Regina Couple Wins Lottery

By Carol Thomson Jun 22, 2018 | 2:53 PM

When June Katona saw her husband arrive at their Regina home that fateful night with tears in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she thought maybe he was in some kind of trouble.
It was the exact opposite of that, though.
Don and June won $2.5-million on a Lotto 6/49 free ticket.
It was a shared $5-million jackpot with another winning ticket bought in Calgary.
The Katonas will be putting some of their winnings into savings and they plan to do some traveling and shopping for a brand new car, something June Katona says she has never had.

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
