TORONTO (Apr 10, 2006)

Lottery employee Stephen Cook dismisses the incredulous reaction to his winning $8.5 million in the March 22 Lotto 6/49 draw. "If I had an inside edge, do you think it would have taken me 20 years to win?" said the operations analyst who has worked for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. for 18 years.

He's the first employee in over 30 years to win a jackpot this size.
