$200,000 with Banco and 57 years of marriage: an Estrie resident considers herself to be doubly lucky! Français
MONTRÉAL, June 30, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Estrie resident Suzanne Lussier Godère took home a $200,000 prize in the June 9 Banco draw. "This is the second time I've won, since my first prize in life's lottery are my 57 years of marriage!" the lucky winner admitted during our interview with her, which was conducted virtually to comply with physical distancing requirements.

Highlights
- Suzanne buys tickets for the Banco lottery game (her favourite!) regularly. She plays the same numbers every time, which have a special significance for her.
- When she woke up in the early hours of the morning, she decided to check the results of the last draw.
- The winner immediately woke up her husband so that he could check the ticket as well. His reaction was palpable: "It can't be!" he exclaimed, when he found out she'd snagged $200,000.
- Suzanne says she plans on using the tidy sum to buy a new refrigerator, make a few investments and spoil her two children.
