Three Ontario friends win $21-million Lotto 6/49 jackpot

Three Ontario friends are now $21 million richer after winning the Lotto 6/49 jackpot after playing together for 16 years.

According to the OLG, one of the friends, Kenneth Nitsotolis from Markham, woke up and checked his e-mail and got a massive surprise.

"I opened the e-mail and confetti appeared on the screen," Nitsotolis said. "I rubbed my eyes and thought we won $21,000, but there were too many numbers."

Kitsotolis said he video called his friends, Bill Tepelenas and Dino Martino from Toronto, to share the news. 

The group have been playing Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max together since 2005.
