Five Toronto-area coworkers have some wild plans for their $1 million lottery prize Ontario Lottery
A dedicated group of five Greater Toronto Area coworkers have many things to look forward to after cashing in a big prize worth $1 million.
These warehouse workers have been faithfully playing the lottery as a group for five years, and now their time has finally come - after correctly matching seven numbers for the LOTTO MAX MAXMILLIONS draw from October. The group will split the money evenly, each taking home $200,000, more than enough to splurge on all kinds of wish-list purchases and trips to far-off destinations.
Seeing that big number on the screen was quite a shock for Ketheeswaran Thurairajasingam of Pickering, who had the tough job of convincing the rest of his friends they did, in fact, score big on a winning ticket. "I had to check the ticket three times – When I saw six zeroes, I was so excited," said Ketheeswaran when collecting his novelty oversized cheque at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation prize centre in Toronto.
