'When I went to the store, I wasn’t sure what to ask for because I had never bought a ticket before, so I called my dad who told me to buy a Lotto 6/49 Quick Pick.'
Juliette Lamour of Sault Ste. Marie is now part of Canadian lottery history after winning $48 million as the sole winner of the Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball jackpot from the January 7 draw.
Lamour forgot about the ticket until news started to spread that the winning Lotto 6/49 ticket worth $48 million was purchased in the Soo. “My colleague fell to his knees in disbelief. He was yelling, in fact, everyone was yelling that I won $48 million! I didn’t understand what was going on at first. I couldn’t process this news. We kind of made a scene in the store that day!” “Because I was crying — happy tears — of course, my mom couldn’t understand what was going on.
“I wanted to go to medical school before winning the lottery. Now, I can pursue this dream without worrying about grants or loans. As a member of the Garden River First Nation community, I was eligible for educational assistance programs, but I no longer need those resources which means someone else in the community can benefit from that funding. I really want to come back to this area as a doctor so I can give back to my community.
