Co-worker suing for share of lottery prize
BY KEITH LACEY
A city employee has launched a civil lawsuit claiming he deserves his share of a $13.6 million jackpot won by five co-workers last summer.
In court papers filed at the Sudbury courthouse, Raymond Chamberland, claims he deserved to share in the Lotto 6/49 prize claimed by five fellow employees from the city’s waste management department when they claimed the huge lottery jackpot last July 9.
The five employees made national headlines when they claimed $2.7 million each. The five men named in the lawsuit are Ted Hreljac, Jeff McLaughlin,
Marc Chartier, Richard St. Martin and Kevin Provincial.
When contacted by Northern Life Monday, Chamberland referred all inquiries to his lawyer Richard Guy.
In a statement of claim filed by Guy at the Sudbury courthouse, Chamberland says he’s fully entitled to share in the lottery jackpot as he had joined a pool with the five winners and they had played Lotto 6/49 on a regular basis over several months.
The statement of claim states on the day before the winning numbers were drawn, Chamberland asked Provincial to “spot him” money needed to acquire tickets as part of the regular pool for July 9 draw and Provincial agreed to do just that.
