‘Bye-bye, boss': Quebec coworkers planning retirement, big purchases after winning $20M

Fifteen colleagues become millionaires in Trois-Rivières thanks to Lotto Max. (Source: CNW Group/Loto-Québec) A group of 15 coworkers at a Quebec car dealership drove home with a $20 million jackpot on Tuesday. The colleagues, who work in Trois-Rivières, received their prize after being the lucky winners in the June 3 Lotto Max draw. They will each claim $1,333,333 in winnings. One of the workers, Nicolas Déziel — in his early 20s — is the youngest of the group. His colleague, Christian Dessureault, usually buys the tickets for the group and when he checked his phone at 6 a.m. on June 3, he told his wife, 'Come sit down, my love, it's worth it!' before sharing the good news, according to a Loto-Québec news release. At least one of the coworkers has already decided to call it quits, telling his boss 'Bye-bye' a little earlier than expected, setting his sights on the open road with his RV. Others plan to buy new vehicles, a new house, and do renovations at home. Meanwhile, Lacombe-Charette, who had been looking for a used fridge before learning she was a millionaire, now plans to make an even bigger purchase — a new cottage in the Mauricie region. Loto-Québec notes that it paid $1.7 billion in prizes to winners across the province last year.
