Highlights
- On the evening of May 3, Sonya was playing Odds of the Gods with her good friend Sandy—something they do regularly.
- During the Bonus, they didn't expect to win $609,863 when the diamond suddenly popped up on-screen!
- The excitement in their reaction was palpable. "We were shrieking with joy, it was crazy! We phoned our friends, woke up our kids... We celebrated!" the friends told us, adding that they were unable to sleep a wink that night.
- Not believing her luck, Sonya logged in and out of our gaming website several times to see if the money was still in her account.
- Sonya will be splitting the money with her friend Sandy and Sandy's boyfriend, Éric.
- The two friends say they've already made plans on how they'll spend their windfall. Sandy talked about buying a cottage, while Sonya admitted that she wants to mull things over a bit longer, but is thinking of changing careers and wants to treat herself and her family.
The interview with Sonya and Sandy is posted on Loto-Québec's YouTube channel.
