Jackpot! Lottery Group Nets $17.5M

The elder statesman of the group, 65-year-old Roger Malo, finally will retire, purchase a new home, car and computer, then bestow cash gifts of $125,000 to his son and daughter, according to the Journal de Montreal.

Marcel Lacelle, the organizer of the lottery pool, has also given notice. He plans to take courses in auto mechanics so that he can purchase and repair cars as a hobby, the Journal noted.
