Good for them. Wonder how the OLG tracked them down. Technology powers again. Who's calling them to ask for a loan .

TORONTO, Ont. - The rightful winners of a Super 7 lottery ticket finally received their $12.5-million prize plus interest, Thursday, after being ripped off in 2003.

The Ontario Provincial Police tracked them down following a major fraud investigation.

Seven men who worked together in Burlington shared the top prize.

OLG chair Paul Godfrey was on hand to present the cheque to the winners at a news conference Thursday.

The winning ticket was purchased on Dec. 26, 2003.

The winners (all from Ontario) are from Grimsby, St. Catharines, Burlington, Burford, Beamsville and Ridgeville. They are:

• Adam Barnett, 32
• Daniel Campbell, 37
• Jason Dykema, 34
• Daniel MacGregor, 36
• Michael Maddocks, 35
• James Reaman, 40
• Joseph Reaman, 35

The winning total is $14.85 million, which represents the initial $12.5-million, plus interest. Each person will receive $2,121,545.68.

The lottery win garnered public attention when the OPP charged three people in September 2010 with stealing the winning ticket. An all-out search then began for the rightful owner

Bet you a few others will come out their closet to say they also share part of the winnings.

I guess someone finally put their foot down and said "no more store owners winning prizes".....either that or this was deemed a PR event so that they can say "hey, we spent millions finding these rightful winners" yet thousands of employees still claim prizes.....

It doesn't say if they awarded the theives initially and how did they find out the ticket was stolen?

If the actual winners played the same numbers all the time, it would be relatively easy to track them down....I bet they played quick picks though.

According to the story, 250 or so did already and each of them were referred to the OPP. I wonder if the wingnuts realize that by falsely claiming the prize was there's, they're committing fraud....or at least attempted fraud....

^^^^ hell no, we don't put career criminals or gun runners in jail so they'll probably just get a stern talking to....

Hell I hope not. Stealing people's years of freedom deserves jail time.
