A couple from Windsor has become the area’s latest millionaires after playing the lottery for eight and a half years.
Doreen and Albert Drouillard snagged the $1-million MAXMILLIONS prize in the LOTTO MAX draw on December 19.
“I went to a local convenience store on Christmas Day to check our ticket. That’s when the ‘Big Winner’ message flashed on the screen with all the zeros,” said Doreen Drouillard. “I checked the ticket a few more times and began shaking with excitement. Then I went back to the car to tell Albert we won $1-million.”
“I didn’t believe her at first,” said Albert Drouillard. “I had to confirm the numbers on OLG. ca to make sure it was real, and eventually it sank in.”
When they broke the news to Albert’s brother and sister-in-law, they were skeptical at first too. But once they got over their surprise, they were thrilled for the Drouillards.
The couple plans to buy a condo, get a new truck, and share some of their winnings with their grandchildren.
The winning ticket was purchased at the CNIB kiosk located in Walmart on Tecumseh Road East.
