🚨 OMG… COULD YOU IMAGINE?! 🚨

Someone is walking around with a $40 MILLION winning lottery ticket… possibly stuffed in an old purse beside a dried-up lip balm and a receipt from 2025. 😳💸

The LOTTO MAX ticket was purchased in Grey County, Ontario, for the October 28th, 2025 draw—and it EXPIRES OCTOBER 28, 2026!

Imagine finding it on October 29. I would need a fainting couch and a support group. 😭

Visited Owen Sound, Meaford, The Blue Mountains, Flesherton, Markdale, Durham or Hanover? Even if you were just passing through, CHECK YOUR TICKETS!

👜 Dig through those purses.
🧥 Check last fall’s coat pockets.
🚗 Open the glove compartment.
🗄️ Investigate that kitchen drawer where paperwork goes to die.

Winning numbers: 06, 14, 17, 19, 26, 43, 45
Bonus: 27

Think it could be yours? Contact OLG at 1-800-387-0098 or visit the OLG Unclaimed Tickets page: https://about.olg.ca/winners-and-players/ticket-information/unclaimed-tickets/

Share this—somebody’s retirement plan could be sitting under a pile of Canadian Tire receipts! 😂

💔 - Sass Jordan

On Oct 2 2026, surrounded by her loving family, Sass Jordan peacefully crossed over to the other side.

She remains in our hearts, an inimitable force of nature. An irreplaceable being of light and joy!

I’d rather quit this life
Jumping with both feet
Into the-you know what
Without a backward look

I’d rather go running there
Arms wide open,
Than slowly ambling
One foot in
Over the edge
Di**le dangling

And no my darlings
Not the slightest jot of fear
And nothing of regret

But for the rest of me
I’ll stand by laughing
Remembering this body
That served me so brilliantly
Through sunshine and other stuff.

I’ll thank it profoundly
And move on, singing
But this time,
Ah yes, this time,
In perfect tune

⚽ TWO CHARGED IN AJAX FC SOCCER CLUB FRAUD INVESTIGATION

Durham Regional Police say two former employees of the Ajax FC Soccer Club are facing multiple charges following an investigation into more than $650,000 in league funds.

The Financial Crimes Unit began investigating in December 2024 after reported irregularities were discovered in the club’s banking transactions.

Police allege that, following a review of several years of financial records, investigators found more than $650,000 had been transferred from the Ajax Soccer Club account to various other accounts between early 2023 and 2024.

The accused were employed as the club’s Executive Director and General Manager.

Vicki Scott, 50, of Whitby is charged with:
• Fraud Over $5,000
• Laundering Proceeds of Crime
• Breach of Trust

Richard Karikari, 47, of Ajax is charged with:
• Fraud Over $5,000
• Possession of Proceeds of Crime
• Breach of Trust

Both were released on an undertaking.

Anyone with information is asked to contact D/Cst. Tisi of the DRPS Financial Crimes Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5279.

Anonymous tips can also be provided to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The charges have not been proven in court.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

Today, September 30, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.

It is a day to honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, the Survivors who did, and their families and communities.

Orange Shirt Day began in Williams Lake, British Columbia, in 2013 and has grown into a national movement of remembrance, reflection and learning.

The orange shirt has become a powerful symbol of the culture, freedom and self-esteem taken from generations of Indigenous children — and a reminder that Every Child Matters.

Truth and reconciliation require more than acknowledging the past. They ask us to listen, to learn, to remember and to understand the lasting impacts of the residential school system.

Today, we wear orange. We honour Survivors. We remember the children who never came home. And we continue the work of reconciliation. 🧡
