Richard Plante, a Quebec retiree from Lanaudière, had a very nice surprise a few days ago. In fact, he won $1,000 per day for life in the lottery Great Life.
He bought his ticket for the October 28 draw on the Loto-Québec website.
It was a Loto-Québec representative who called him to tell him the good news. “Wow! $1,000 a day? That’s not true! “, he reacted.
“The winner told us that he hoped one day to win the annuity of $25,000 per year for life at Grande Vie, but that he never thought he would win the jackpot of $1,000 per day for life,” can we read in a press release from Loto-Québec.
“Let’s just say that it makes the projects grow! “, he commented.
After hearing the good news, he warned his partner. “She couldn’t believe it when I told her the amount. I suggested that he finish his work day early,” he said.
“With his winnings, he plans to spoil his partner of the last 40 years and encourage her to retire early,” says Loto-Québec.
This is what we call a very caring spouse. Love is beautiful!
Isabelle Jean, executive vice-president and head of lottery operations at Loto-Québec, reacted to this great news.
“Quebecers had a lucky fall in the lottery. In fact, several major jackpots have been won with us recently. The Grande Vie jackpot was awarded to Quebec three times in 2024,” she underlined.
