Everyone’s new best friend, also known as the winner of the Lotto Max jackpot, picked up his check in Montreal on Friday.
Retired Hydro-Quebec employee Marcel Lucie said he plans to use part of the $ 70 million jackpot to help rebuild Ukraine and fund projects to help people with autism.
The engineer, who retired in 2002 and lives in Brossard on the south coast of Montreal, went to check the numbers the morning after the draw, as the website kicked him out.
He was calm.
“It was a normal day like the others, no stress,” he said. “I was calm, natural.”
Now he is 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.

The jackpot for the next draw on June 10 will be $ 43 million.
