Retired friends Germain Ouellette of Vanier and Marc Lafleur of Gatineau have been playing the lottery together for 20 years. “I was watching the news and I saw my winning numbers on the screen. I recognized them because I had them memorized. I instantly stood up in shock and thought, 'I hope Germain bought this ticket!’”"I checked my email and saw one from OLG that said I won a big prize. My jaw dropped," Germain said. "I texted Marc and told him we won $5 million."
