Nine lottery player to share Lotto Max lottery prize worth more than 473k

A group of nine from Mississauga, Toronto, and Brampton are sharing more than $73,000 after winning a Lotto Max second prize in the Sept. 6 draw.

The group members are Agustin Magno of Brampton, Adam Yee of North York, Davin Wong of Mississauga, Khoa Nguyen of Toronto, Lai Qiao of Markham, Man Lam of Markham, Maria Solitario of Scarborough, Mark Reyes of Ajax and Yunping Wong of Mississauga.

They are a group of bankers that play the lottery together weekly and still weren't anticipating a win.

"It's a routine play, so we didn't expect anything out of the ordinary," said Magno while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto recently to pick up the group’s total winnings of $73,443.40.

Magno found out they won while at the gas station checking their ticket.

He immediately messaged their group chat, but everyone thought he was joking.
