When Juliette Lamour turned 18, her grandfather encouraged her to buy a lottery ticket for fun. She decided to give it a go.
"The pharmacist, his hands went to his head, he fell on his knees. He's like, 'Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!'" the university student recalled during a ceremony at OLG last Friday."I was so in shock. ... He showed me the phone. He's like, 'You just won this!' I'm like, 'How many zeroes is that? Let me count!'"At 18, Lamour has become the youngest to win such a large jackpot in Canadian lottery history.
"She came to my work and I gave her the ticket. I was so scared. I already signed it all shaky," she continued. Lamour, who lives in Sault Ste. Marie, was presented with her winning check on Feb. 3. She's now become the youngest person to win such a large jackpot in Canadian lottery history.Juliette Lamour poses for a photo with an oversized check after winning a $48 million lottery."Once school is done, my family and I will pick a continent and start exploring," the 18-year-old said in a news release statement."I am not a 'sit on the beach' type of person.
"I wanted to go to medical school before winning the lottery. Now I can pursue this dream without worrying about grants or loans," Lamour said."As a member 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.
