The town of Barrie, Ontario, has a population of around 2,000 people. Another Maxmillions prize winner from June 8 and an Innisfil company owner who had been affected hard by the epidemic have now combined to give them a half-million reasons to grin.

In order to ensure that none of his employees' income was lost, Pratheeban Sivarajah paid for them all to remain on the payroll at his own cost. "I want to reinvest the proceeds of this victory back into my company."

A Petro Canada on Highway 7 in Markham, Ontario, according to the 42-year-old, was where the winning Lotto Max ticket numbers were drawn at random.
