A group of Canadian technology workers won a $7m lottery this week on the same day they lost their jobs at an Ottawa manufacturing plant.
The 18 workers won the Lotto 6/49 prize on Wednesday, the same day their employer Smart Technologies announced massive layoffs, starting in September.
The Calgary-based company said it is shifting its manufacturing to Mexico.
Ten of the 18 who will share in the lottery prize were made redundant.
