Two really happy dudes on the south shore this morning.
Gaston Synnott has won a million dollars in Lotto 6/49 draw and Sylvain Brière has won $25,000 a year for life.
When Synnot looked at the clerk’s face he said to her, ”…Let me guess, I made 10 bucks this morning?’”
”No, no, you won a million.”
And nobody in his family nor his friends would believe him.
He plans to spoil himself and his children.
Brière also had to convince people close to him of his luck.
He says now he won’t have to worry about making payments on the dream motorcycle he purchased before the draw.
