Ms. Thibodeau bought the winning ticket at a Super C grocery store and checked it at the end of the day on October 16. When she discovered the good news, she quickly came home to tell her roommate.
After shedding tears of joy mixed with laughter, they hid the winning ticket in a drawer while waiting to give it to Loto-Québec.
These two residents of Beauce, in Chaudière-Appalaches, have been roommates for a long time. Now retired, Johanne worked in the construction field and Francine worked in a hospital center. With this lot, they will first repay their mortgage loan. In addition, Francine Thibodeau plans to treat herself to the car of her dreams, a Jeep.
“Lotto 6/49 continues to make many people happy across Quebec. A total of nine jackpots won in this lottery were awarded in 2024, including two to residents of Chaudière-Appalaches!” underlined Isabelle Jean, executive vice-president and head of lottery operations at Loto-Québec.
The lucky ticket was purchased at the Super C grocery store at 8585 Lacroix Boulevard in Saint-Georges. This retailer will receive a commission of $50,000, equivalent to 1% of the winnings.
