Nine Londoners are among a group of 30 people from Southern Ontario who will be splitting a $1 million Lotto Max win, OLG reported Thursday.
The group won the prize through the March 18, 2022, Lotto Max draw, the agency said, listing Maureen Delainey, Clarke Ferris, David Ellis, Douglas Paul etc.
The remaining 21 recipients hail from Arkona, Belmont, Burford, Dorchester, Dutton, Hickson, Ilderton, Ingersoll, Lucan, Maberly, Mount Brydges, Petrolia, St. Thomas, Tillsonburg, Woodstock, OLG says.
Delainey, 54, identified as the leader of the 30-person pool, said the group has been playing the Lotto Max lottery together for 15 years.
“We play every Friday. I checked our ticket and to my surprise, it was a big winner!” she said in a statement issued by OLG.
Delainey was among four group members photographed recently at the OLG’s prize centre in Toronto.
It’s the second time this week that the OLG has announced a London resident to be the recipient of a $1 million Lotto Max win.
