I plugged in $2.5MM (assuming they keep some of the winnings to put towards life, sharing, etc..); $8500/yr added for OAS after age 65; assuming $zero CPP; MER of ~1% on investments. The result is easily pulling $125k/yr for 50 years... so yes most definitely there's generational wealth.

So this assumes they don't do something stupid like put money into GIC's, choose bad financial planning; chase something trendy, don't make trades too often or chase returns or nervously move money in/out/in/out/in/etc... of the markets repeatedly selling low and buying high...


Average Canadian after-tax monthly retiree income is as per following article. Was higher than I expected:
