Luck smiled more than once on Sylvie Bertrand, a resident of Sainte-Cécile-de-Masham in Outaouais who won two lottery prizes in the space of a week, thanks to La Poule aux oeufs d’or tickets.

It all started when she went to the Masham Grocery Store in Sainte-Cécile-de-Masham and bought a ticket that earned her a spot as a contestant on a show on January 26, where she won $32,000. Subsequently, seven days later, on February 2, she decided to buy another ticket, this time online, and she won the modest sum of $100,000.

With the amounts won, Bertand has several projects in mind, such as renovating her house and purchasing a new vehicle.

In January 2025, more than 10 Outaouais residents won using different types of Loto Québec tickets. The highest prize was won by Daniel J. Boisvenue. It was the $125,000 jackpot of the new La course aux lingotslottery tickets.

Fifty years ago, Loto Québec was the first lottery corporation in Canada and the third of its kind in all of North America. In 2024, a total of over $1.7 billion was distributed to winners across Quebec.

In addition, the World Lottery Association awarded Loto Québec an international recognition certification for responsible gaming. This is level 4, the highest international certification for responsible gaming. More specifically, this certification means that the Company has the necessary resources to ensure the continuity and constant improvement of the assistance programs offered in terms of awareness of games of chance.
