Local group wins $1M Lotto Max

Five coworkers in southwestern Ontario, who have been playing the lottery together for 10 years, have won a Lotto Max prize of $1 million.

The OLG said the small group of process engineers won a Maxmillions prize during the draw on April 19. They also won $2 with Encore.

Dennis Figueiredo of Wallaceburg said other group members were in disbelief when he told them the exciting news. The winner is very excited for the lucky jackpot prize which is a great amount to win.

The coworkers plan to continue playing the lottery as a group. The winning ticket was purchased at Taylor Convenience on Dufferin Avenue in Wallaceburg. The winner ticket was purchased from the the shop and the shopkeeper will also be getting some kind of appreciation or prize in cash or other options available.
