Langley Shoppers Drug Mart Employee Dalbir Sandhu Is Being Accused Of Hiding A $50 Million Lotto Max Ticket Allegedly Bought In A Workplace Pool!
Gayleen Elliott claims co-worker Dalbir Sidhu bought the winning ticket with workplace pool money – then secretly converted it for his own benefit. The winning Lotto Max numbers on March 14, 2014, were: 3, 4, 7, 12, 17, 26, 34, and bonus number 1.
