18-YEAR-OLD BUYS FIRST LOTTERY TICKET, WINS $48 MILLION

An 18-year-old student named Juliette Lamour, having just turned of legal age, bought her first lottery ticket “for fun.” She won a jackpot worth $48 million Canadian dollars. Juliette told lottery officials that she forgot all about the ticket until she heard that there had been a winner — and the ticket had been purchased in her city, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. A co-worker checked on the ticket for her, and he began yelling that she had won $48 million. Juliet is the youngest person in Canadian lottery history to win such a large jackpot. As for what she plans on doing with her winnings, Juliette says the money will go towards her dream of becoming a doctor.
* Blow it all on malpractice insurance. Good plan.
* Dang! I wish my mom had encouraged ME to gamble when I was a teenager.
* I could see spending lottery winnings on becoming a doctor. A Doctor of Fun!!!
* The place where she works… They have an opening.
* The joke’s on her – 48 million Canadian dollars is actually only 35 million US dollars. Sucker.
