Family wins 50 million in Lottery
TORONTO - When Lynda Powell struggled to speak about her family's $50 million lottery win Monday, her husband and children joked she had lost her voice after hours of excited screaming and non-stop chatter ever since winning the July 5 Lotto Max jackpot. The Peterborough, Ont., family — made up of father John, mother Lynda and adult children Daniel, Gaylene, Michael and Sion — gathered in Toronto to receive their giant cheque from Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. Lynda Powell, who quit her job Monday as a dietary aide at a retirement home, was the first to find out about winning Friday's jackpot. "I checked the ticket on the self-scanner after grocery shopping and was shocked to see all the zeros," she said in a statement handed out to reporters on account of her laryngitis. She returned home to tell her husband, who needed to check the numbers himself. Wearing pyjamas and slippers, John Powell went to the local corner store, in disbelief over the win. News spre
