Kudos to you Carl.......a person can get carried away and I admire you for not even giving it a try. You must be very happy with your life in general. I only use spare loonies/toonies and never use a charge card to buy any lottery tickets. I have seen some addicted people over the years. It's sad.

I don't buy lottery tickets either, as I think it's a form of voluntary taxation. Although it gets tempting at times. I think your life as you knew would change radicaly, and not necessarily for the better. Years ago, a friend won $250,000 in a lottery, and he had people bugging him constantly for money. He had to change his phone number and go unlisted.
Custom built rambling bungalow with very large shop round the back and a garage door off the living room so I could wheel my beasties in and store them in heat and comfort.
I'd find Milt Robson and befriend him.
I'd pay for a large monument to be placed in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in honor of all the unclaimed people in the city morgue and I'd bury them in expensive oak caskets.
I'd continue to support United Way only way way more.
I'd make sure my elderly parents could stay in their home with dignity.
I'd disappear for awhile in order to avoid scary people who'd try to lay claim to me.
And...I'd build my own strip and race C2 and let him win.

10. Stop by work and start off by saying "Hi Dough-head..let me speak to Sh(*)t for Brains"! 9. Buy a super secure Condo unit in a High Rise Apartment somewhere in d/t Calgary. 8. Purchase a hanger at Springbank Airport. One that holds a Pilatis PC12 turbo-prop, an Aston Martin DBS, a Prevost H3-45 Custom Converted Marathon Motorhome, my Daytona Truck, and my GOAT. 7. Take my GOAT to Classic Performance for a complete resto (I'll be too busy travelling). 6. Put The Cave up for rent at a resonable price to someone who needs a little help. Comes with a used Vibe. 5. Give enough money to the Girl Friend so she can overhaul her 1912 house she loves, quit her thankless job, and travel with me and/or her girl friends to all the places she has wanted to go. 4. Start ordering my Prevost Motorhome, my Pilatis PC12, a CTS-V for a winter beater and my Aston Martin. 3. Join a Gym and a flying school (to get current again). 2. Start growing a beard so no one recognizes me on the street. 1. Give enough money to the Folks to make them comfortable as possible and apologize as I won't be seeing them for the next while, I'm travelling!
Not that I've ever given the "winning a lottery" concept any thought
well a little to each of mine and the wifes brothers and sisters. This should polish off a couple million A couple million in trust to my 2 kids. And at 49 years old, a 3 to 5 million will do the wife and I quite nicely the rest of our lives. Cars, homes etc. Vacations a lot as I would obviously inform my boss that he can stick the job where the sun don't shine. Oh, and build a drag strip :) To help balance the taxes, an X amount would be going to charities yearly.

Make sure family are taken care of and enjoy living in financial security. Splurge on vacation with my wife and a classic car for me. Perhaps move and have a huge garage!
