Winning the lottery can be an exciting time. But before one group of coworkers in British Columbia can pick up their millions, they'll have to prove they are the only winners.

Eight women and one man -- all workers at an A&W fast-food restaurant in Mission, B.C. -- claim to share a jackpot worth $14.5 million dollars.

However, two other co-workers say they have been cheated out of winnings, and are demanding to get their share.

"It's not right. It's wrong. What they did was wrong. There are other girls that were involved in that that they should include," said Tanis McQuillan.

McQuillan and Megan Weisgarber say they contributed to the lottery ticket every week. But the problem is, they have no proof.

Both sides have put their arguments to the British Columbia Lottery Corporation.

"We do have the winning ticket, and the lottery corporation will contact us in a couple of days and everything will be sorted out," said lottery winner Francis Carcasson.

However, Weisgarber is hopeful she will be included.

"We're in the right here."

"We want to ensure that the rightful owners of our tickets get the prize. I think that's what the lottery is all about," said Jim Lightbody of the Lottery Corporation.
