Dupuis told Global News he always stops to check his tickets at the same store, but that this time was a bit different.

He explained how the clerk at the Dépanneur Olympique in Gatineau reacted when he realized how much Dupuis’ ticket was worth.

The dep owner will receive a share of the $2-million ticket equivalent to 1 per cent of the winnings: $20,000.

The Gatineau man said he told his girlfriend their problems were over.
