Mario Lafleur, a resident of Laurentides, Quebec, is set to enter semi-retirement following a substantial $2-million lottery win. For the past 24 years, Lafleur has dedicated himself to his role as a soft-drink delivery driver, serving the Alimentation Brébeuf grocery store. His lottery win came through a collective group consisting of four grocery employees and three other suppliers, highlighting the camaraderie amongst those involved in the lottery pool.
The winning moment was particularly memorable for Lafleur; he received a call from Stefano Crisafi, the group leader, informing him of their win. At first, Lafleur was in disbelief and thought it was a prank, responding, "Don’t mess with me this morning — it’s not funny!" This light-hearted exchange reflects the close-knit nature of the group and their shared excitement upon learning of their winnings. Now, Lafleur looks forward to enjoying life at a more leisurely pace after a career dedicated to hard work.
