 On this episode: an exclusive interview with Juliette Lamour, the 18-year-old university student who came forward Friday morning to claim one of the largest jackpots in Lotto 6/49 history.

After weeks of rumours, the Sault Ste. Marie resident finally revealed herself as the $48-million winner of the Jan. 7 Gold Ball draw.  

At 18, she is Ontario’s youngest winner of such a massive jackpot. In fact, her lucky ticket was the first she’d ever purchased.  In her only sit-down interview, Lamour tells Inside the Village the amazing full story: what motivated her to buy that ticket, the precise moment her life changed forever, and what she plans to do with such an enormous amount of money.
