Chilliwack co-workers share Maxmillion prize

A group of employees at a Chilliwack auto dealership are $1 million richer.

The 17 co-workers, who had been buying tickets together for about three years, won a $1 million Maxmillion prize on the December 13, 2013 Lotto Max draw.

The $1 million win works out to about two years of pay for each person in the lottery pool. Winners say they’ll pay off bills and save for retirement.

The winning ticket was sold at the Otter Co-op Gloucester in Langley.

Lotto Max can be played at all lottery retail locations and online at PlayNow.com, with tickets available until 6:00 p.m. (PT) on draw day (Friday). Winning numbers and group release forms can be found online at bclc.com.
