YEAR IN REVIEW: The 18-year-old who won $48M — on her first-ever lottery ticket

In February, an 18-year-old Algoma University student came forward to claim one of the largest jackpots in Lotto 6/49 history — on the very first ticket she ever purchased.

After the cheque presentation at OLG, Juliette Lamour sat down for an exclusive interview with Inside the Village, a news podcast produced at Village Media's headquarters on Queen Street.

Lamour shared the details of her unbelievable stroke of luck: what motivated her to buy that ticket, the precise moment her life changed forever, and what she plans to do with such an enormous amount of money. (Spoiler alert: Lamour dreams of going to medical school and one day practicing in Northern Ontario).

During the interview, she also talked about a now-famous childhood photograph that made the local news: a picture of Lamour and her little sister donating the contents of their pink piggy bank to earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.
