Press release

Montréal, June 17, 2022 — Montrealers Paolo Panza and Anna Angerillo won $1,000,000 in the May 20 Québec Max draw. Every week for over 25 years now, Panza has been going to a retailer to get his tickets validated and replay his selections. This time though, he got the surprise of his life when the attendant told him he’d won a million dollars! His spouse, with whom he’ll share the prize, hurriedly came to join him at the store to share in the unforgettable moment. The two winners say they plan to pay off a few debts, invest some of the money, and spoil their loves ones.

The winning ticket was purchased at Dépanneur Legendre Plus on Rue Legendre Est in Montréal. The retailer will receive a 1% commission of $10,000.
