No trick! Meet a couple who won a $55-million lottery jackpot on Halloween
Global News
A retired couple from Quebec took home a whopping $55 million in the Oct. 31 Lotto Max draw. It's the latest big lottery win in the province.
Jean Laroque and his longtime partner Catherine Ennis just had the Halloween of a lifetime.
The couple, from the Eastern Townships near Montreal, took home a whopping $55 million in the Oct. 31 Lotto Max draw.
At first though, Ennis wasn’t sure it was a Halloween trick or a Halloween treat.
Because Laroque’s a bit of a jokester, Ennis didn’t take him seriously when he told her they had a winning ticket.
“I was baking and Jean was checking his tickets which I don’t really pay attention to,” Ennis said.
But then she noticed how he’d begun to turn pale, so she put aside the oat cakes.
“He was sweating and shaking,” Ennis recounted on Monday.
That’s when she knew something was up and started paying attention.
