The other day I posted a message about a one million dollar winning lottery ticket that was not claimed.
This time I have a better story.
A small manufacturing plant in Ottawa, Ontario, was shutting its doors due to the recession and had just handed out layoff notices to the workers. Amost none of them has any prospects of another job and their futures looked bleak.
The following day a pool of 18 workers won 7 million tax-free dollars on the national lotttery.
Talk about your good and timely luck!!!
Divided 18 ways they won't get an insane amount of money in one lump, but it will certainly make the future look brighter for that group anyway.
They were interviewed on TV and seemed to be sensible about their win - no flashy cars, yachts, etc., but they will pay off their mortgages and debts and manage the rest wisely.
Let's hope they stick to that plan.
