I just heard from my mother that one of the winners of the Lotto 6/49 jackpot from Saturday night - the second-biggest ever in Canadian lottery history, at over $43 million - is someone we know. I can't believe it!
But it's true - I just found the story and photo online in the Toronto Star. JP and his wife VP have been friends of my parents for nearly 30 years. JP bought the ticket in a regular lotto pool at work, and that ticket was one of four winners in the draw Saturday night. That means he's won $1.3 million. Awesome. Couldn't have happened to better or more deserving people! So happy for them!
EDIT: Just found this video online at CTV, featuring JP doing the 'dance of joy' - as well he should. Heh.
