SOMEONE IN ONTARIO COULD BE ABOUT TO LOSE $40 MILLION… AND THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN KNOW IT! 😳

An unclaimed LOTTO MAX jackpot worth $40 MILLION is set to expire on October 28, 2026 — and the clock is ticking.

According to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), the winning ticket was purchased at an authorized lottery retailer in Grey County, an area that includes Owen Sound, Meaford, The Blue Mountains and Hanover.

The ticket matched the winning numbers from the October 28, 2025 draw, but the person who bought it still hasn’t come forward.

🎟️ The winning numbers were:
06 • 14 • 17 • 19 • 26 • 43 • 45
Bonus: 27

OLG is urging people to check old tickets and look through wallets, purses, jacket pockets, car compartments and drawers. Someone may have bought the ticket while visiting the area and forgotten about it.

If nobody claims the prize before the deadline, the $40 million will be returned to players through future bonus games or promotions.

💬 Be honest — do you check every lottery ticket you buy, or have you ever thrown one away without checking? 👀

📲 You can check your tickets through the OLG app, at a lottery retailer, or visit OLG’s official unclaimed tickets page.

AND I SAY, HEY! ARTHUR READ IS TURNING 30! 😭

If you grew up watching Arthur, this one might make you feel OLD.

The beloved animated aardvark made his television debut on October 7, 1996, introducing a generation to Arthur, his little sister D.W., his best friend Buster and the rest of the gang in Elwood City.

Based on the children’s books by Marc Brown, the show ran for 25 seasons and 253 episodes before wrapping up in 2022. Along the way, it tackled everything from friendship and bullying to school struggles and family drama — all while Arthur somehow stayed 8 years old and in third grade. 😂

And yes, the iconic yellow sweater, the glasses and that legendary clenched-fist meme are officially part of childhood history.

Three decades later, the theme song still lives rent-free in our heads. 🎶

💬 Be honest: How old were you when you first watched Arthur? And did you watch it on CBC or PBS? 👇

PRINCE HARRY SAYS HE FELL INTO DEPRESSION AFTER MOVING TO CANADA

Prince Harry is opening up about a difficult chapter of his life — and it began just days after arriving in Canada.

In late 2019, Harry, Meghan Markle and their young son Archie moved to Vancouver Island to get some space from the pressures surrounding royal life.

But in a new MasterClass conversation about grief and mental health, Harry revealed that within 2–3 days of arriving in Canada, he experienced what he called an “adrenaline crash.”

After years of living under intense stress, he said he felt like he couldn’t function without the adrenaline — and that he “slipped into depression for about two weeks.”

Harry also reflected on years of feeling emotionally numb after the death of his mother, Princess Diana, when he was just 12. He said he had spent a long time telling people he was fine, even while struggling internally.

The conversation is part of Redefining Grief: Building Resilience Through Loss, a MasterClass featuring neuroscientist Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor.

📍 The Sussexes’ time in Canada came shortly before they announced in January 2020 that they would step back as senior working members of the British royal family.

💬 What do you think — can stepping away from a high-pressure life sometimes bring emotions to the surface that you’ve been suppressing?

BISCUIT IS FINALLY HOME.

After being stolen from the Markham Fair, Biscuit the Holland Lop rabbit has been safely returned to his family — bringing a very happy ending to a story that had the community searching for answers.

Biscuit belonged to a 10-year-old girl who had entered him in the rabbit competition at the fair. He won first place before being taken from his enclosure in the Pet and Poultry Building on the evening of October 3.

The family was devastated, especially Biscuit’s young owner, who considered him her little best friend. York Regional Police were notified and the disappearance sparked an outpouring of support online.

Then came the breakthrough.

💰 A cash reward was offered by a stranger who wasn’t connected to the family, simply because she wanted to help. The individuals who took Biscuit eventually came forward, and the bunny was returned safely to his family.

The family says their home is now filled with “happy tears and pure joy” having Biscuit back.

The Markham Fair says it is reviewing its security protocols to help prevent something like this from happening again and thanked the community, volunteers, media and everyone who helped spread the word.

🐰 Biscuit won first place at the fair… and now he’s officially won Toronto-area hearts too.

TORONTO, THE GONG SIGNS ARE BACK.

If you thought you’d seen the last of those blue-and-yellow Edward Gong signs around the city… think again.

Gong is once again running for mayor of Toronto, and with election signs officially allowed to go up as of October 1, the familiar signs have started popping up across the city.

If you remember the 2023 mayoral election, Gong’s campaign was hard to miss. His signs and advertising were seemingly everywhere, earning him plenty of attention — even though he ultimately finished 11th with about 0.4% of the vote.

Now he’s back for another run.

And Toronto residents are already reacting to the return of the infamous signs, with plenty of jokes and memes making the rounds online. 😂

🚨 THE GONG SHOW IS BACK.

Be honest…

Did you miss the Gong signs, or were you hoping they’d stay gone? 👇😂
