A father and his two children, aged 11 and 14, set out on a snowmobile tour on Lake Winnipeg yesterday. They started out in sunny, clear conditions that suddenly deteriorated to whiteout conditions.
Again there was a record 6-49 jackpot yesterday. None of the 3 winners were from Manitoba. Three Ontario players had the winning numbers.
