TORONTO - A couple of MaxMillions lottery winners will have to wait until next month to collect their money.
Ontario Lottery and Gaming says the wins by Hidayatullah Faqirzada and Natalie Wilkins fall under the agency's definition of insider wins.
Faqirzada, who won $333,333.40 in the Dec. 24 draw is an employee of an OLG retail location.
Wilkins won $500,000 in the Dec. 31 draw, but her win is considered an insider win because her daughter works at an OLG retail location.
The payment of prizes to insiders is held for 30 days to allow anyone with concerns regarding the prize to come forward.
OLG says Faqirzada and Wilkins should receive their winnings on April 25, after the mandatory 30-day waiting period for inside winners expires.
