Three Halton residents are among a group of eight who won the lottery recently!
The group won $1 million in the Tuesday, February 20th LOTTO MAX draw. This includes:
- Michael Papineau of Brampton
- Catherine Chan of Scarborough
- Drew Williamson of Oro-Medonte
- Ian D’Costa of Oakville
- John McKinnell of Burlington
- Phyllis Lam of Pickering
- Sabah Goderya or Burlington
- Sanjeev Randev of Richmond Hill
Papineau says the group has been playing the lottery together for seven years.
“I was doing the laundry when I decided to check our tickets and to my surprise, I found we had a big winner,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect the group’s winnings. “I had to show John to confirm the win. I was in such disbelief and pure shock. We only told our close family and spouses. We kept the news pretty small.”
Plans are underway for the group members windfall. Papineau is considering a trip to Disney and plans to pay some bills. D’Costa is thinking about purchasing a small boat. The rest of the group will save their portion of the winnings for now.
The winning ticket was purchased on OLG.ca.
