Highlights
Mathieu buys Grande Vie lottery tickets from time to time. It's only recently that he started buying them online.
He decided to check his lottery tickets while out on a walk with his daughter, who was sleeping peacefully at the time. He took out his phone and opened the Loto-Québec Lotteries app.
The winner couldn't believe it when he saw the $25,000 a-year-for-life bonus prize on his screen. He just kept on walking, the whole time staring at his phone.
When he got home, he called out to his spouse in a serious tone. Worried at first, she soon realized that what Mathieu wanted to share was good news. "She was jumping for joy, while I just still couldn't believe it!" recalled the lucky winner.
With his windfall, Mathieu says he has every intention of keeping his lifestyle the same... But getting rid of the financial stresses!
