🤑 MONEY

If you're looking for work, Toronto Metropolitan University is hiring and there are some pretty high-paying jobs!

Get ready to be jealous... Someone from Toronto recently claimed the $70 million Lotto Max jackpot from the April 19 draw.

The new Lotto Max winner bought the ticket matching all seven numbers while out getting groceries in the city.

Speaking of groceries, Sarah Rohoman compared her grocery bill from a GTA chain to Loblaws and figured out how much money she can save each week.

You could be costing yourself money in the city without even knowing it. How? Well, there are a bunch of Toronto by-laws that you might be unknowingly breaking.

Fines for breaking these sometimes unknown by-laws can be $500, $5,000 or even $100,000!
