65 new Quebec millionaires crowned in 2025

Loto-Quebec has crowned 65 new millionaires so far in 2025, eclipsing the number of millionaires in Aug. 2024, that stood at 58 winners.

“Loto-Québec paid out over 1.8 billion dollars in prizes to winners last year. The lucky streak continues in 2025, making many families happy! What’s more, two Lotto Max jackpots were awarded in Québec since June,” said Isabelle Jean, the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Lottery Games at Loto-Québec.

The highest winning of 2025, saw a Montérégie entrepreneur and a Montréal retiree split a $70 million Lotto Max jackpot.

They both mentioned wanting to travel more, maybe even in first class!

Another highlight saw 15 coworkers at a Trois-Rivières dealership won $20 million in June.

“You could feel the excitement at work,” one of the group members revealed. “Everyone was jumping into each other’s arms!” 

On top of the Lotto Max winnings, six $5 million Lotto 6/49 jackpots have been won since January.
