Six Delta co-workers who have been playing the lottery together for over three years hit it big last month when they shared a $1 million MAXMILLION prize.
Jackie Collins, responsible for buying the group's tickets each week, admits she doesn't always check them right away.
"So when I stopped for gas more than two weeks later I figured I should check the tickets. On the last ticket I saw the zeros flashing and neither I nor the retailer knew what to do."
Collins headed straight to the London Drugs in Ladner to share the exciting news but none of her co-workers believed a word she said.
"There's a prankster in our group," she explained.
"So everyone was hesitant to believe the win."
Once she presented the ticket to the group, the $1 million prize began to sink in.
Each of the six winners plans to have a bit of fun with their share, using it for vacations, new camera equipment and education savings.
The ticket was purchased at the Shell gas station on Ladner Trunk Road.
Collins and her co-workers claimed one of eight winning MAXMILLIONS throughout Canada from the March 7 draw.
