Press release

Montréal, December 19, 2024 — Lanaudière resident Maria Christina Gonzalez Couture recently won $1,000 a week for life by scratching a Gagnant à vie édition des fêtes ticket on the Loto-Québec gaming website. Last month, Amélie Payette from the same region also won this prize with a Gagnant à vie ticket purchased in l'Épiphanie.

Highlights of Gonzalez Couture’s win

• Gonzalez Couture scratched a few tickets of Gagnant à vie édition des fêtes tickets online during her free time. “I got a free ticket, and with my next one—boom! I won the grand prize!”
• Not believing she could be so lucky, she showed her brother the result, and he confirmed that he saw the same thing. Still slightly doubtful, she contacted the Loto-Québec customer service team, and a staff member invited her to check her online account to confirm her win. 
• Gonzalez Couture plans to offer part of her windfall to her father so he can reduce his working hours. She also plans to make investments and treat herself.
