Michel Poulin, a resident of the Capitale‑Nationale region, secured a lifetime cash award of $1,000 per day after buying a ticket online for the Grande Vie draw on September 21, 2026. The prize, offered by Loto‑Québec, is paid out each day for the winner’s lifetime, and Poulin said he plans to use the earnings to retire ahead of schedule.
The Grande Vie lottery is a Loto‑Québec game that designates a single participant to receive the daily $1,000 payout for the duration of their life.
