One Ontario teen has many millions of new reasons to smile right now after winning a gigantic jackpot from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation .
What makes this moment even more special is that this draw was the very first-time Lamour ever purchased a lottery ticket. "When I went to the store, I wasn't sure what to ask for because I had never bought a ticket before, so I called my dad who told me to buy aQuick Pick. I still can't believe I hit the GOLD BALL jackpot on my very first lottery ticket," she said.
Seconds after the pair scanned the ticket, the iconic Winner/Gagnant jingle echoed from the phone the words"Big Winner" appeared on the screen."My colleague fell to his knees in disbelief. He was yelling, in fact everyone was yelling that I won $48 million! I didn't understand what was going on at first. I couldn't process this news. We kind of made a scene in the store that day," she recalled.
Thankfully her boss told her to head home for the day, obviously not in a state where she could continue to work.
