Montréal, October 1, 2024 — Laurentides resident Bruno Cormier won $1,000,000 in the August 17 Lotto 6/49 draw. The thirty-year-old won this tidy sum with a ticket purchased online.

Highlights

• Cormier was at work when he received a phone call from a Loto-Québec staff member informing him he’d won $1,000,000 and urging him to check his online gaming account. “It’s hard to hide your reaction at the plant—everyone heard about it in no time!”
• Cormier’s first project is to purchase a new BBQ. His brother-in-law, the family chef, has already helped him choose the model. He also dreams of visiting Italy and will most likely do so now that he’s a millionaire!
