A man sued 24 colleagues after they cut him out of a $50million lottery win - as he was on holiday.
Christopher Bates, 54, contacted his lawyers after hearing his co-workers at the Bombardier plant won the mega prize in January 2011.
Each player was awarded more than $1.9million and around $2,500 in interest - but Christopher was denied a slice of the jackpot despite setting up the group.
