Thirty-one oil refinery workers, including twin brothers, a married couple and a father and son, became instant millionaires Wednesday when the Atlantic Lottery Corp. presented them with a cheque worth a whopping $60 million. The winners and about 300 jubilant family members gathered at a convention centre in St. John’s to receive the huge jackpot after the group of boilermakers bought the lucky Lotto Max ticket last week. The group, assembled two rows deep on a stage and all wearing black t-shorts, described their shock when they found out they won the jackpot. the biggest yet in Atlantic Canada and one of the top five in Canada.
