Million-buck win split by 37 Central Stampings co-workers
How much is a million dollars split 37 ways? A local group of Lotto MAX players get to do the math. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. has confirmed the group’s claim on a Maxmillions prize from a Lotto MAX draw on June 8. The million-dollar group win was one of two local cash prizes picked up in Toronto this week. A group of workers at Windsor’s Central Stampings won a $1-million Maxmillions prize after the winning ticket was purchased at Haf-Price Variety store at 1801 Drouillard Rd.
The group members are: Juan Fernandez (Windsor), Alaa Thiab (Windsor), Amer Karbala (Windsor), Borko Stojkovski (Windsor), Brian Fox (Wallaceburg), Carlos Osorio Merino (Windsor), Christopher McGarr (Windsor), David Lamarsh (Windsor), Dennis Abrigo (Windsor), Dwayne Lambkin ( Windsor), Ehren Martin (Amherstburg ), Emelito David ( Windsor), Eufracio Javier (Windsor), Hang Lay (Windsor), James Kollie Jr. (Windsor), James Laframboise (South Woodslee), Jason Martin ( Windsor), John Smithies ( Windsor), Judy Benito ( Windsor), Kevin Graves (Windsor), Khoi Bui ( Windsor), Kurt Morrison ( Windsor), Laura Arellanes Ruiz ( Windsor), Laura Haig (Ruscom Station), Michael Francisco (Windsor), Norlito Villas (Tecumseh), Pacifico III Torres (Windsor), Ronald Pagaduan ( Windsor), Ronda Jackson ( Windsor), Sherzad Sherwani (Windsor), Tan Pham (Windsor), Todd Duarte (Windsor), William Grady (Windsor), William Widmeyer (Windsor), Yadvinder Thakur (Windsor), Yves Gascon (South Woodslee) and Zagorka Markovic (Windsor). Draws for Maxmillions happen as part of Lotto MAX draws when the main jackpot reaches $50 million.
Every Maxmillions prize is $1 million, winnable by matching all seven number sets of a Maximillions draw.
The odds of winning Maxmillions is typically one in 28.6 million.
With the OLG’s confirmation, each member of the lucky group gets $27,027 — plus two cents. The next Lotto MAX draw is on Friday. Tickets are $5 per play. The other local winner was Polis Khael Dinkha of Windsor after going “All In” to win the Poker Lotto All In jackpot worth $136,213.50 on Oct. 17.
Polis also won $5,000 on the instant portion of his Poker Lotto play bringing his total winnings to $141.213.50.
That winning ticket was purchased at Crystal Convenience on Tecumseh Road in Windsor.
