“I thought it was amazing when I saw all those zeros!” he said in a news release.
Another winner, Élie Sawan, said he was grateful to win as a group.
“I like people, and I like it when they’re happy. I don’t want to be happy by myself,” he said.
The convenience store that sold the winning tickets will receive a $250,000 commission from Loto-Québec.
