“Oh my gosh, it’s us!” said Burnaby coworkers who won the Daily Grand top prize as a group of 24.
On April 10, a group of colleagues won the Daily Grand top prize of $1,000 a day for life — and took a lump-sum payment of $7 million for their reward.
Group spokesperson Iuliana Petrovici, who co-ordinated the lottery purchase, said she learned of the win late at night. “It was 10:30 p.m. at night, it was late, but I still called a few in the group,” Petrovici said in a statement. “They were excited and said, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s us!’” “I was at home, and I got goosebumps all over my body! I started shaking and I asked my husband to double-check.”
Members of the group hope to use their winnings to buy new cars, go on vacations and renovate their homes. They also plan to host a company-wide lunch.
