The following morning while reading the paper I picked up the tickets to verify them.
I always look at the first 3 numbers and if they match I continue and if I they don’t I put them down and verify them anywhere with the scanners they have.
That morning the first three numbers matched ,so did the 4th,the 5th,the 6th and finally the 7th.
I had finally hit the jackpot…or so I thought.
I saw the date on the ticket , May 30 2008 , but I didn’t think much of it as the Depanneur owner said :
“We got them in on time,the clock said 8:59. The first ticket said May 23 2008.”
This morning I went straight back to that depanneur , for only the second time in my life , in less than 15 hours .
This time not to buy a ticket to win , but to confirm a ticket that WON.
When I finally got there and scanned the ticket my heart stopped beating when it read “for following draw”.
I went back home , called my lawyer and told him the story and we set up to meet Monday at 7AM in the morning.
After the meeting a letter was sent to Loto Quebec to get the ball rolling.
And roll it did.
