SASKATOON – A group of co-workers from Saskatoon have a million reasons to smile this holiday season. The 18 SaskTel employees are cashing in on a million dollar prize in the Dec. 11 Lotto Max draw.
Gerald Friesen said they discovered the win a few days after the draw when several of them were having coffee.
“The first ticket I checked was the big winner,” recalled Friesen. “I couldn’t believe it.”
