The group of laid-off Ottawa workers who won a Lotto 6/49 jackpot this week could barely contain their excitement as they picked up their $7 million cheque on Friday.
The 18 winners, 10 of whom just received pink slips from their employer, Smart Technologies, whooped in glee as they claimed their prize at the Ontario Lottery headquarters in Toronto.
"It's surreal," one winner told CTV News on Friday. "This has been nothing but a roller coaster ride."
Just days after learning that their Calgary-based software manufacturer decided to close its Ottawa plant the group found out they won.
