Big bucks in Arichat

Four fish plant workers in Arichat landed a one-million-dollar Lotto 6-49 prize after just two weeks of playing the lottery together.

The co-workers checked their tickets for the October 19th draw and thought they were out of luck, then realized they had checked the Atlantic 49 numbers instead of the main 6/49 draw.

They say they will help out family members, travel; and buy land, but plan to keep working at the fish plant.

Richmond County concerns

NDP Leader Gary Burril says he doesn’t believe the government has handled the issue around the donations made at a Liberal fundraiser in Richmond County honourably.  If there’s any ethical questions, the money should be returned.

His comments came after the dismissal of former Richmond County warden Steve Sampson from the Liberal caucus office.
