A friend of a friend won $4M once with her b/f. They lived in Thunder Bay, and had to get to Toronto to claim it. Being broke ~21 year olds they borrowed $20 from each and every person they knew to get airfare. Got to TO on the Sunday night and had just enough for a middle class hotel and a pizza. Went to the lottery office on Monday, and to their horror they realized it was August 3rd and the office was closed for the holiday Monday.
At which point they called my friend, and asked if his rent cheque had cleared yet. It hadn't so he wired them the $400 that was in his bank so they could get another hotel. Apparently the entire time the $4M ticket stayed inside the guy's sock.
Anyways, time for me to check tonight's ticket!
