Quebec man wins $40M lottery, treats co-workers with pizza lunch as farewell

Last Tuesday, a 60-year-old Montreal resident was at work when he decided to check his lottery tickets – which he purchased for a chance to win the grand Lotto Max prize of $80 million. After he did so, he learned he was one of two winners to land half of that prize – a life-changing $40 million. Jean Lamontagne went to tell his bosses of the news, and that he’d be retiring earlier than planned. But he wasn’t going to leave work forever without saying goodbye. He returned to work with a pizza to treat his colleagues for lunch before he left for good. Those details were shared by Loto-Quebec in a news release Monday, in which they revealed Lamontagne as one of two grand prize winners in the Dec. 3 Lotto Max draw. The other winner, provincial lottery authorities said last week, is somewhere in Alberta. Global’s Phil Carpenter has more.
