18 year old Canadian wins $48 million on first try

Feb 6 2023

Juliette Lamour, an 18-year-old student from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, recently won C$48 million in the lottery and became the youngest Canadian to do so.

Despite the sudden wealth, Juliette is pledging a level-headed approach to the winnings in order to stay humble and realistic.

She plans to continue her studies to become a doctor and invest the majority of the money with the help of her financial adviser, who also happens to be her father.

Juliette expressed being massively grateful for the win and intends to fulfil her dream of becoming a doctor without having to worry about grants or loans.

Once she finishes her studies, she plans to travel with her family and explore different countries to learn about their history, culture, food, and language. She also believes that money does not define a person, as it is their work that does.

Recounting how she received the news, she revealed that her colleague fell to his knees in disbelief. ‘He was yelling. In fact everyone was yelling that I won $48 million.’

Her boss told her that she could leave early, but her mother insisted she stay and finish her shift.

“I was crying – happy tears – of course,” she said at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation on Friday as she celebrated last month’s win.

Tortoise found by WasteServ workers after having been thrown away

Feb 6 2023

Environment, Energy and Enterprise Minister Miriam Dalli took to social media to condemn the act of someone throwing away a live tortoise, which was thankfully rescued by WasteServ workers.

Dalli said that it is already a massive problem that many members of the public do not recycle their rubbish properly. However, throwing away a live animal, she said, is ‘harm in its worst forms’.

Beyonce breaks record for most Grammy Awards in history

Feb 6 2023

Beyoncé got emotional as she broke the all-time record for most wins at the 65th Grammy Awards ever with 32 total awards.

Despite being fashionably late and missing the red carpet and previous wins, she arrived just in time to take home her 32nd trophy.

During her acceptance speech, she thanked her husband, children, and late gay uncle Johnny, whom she had called her godmother, for their support, saying that she wants to receive the night without being too emotional.

She expressed her gratitude toward the queer community for their love and for inventing the genre that she draws inspiration from. The 41-year-old singer’s absence from the event was earlier explained by host Trevor Noah as a result of LA traffic.

She eventually showed up around half an hour late and took home two more awards, Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best Dance/Electronic Recording.

With 31 Grammys throughout her career, Beyoncé was now tied with late orchestral conductor Sir Georg Solti, who won 31 before passing in 1997, and one away from the all-time record.
