ST. JOHN’S, N.L. But with dozens of Newfoundlanders made millionaires by a shared $60-million Lotto Max jackpot, the corporation has had to find a larger space to accommodate the group and family members. Corporation spokeswoman Molly Cormier said Tuesday they had to arrange a space big enough for about 350 people who are expected to attend a ceremony in St. John’s on Wednesday when officials hand out the cheque. He says it could bring a much-needed infusion of cash to the East Coast town that often sees its iron workers, boiler makers and construction workers head to Western Canada for work. Social media is abuzz with reports the jackpot will be shared by about 30 construction workers who live in small towns that have felt the brunt of recent economic swings.
