A group of individuals from Fort McMurray are celebrating a $100,020 lottery win.

Bernard Gushue and six co-workers won the money on the April 13 LOTTO Max and EXTRA Draw.

They picked the last six digits of the EXTRA numbers, 6762715. They also won $20 on LOTTO Max.

Gushue and his co-workers, Marcel Benoit, Kevin White, Gordan Kearney, Paul Daigle, Gerard Jones and Maurice Kippenhuck will split the winnings and take home about $14, 288.50 each.

Gushue said they have similar plans for their winnings.

“I think most of us will use our winnings for practical things, home repairs, bill payments and helping our families.”

The group pitches $5 each to buy tickets every week.
