Montréal, June 22, 2026 — Two winners claimed their $2,000,000 prize within just a few hours. Montérégie resident France Vincent received one of the top prizes awarded by the new La Voûte scratch ticket, whereas Eduardo Nunes received exactly $2,000,050 thanks to Banco with the Turbo option.
For her, retirement and an electric vehicle
- When France Vincent purchased her La Voûte ticket, she jokingly told the attendant, “Give me the receipt, I’ll need it to claim my prize.”
- Vincent discovered she’d won a top prize on the premises as she checked her ticket on the self-serve ticket checker.
- She calmly walked to the cash desk to validate the ticket. Staff rallied around to see that the lucky winner had indeed taken home $2,000,000!
- She told us her loved ones were euphoric when they learned the news.
- With her two million dollars, the winner, in her seventies, plans to retire and purchase a home to her liking and a new electric vehicle.
- The winning ticket was purchased at the Tabagie Variété Belœil, at 316 Boulevard Wilfrid-Laurier in Belœil. The retailer will receive a 1% commission of $20,000.
France Vincent
Eduardo Nunes
For him, a family trip to Portugal
- Eduardo Nunez checked his Banco ticket in the evening, shortly before going to bed. His first selection won him $50. When he checked his second selection, he realized that he had the 10 numbers needed to win $1,000,000. And since he’d added the Turbo option to his ticket, he had a shot at doubling his initial prize. And that’s exactly what happened—he doubled his million!
- Eduardo woke up his spouse and son so they could check the ticket. When his family confirmed that his selection was worth $2,000,000, he was stunned!
- The sixty-something plans to use his windfall to slow life down a little and make a cherished dream come true: travel to Portugal with his family.
- The winning ticket was purchased at the Marché Vishnu grocery store, located at 9910 Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montréal. The retailer will receive a 1% commission of $20,000.
