another $1,000,000 prize has been won in the Lanaudière region! Two of its residents, Lei Shi and Christian Ducharme, won a Maxmillions prize in the June 7 draw with a ticket they bought at a gas station. It was only when they got back from vacation that Shi and Ducharme checked their ticket via the Loto-Québec Lotteries app and discovered they were now millionaires! The lucky winners say they’ll take some time to consider their options before making plans on what to do with the money.

The winning ticket was purchased at the Ultramar Dépan Express located on Route 343 in Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare. The retailer will receive a 1% commission of $10,000.
