Now They’re Millionaire Friends
Three Ontario friends are now $21 million richer after winning the Lotto 6/49 jackpot after playing together for 16 years.
According to the OLG, one of the friends, Kenneth Nitsotolis from Markham, woke up and checked his e-mail and got a massive surprise.
“I opened the e-mail and confetti appeared on the screen,” Nitsotolis said. “I rubbed my eyes and thought we won $21,000, but there were too many numbers.”
Kitsotolis said he video called his friends, Bill Tepelenas and Dino Martino from Toronto, to share the news. The group have been playing Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max together since 2005.
The men will split the $21,185,218.10 jackpot from the Sept. 22 draw.
The group say they don’t have any plans on how to spend their winnings just yet.
