American CFL player didn't know Canadian rule and it cost his team the game

Halloween was extra special for one lottery player whose retirement is now even sweeter after a massive win. Richard Plante, a Lanaudière, Quebec resident, used to work as an operator at a Montreal brewery before retiring in 2018. When it comes to playing the lottery, Plante said that he regularly plays Grande Vie and purchases tickets on his phone. The game’s second prize is $25,000 a year for life, while the first prize winner receives $1,000 a day for life.

A couple of lucky Canadian lottery players will wake up to some happy news this weekend. The Lotto 6/49 draw took place on Saturday, November 2, and the jackpot is still up for grabs because no one won the $22 million Gold Ball prize. But after they matched the winning number 52227892-01, one lottery player will soon claim the life-changing $1 million White Ball prize. According to PlayNow, the ticket was sold in Ontario.

Calgary Flames forward Andrei Kuzmenko appears to be in Ryan Huska’s doghouse right now. Vibes were high in Calgary last night after the Flames were able to snap a four-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over Jacob Markstrom and the New Jersey Devils. Several individuals had great performances in this one, including Dan Vladar, who had his first shutout of the season. One who wasn’t so great, however, was Kuzmenko.

It’s been two years since Menya Itto, the cult ramen brand hailing from Japan, opened its first North American location in Vancouver. Today, the restaurant shared that it will shut down its Robson Street outpost and withdraw from the Canadian market altogether. When it launched in Vancouver in 2022, it was the number-one-rated, most famous shop in Tokyo. With that acclaim came tons of hype prior to the opening. The 1,800 sq ft space launched with 32 seats and eight more at its counter. Design features included Mount Fuji-inspired artwork, custom wooden tables, and a square-shaped communal table highlighted by a stunning tree centrepiece. Known for its light, smooth broth that is slowly simmered for 12 hours, Menya Itto is widely known as the “King of Tsukemen.” So, with all this buzz, why didn’t it work out for Menya Itto here in Vancouver? Owners say it’s simple: the “dark economic period” brought on by the pandemic and a significant delay in its opening (originally slated to launch in 2020, two years before it would eventually open). Menya Itto shared a full statement on its social media and also noted that it won’t be speaking further on the closure/market departure. You’ve still got until the closing date, November 15, to head in for some of these famous noodles before they leave Canada for good. Vancouver is known for its abundance of delicious ramen spots. Are you sad to see this one go? Let us know in the comments.
