A group of 15 coworkers from a car dealership in Trois-Rivières, Que., are celebrating a life-changing $20 million Lotto Max win.
A group of 15 Quebec car dealership coworkers in Trois-Rivières, Que., are now millionaires after winning the $20 million Lotto Max jackpot last week.
The life-changing win was celebrated Tuesday when the group was officially awarded their cheque of $1.3 million
A statement from Loto-Québec said the winning ticket was purchased as part of a group play from Marché Express on rue de la Diversité in Les Chenaux.
The retailer that sold the ticket will also receive a $200,000 bonus — 1 per cent of the total prize.
“This is tremendous news for our region,” said Isabelle Jean, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of Lottery Operations at Loto-Québec.
“It’s wonderful to see a Lotto Max jackpot won here, and even better that it’s being shared among a team of hard-working individuals. Loto-Québec has already made nearly 60 millionaires this year alone.”
Christian Dessureault, who usually organizes the group ticket purchases, was the first to check the numbers early the morning they won.
“Here’s your pension fund,” he joked as he distributed shares of the ticket to his colleagues.
