“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
