“We definitely want to give back to our

hometown which has supported us over

the years and has celebratedwith us at this

exciting time. There are so many

worthwhile causes in Hawkesbury - the

food bank, the hospital - and we look

forward to sharing our good fortune.”

So said JoAnn Champagne last week as

she and her husband, Gaetan, received the

$50 million the Hawkesbury couple had

won in the December 30 Lotto Max lottery.

The Champagnes, who have two adult

children, have already made plans for their

windfall. They have purchased a new car,

put a down-payment on a new house and

invested in their son’s business, a

downtown restaurant. They also plan to

share the wealth with their community.

The prize claim was subject to Ontario

Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s Insider

Wins process as the Champagnes had each

been employed as lottery retailers within

the past year. Long-time Hawkesbury

residents, Gaetan, 51, and JoAnn, 49, have

been playing the lottery for many years, but

this was their first major win. “We found

out we won the jackpot while on our way to

celebrate the New Year. Right away, we

knew that we would be subject to a review

as part of OLG’s insider policy because we

used to own a store,” said Gaetan.

“We knew the rules and we followed

them. We understood we would have to
