MONTRÉAL, Sept. 15, 2025 /CNW/ - For Daniel Gosselin, a resident of the Manicouagan region of Côte-Nord, summer came to a bountiful close when he won the grand prize of $1,000 a day for life in the Grande Vie lottery game! Daniel had bought his ticket for the August 25 draw on the Loto-Québec gaming website. He received his prize during a celebration at the Casino de Charlevoix on September 2.
Quote
"The Grande Vie top prize of $1,000 a day for life was won three times in Québec recently," says Isabelle Jean, Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of Lottery Games at Loto-Québec. "That's amazing! Since January 1, 2025, 14 lifetime annuities have been won in the province. Let's hope this lucky streak continues for Québec players this fall!"
Highlights
- Daniel Gosselin has been playing Grande Vie online regularly for the past three years. It was his wife who first suggested that he try his luck.
- When he buys a ticket, Daniel is in the habit of checking his emails in the morning to see if he's won. So he knew right away that he was getting his hands on the grand prize of $1,000 a day for life.
- With mounting excitement, he logged into his online account to confirm the win before calling his wife to tell her the news.
- The retired Hydro-Québec employee was still working occasionally in his field when he won the lottery. He now plans to completely stop working and move closer to his children and grandchildren.
- Thanks to his big win, this player in his sixties will soon be trading the Côte-Nord hydroelectric dams for the Saguenay River.
