Everyone’s new best friend, also known as the Lotto Max Award winner, picked up his check Friday in Montreal.
Hydro-Quebec retired employee Marcel Lussier said he plans to use part of the $ 70 million to help rebuild Ukraine and to fund projects to help people with autism.
The engineer who retired in 2002 lives in Brossard, on the south coast of Montreal, went to check the numbers the day after the draw, as the website launched it.
He was calm.
“It was a normal day like the others, no stress,” he said. “It was calm, natural.”
He is now happy to be able to take a cruise with his wife, which he had to cancel several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
There were also a total of 18 Maxmillions winners, some of whom will share $ 1 million.
Maxmillion winning tickets were sold in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and BC
The grand prize for the next draw on June 10 will be $ 43 million.
