Lotto Max $60M jackpot shared by 12
A group of 12 workers in Markham, Ont. erupted into a profanity-laced frenzy after learning they had won Friday's record-high Lotto Max jackpot of $60 million.
The winners are employees of Canadian Black Book, a company that publishes resale information about used cars. They all participated in a group play run by their colleague, Dennis Cartier.
"Dennis deserves an Academy Award for this one," said co-worker Brad Rome. "He kept that incredible secret for days, then as calm as calm could be, he surprised us with the news."
Cartier said he didn't find out about the big win until he checked the numbers on Saturday afternoon while on his way to pick up lunch.

Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Pretty awesome to see the prize going to a group of people. While $60 million isn't something I'd turn down, it's going to make at least a dozen families pretty financially secure for the foreseeable future.
But damn, I'd hate to be one of the 5 people in the office who didn't participate.
