A pair of Milton residents will be splitting $1 million with a friend after winning the lottery together!
William and Cindy Beaulieu of Milton, and Marc Duperrouzel of Brampton matched all seven ENCORE numbers in exact order in the Saturday, November 16th LOTTO 6/49 draw.
The trio have been playing the lottery together for about six years. While they purchase some tickets individually, it was their group LOTTO 6/49 ticket that led to their big win!
“I took our ticket to the store to have it validated, and was surprised to discover we won $1 million,” said William, while he, Cindy, and Marc visited the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their winnings.
Since discovering their win, the group has kept the news under wraps. They shared that winning comes with a sense of relief and astonishment.
“It’s unbelievable! We couldn’t have imagined this would happen to us,” said Cindy.
With their windfall, the group plans to pay some bills.
The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on Bronte Street South in Milton.
