The winning LOTTO MAX ticket was purchased at Petro Canada on Kennedy Road in Brampton. “We won the largest jackpot in LOTTO MAX history,” announced Dennis Cartier to his 12 co-workers from Canadian Black Book in Markham, who won the record-high $60 million LOTTO MAX jackpot from the Friday September 25, 2015 draw. A wave of euphoria took over the office’s boardroom as the group erupted into cheers and laughter, with some even jumping on the boardroom table and dancing. Happy group members told their story at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where they picked up their winnings.
Dennis says he only found out about the group’s big win on Saturday afternoon on his way to pick up lunch. He stopped at a gas station, used OLG’s Ticket Checker, then folded the ticket into his wallet, raced home, signed it, and put it up on top of the fridge. Dennis joked, “I wanted to stay calm, eat my burrito and check the numbers again online. Every single number matched up, so I went back to where I bought the ticket and that’s when it all became very real.”
The 12 winners to each receive $5 million of the $60 million LOTTO MAX jackpot are: Dennis Cartier of Brampton, Bradley Rome of Toronto, Allison Scarangella Goodwin of Brampton, Andre Dias of Bradford, Andrew Breininger of Pickering, Anna Calcaterra of Richmond Hill,Claudio Santos of Bradford, Darlene Wright of Toronto, Joshua Bailey of Toronto, Karen Penney of Newmarket, Kathleen Ward of Toronto and Lawrence Shred of Brampton
OLG’s Vice President of Lottery Marketing and Sales Wendy Montgomery did the cheque presentation at the Prize Centre and said, “It’s always a great pleasure to celebrate a jackpot win with our lottery players, especially when we are celebrating the first-ever $60 million LOTTO MAX jackpot win.”
Each member of this winning group has a different plan for the prize money, with two things everyone agrees on. No one is quitting their day job at Canadian Black Book, and they are sticking together as a lottery group, ready to buy more LOTTO MAX tickets. LOTTO MAX is the lottery for those who dare to dream big. Jackpots can reach $60 Million. At $50 Million, Max Million prizes of $ 1 million each are added to the draw. Draws are held every Friday. There are three chances to win for $5. Details are available at the lottery retailer.
