A resident of Ormstown, in Montérégie, got her hands on $1 million during the Celebration 2023 televised gala, broadcast Sunday evening on TVA.

Luck turned in favor of Isabelle Poitras, who held the 34 ball, during the playoff draws, which brought together 40 finalists from several regions of Quebec.

Thanks to the million dollars won, Ms. Poitras confided that she wished to realize her dream of visiting Italy, which she described as "the country of wine and love". The winning ticket was purchased at the IGA located on Bridge Street in Ormstown.
