‘I'll be the winner,' jokes Quebec man who ends up winning $1,000 a week for life
A humorous young man from Quebec City can kick back and relax after winning $1,000 a week for the rest of his life.
Stopping at a Couche-Tard in the Val-Bélair sector, Cameron McKenzie says he noticed a limited edition Winner for Life ticket sitting in the display counter.
He asked the store clerk if he had ever seen anyone win the prize.
The response? 'No.'
'I'll be the winner,' McKenzie joked as he bought the ticket.
Later that evening, as he scratched the foil away, he saw the three LIFE symbols appear.
McKenzie, who is in his 20s, says he dreams of becoming a police officer, and his newfound financial stability will allow him to concentrate on his studies.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Couch-Tard at 1601 Industrielle Ave.
The retailer will receive a commission of $10,000, equivalent to one per cent of the winnings.
Since the beginning of 2025, Loto-Quebec says seven jackpots of $1,000 per week for life have been won in the Winner for Life lottery.
