An old SooToday photograph is part of the amazing story of Juliette Lamour, the 18-year-old who won one of the biggest lotteries in Canadian history — on her first-ever ticket

Thirteen years ago, SooToday published a heartwarming photograph of two young sisters — and their bright pink piggy bank.

The Lamour sisters were determined to help. They arrived at the rink with their “sharing” piggy bank. It contained exactly $61.38. During the cheque presentation on Feb. 3, Lamour was asked about that long-ago picture of two little girls and their joint piggy bank. Is the universe somehow rewarding you now for your childhood act of kindness?

A first-year biology student at Algoma University, Lamour says her biggest dream is still the same: she wants to attend medical school and one day work as a doctor in Northern Ontario. The only difference now is she’ll have no trouble affording tuition.
