A group of Quebec grocery store employees near Wakefield is richer after winning a provincial lottery.

Twenty-five workers at a local IGA grocery store learned Monday they had a winning $1-million lottery ticket.

Each of the employees - whose jobs range from clerks to store managers - are set to get about a $40,000 cut of the winnings.

The employees say they will use their money to pay off debts, pay down mortgages or buy a dream car.
