Four Milton, Ontario couples have 14.5 million reasons to splurge.
The group bought one of the two Super-7 lottery tickets that won the wopping $25 million prize, leaving each couple with more than $3.5 million.
Bernetta Thistle screamed when she saw the numbers start rolling.
"The numbers just kept coming up, so I stopped checking," she said. "I still haven't."
All the numbers did come up. Since then, the four couples haven't come down. Thistle was the bearer of the good news to the rest of the group.
"I just couldn't sleep," said fellow winner Michael Banks. "I was talking to my mom in England for three hours this morning. Its overwhelming."
"We had our limo booked last night to come here this morning," Banks said.
While one of couples say they are going to "share the wealth." Thistle has his eyes on a big addition to his driveway.
"Yep, I'm the Hummer guy, he said of the $100,000 dream car that soon will be a reality. "I e-mailed them last night. they haven't gotten back to me. I am expecting a lot of calls. I want it by Friday. we'll see what happens."
The group has played the Super-7 lottery together for years and has no plans to stop.
"Darn right, we're gonna buy Super-7 when we leave here."
The holder of the other winning ticket has not come forward to claim the other half of the jackpot.
