Or he could just be a good person and share the wealth. This is the problem with money, greed takes over.

Definately. Second home in the mountains, any where else I go would be hotels/condo rentals.

I would split my time between Calgary and Seoul with a whole lot of Thailand thrown in as well.

I don't think I could ever fully move away from Calgary... especially with $50 million making it that much easier to have multiple 'home bases' around the world.

Also I don't check my ticket right away because secretly I like to prolong the fantasy of winning.

Pylon's a very opinionated guy, he seems to think less of lots of people for very minor, insignificant things.

I think I'd spend the first two years of my wealthy lifestyle by living a month in each time zone.

Hahaha. People laugh at me for doing that. Glad I'm not the only one.

I have a buddy who plays 6/49 and Lottomax and he will check all three of his tickets Monday before work in hopes he can just not show up.

Hm, I should pick one up. I am ok with wagering $5 or so every once in a while on the very long odds of a huge return.

No. That jackpot would reach a billion dollars by the time it hit.

I only play the big ones (ie, the max of $50mil), go big or don't play. With $50 million I'd move to Europe or Australia. Somewhere where I wouldn't need to worry about s*** roads so I could just buy all my cars and drive all the time.

I'd use the rest and buy multiple houses, put away for retirement, and invest the rest in a company or two I'd like to start.

Kind of a waste of money no? You aren't improving your odds. You just need one ticket.

Wrong!

Instead of a 1: 28,633,528 now have a 1: 28,633,528 20 times!


Or something like that.

Better yet, just keep it in your pocket so that you don't need to pay one of those generic ATMs $2 in the event there's no BMO ATM around.
