A major lottery prize for a Petit-Shippagan woman.

Lorraine Beaudin bought a Lotto MAX ticket for the September 17th draw.

She won a $1 million Maxmillions prize.

Beaudin was shocked when she took the ticket to the store to be validated, “My daughter was waiting in the car and when I came out, I said, ‘That took some time, eh?’ and she agreed,” Beaudin said. “So, I said, ‘Well, I just won a million dollars,’ and she started crying and said, ‘This is real Mom?’”

Beuadin plans to buy or build a new home and spoil herself and her children.

She says buys tickets for every single draw.

Beaudin purchased her winning Lotto Max ticket at Épicerie Gagnon in Petite-Rivière-del’Ile, N.B. The retailer will receive a one per cent seller’s prize.
