Nine Quebecers Win $25M Lotto Max Jackpot in July 10 Draw

Nine Quebecers are now multimillionaires after winning the $25 million Lotto Max jackpot in the July 10 draw. Eight people from Laval and one from the Laurentides region purchased their winning tickets from a Chomedey convenience store. Each winner receives $2.5 million, except Thierno M. Sadigou Diallo, who purchased two shares and will receive $5 million.

How the group split the prize

Eight winners from Laval and one from the Laurentides purchased 10 Formule groupe shares together. Each person receives $2.5 million from the split. Diallo, who bought two shares instead of one, receives $5 million total. The convenience store that sold the tickets earns a $250,000 commission from Loto-Québec.

Winners celebrate their windfall

Diallo expressed amazement at the size of his prize. “I thought it was amazing when I saw all those zeros,” he said in a news release. Another winner, Élie Sawan, emphasized the joy of sharing the win. “I like people, and I like it when they’re happy. I don’t want to be happy by myself,” Sawan said in a statement.

What this means for Canadian lottery players

The win shows how group play can turn modest ticket purchases into life-changing payouts. Lotto Max jackpots roll over when no one wins the top prize, creating larger pools. The July 10 draw delivered one of the largest shared wins in recent Quebec lottery history.

Final Thoughts

Nine Quebec residents transformed a group ticket purchase into $25 million in winnings. For lottery players, the win demonstrates both the odds and the potential of shared play strategies.
