Canada's newest millionaire, an 18-year-old university freshman from northern Ontario, has achieved a lot of firsts with a recent lottery win. Here is her story.
Lamour said she had forgotten about the ticket until hearing while at work the winning one was purchased in Sault Ste. Marie."My colleague fell to his knees in disbelief," she said.
Lamour told the crowd that she plans to fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor and practising medicine in northern Ontario. "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."Focusing on finishing her studies this year is a priority, Lamour said, but she will be planning some adventures for this summer.
