A group of 62 people from central Ontario is one step closer to claiming a $1 million lottery win.
According to the OLG, the group won a $1 million Maxmillion from the Lotto Max draw on March 31. They also won $20 on another selection ticket, bringing their total winnings to $1,000,020.
If divided evenly among 62, that would be approximately $16,129.35 for each person.
The OLG says one in the group — Karen Sullivan of Ennismore — is an employee at an authorized OLG retailer. As a result, the prize falls within OLG’s definition of an Insider Win.
“Karen did not purchase or validate the ticket at her place of employment,” the OLG stated Monday.
As of Nov. 2, the claimants have completed the first step of a two-step Insider Win process, which included enhanced scrutiny of the prize claim. To complete the prize claim, the prize will be held for a 30-day waiting period as part of OLG’s Insider Win process, in order for OLG to publicize the win.
If there are no additional claims on this prize it will be paid to the claimants on Dec. 1, the OLG said.
The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on King Street in Lindsay.
