A childhood photo that made the news is part of the amazing story of Juliette Lamour, the 18-year-old Ontario student who won a huge Lotto 6/49 prize — on her very first ticket

Thirteen years ago, our sister site SooToday published a heartwarming photograph of two little girls — and their bright pink piggy bank.

The Lamour sisters were determined to help. They arrived at the hockey 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 photo of two 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 remains the same: 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.
