Catherine Wall, Carmen Austria and Gary Perkins won 50 million Canadian dollars (around 35 million euros) in mid-December. The three ex-colleagues have gotten into the habit of playing the lottery together on a regular basis for 17 years, with the hope of perhaps one day winning the jackpot.
“I am happy that the three of us can share this amount. It’s a lot of money, I don’t know what I would have done with $50 million,” Carmen said.
