A million-dollar lottery ticket, two days from expiring

By the Editors · As reported by Global News, 4 April 2019

FoundMontreal, Canada

Reunited — it went back to its owner or their family.

Nicole Pedneault and Roger Larocque of Montreal bought a Lotto-Quebec ticket for Valentine’s Day 2018 and lost track of it. More than a year later, their grandson asked to borrow Japanese souvenirs for a school presentation. When Pedneault pulled out a book on Japan, a slip of paper was sticking out of it: the winning C$1 million ticket, which was due to expire in two days. The couple claimed the prize in time and said they would share it with their five sons and grandchildren.
