Here's Today's Feel-Good Story:
Juliette Lamur won the Sault Saint Marie lottery, $48 Million CAD, on her first-ever try.
At 5 years old, Juliette helped to raise money for Haiti after the 2010 earthquake that ravaged the island. She and her sister emptied their piggy bank and the total came to $61.38.
Juliette said that she was on her way to get her grandfather ice cream:
“I called him on the phone asking what kind of ice cream he wanted,” she recalled. “And he said to me: ‘You just turned 18, go buy a lotto ticket, test your luck.’ So I did.”
“I got to the corner store and I’m in my car—and I didn’t know how to buy it,” she said laughing. “So I had to call my dad. I said: ‘Dad, Grandpa wants me to buy a ticket. How do I do it?’ He’s like: ‘Oh, just go inside and get a QuickPick.’”
