Lotto Winners In Alberta Took Home $1M Together

A group of six friends in Alberta hit the jackpot when they won $1 million playing the Lotto 6/49, but when a virtual call was set up to break the amazing news, one person completely missed it.

The winning ticket was bought by Susan Solano and five friends who have been playing the lottery together for three years, from a Husky in St. Albert on June 16, ahead of the June 18 Lotto 6/49 draw.

Solano, who is from St. Albert, discovered the group had won a cool $1 million when she opened the Lotto Spot app and checked her ticket a few days after the draw.

Despite the app saying she was a winner, Solano ended up checking in store too, just to remove any doubt.

"I checked the ticket on the app and immediately went to the store to make sure I was seeing things right," Solano said.

Solano is splitting the money with Todd Nielsen, Luis De La Torre Fossi, Dean Lunt, Romina Garcia and Fatima Fider. The win means that each of them is getting $166,667.
