Three Montreal residents are celebrating million-dollar lottery wins after collecting $1 million prizes through Lotto Max, Extra and Lotto 6/49.
Joey Sacco and his partner, Anissia Vincenza Greco, discovered their winning Lotto Max ticket among old tickets in a work bag. The ticket, purchased at a LaSalle retailer, was worth $1 million from the April 3 draw.
Karina Fuentes Ruiz received an unexpected email from Loto-Québec notifying her that she had won the $1-million Extra grand prize from the Aug. 29 draw. She said she plans to consult a financial planner about managing the windfall.
Winston Mangal also won $1 million, taking home a guaranteed prize in the Sept. 5 Lotto 6/49 draw. The Montreal man in his 70s said he plans to use some of his winnings to spoil his children.
The winning tickets were purchased at retailers in LaSalle and Ahuntsic-Cartierville, while Fuentes Ruiz bought her ticket online.
