TORONTO –
A group of 12 construction workers from the Greater Toronto Area won a $ 15 million lottery ticket
The group, who had been playing the lottery together for five years, won the Lotto Max Jackpot on Tuesday after purchasing the winning ticket at Petro Canada on Queen Street in Bolton
“One of the band members called me on my way to work and said, ‘We won! We won! « I went directly to the gas station to confirm, » said Rocco, a member of the group, after collecting his check. « I told each member when they arrived for their shift. At first, no one believed it »
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) said six of 12 construction service workers retired immediately by the time they made the money
“Group members are using their earnings to travel when it’s safe again, share with their families and plan for retirement,” an OLG spokesperson said in a statement Friday.
The winning team members come from parts of the Greater Toronto Area, including some from Brampton, Toronto, Stoney Creek and Mississauga
