31 oil refinery workers – including twin brothers, a married couple, a father and son and three people who live on the same street in a tiny Newfoundland town – took on the mantle of millionaire on Wednesday.
It is the largest prize ever awarded in Atlantic Canada, and each winner will get about $1.9m.

Five of the workers say they are taking the opportunity to retire. The rest – all members of the same union – are staying on at the refinery, BBC reports
Sherry Moore Hickey, who bought the winning ticket for the group, said:
