Original Toronto Star caption: Lottery winner now gainfully unemployed, Nancy Weir, 38, of Mississauga, the winner of $3,689,163 in last Wednesday's Lotto 6/49 draw, was working as an assistant manager of a cafeteria at the Ford plant in Oakville until yesterday morning. I went in and told them ?that?s it?. But I liked my job so I was nice about it, She said. Weir said she plans to bank most of her winnings, taking a long trip and start shopping for a new car.
