A cool million: Check of bank account proves lottery win was real

Another family has joined the millionaire’s club, adding to the recent streak of lottery winners in Newfoundland and Labrador. Lester Hillier and Barbara Thomas, of Grand Falls-Windsor, collected the cheque Wednesday for $1 million after winning the Lotto Max MaxMillions draw May 29. “We checked the bank account this morning, and the money’s there – that makes it a little more real!” he joked.
