Montréal, September 25, 2025 — Lanaudière resident Nadine Bernard took home the Gagnant à vie top prize of $1,000 a week for life. While at the grocery store’s service counter, the lottery game caught her attention, and she decided to try her luck, for the third time in her life. Back home, she scratched her ticket and was surprised to uncover three VIE symbols in the same game. Stunned, she carefully reread the rules several times to make sure she had indeed won the top prize. Bernard was beyond excited afterwards! The lucky winner is already thinking about treating herself to a new car.

The winning ticket was purchased at Maxi et Cie at 1095 Rue Saint-Isidore in Saint-Lin–Laurentides. The retailer will receive a 1% commission of $10,000.
