Seven coworkers recently won $1 million with Lotto Max and the group includes a woman from Norwich.

SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO - A woman from Norwich is part of a group that recently won $1 million off a lottery ticket.

Michelle Borrett and her seven co-workers won big in the June 17th Lotto Max draw.

She's the only one from Oxford County. The others are from London, St. Thomas, Dorchester, Simcoe, Goderich, Exeter, and Grand Bend.

Carla Scherle-Thompson of Grand Bend is the group leader. She was very excited to share the exciting news with her coworkers.

"I sent them an email and made them scroll to the very bottom to find out how much we won. When they all opened it, everyone threw off their headsets, got up, and did a big dance! They were all ecstatic."

Scherle-Thompson says the money is a welcoming addition to all of the group members. She adds some of them will set their winnings aside for home improvements, family vacations, and savings.

The ticket was purchased at the Shoppers Drug Mart on Commissioners Road in London.
