Montréal, September 27, 2022 — Linda Boisvert was the lucky winner of the $1,000,000 top prize in the August 29 Extra draw with a ticket she purchased on lotoquebec.com. The Lanaudière resident says she intends to pay off her mortgage, buy a new car, and travel.

• Her spouse, whom she woke up in the middle of the night to tell him the news, thought she’d read it wrong.
• The lucky winner shed a few tears of joy when she received the email confirming her win sometime later.
