The lottery odds have shone in favour of five co-workers from Milton, Oakville and Burlington, who won a Maxmillions prize of $1 million in a recent Lotto Max draw.
They are part of the 26-person group of colleagues from the Greater Toronto Area who played the lottery together.
"I checked our ticket using the OLG app and I didn't believe all the zeroes," said Ernesto Diaz Herryman. "I called a meeting at work, and everyone was scared. They were wondering why I called them. When I shared the big news, they were so excited and told their families right away!"
The winners from Halton are:
- Fitzwilliam Ramsook of Milton
- Gary Randall of Oakville
- Gary St. Onge of Oakville
- John Happy of Oakville
- Richard Groulx of Burlington
They plan to celebrate their win as a group.
