Apparently it was a construction worker who lives in Airdre according to someone I work with. Apparently some guy that is a friend of a friend for what its worth.

I wonder how much lotto ticket purchases in calgary go up the next couple months because of this?? All the people thinking they could have won if they had just purchased a ticket.

Oh good, one less person on the commute. That should drop time down to 19.53 minutes.

Anyone have a friend of a friend that knows calgary's newest multi millionaire?

The wife used to work at my firm. She's really nice, and now really rich!

The lottery always seems to be wasted on those without an imagination. With his winnings, the guy's says he's gonna get some tattoos and a truck to match his Harley. Talk about wasted opportunity.

I like seeing people go balls out with their winnings and do something outlandish... that's why you dream about winning the lottery, so you can go nuts! Take a Virgin Galactic trip into space. Buy a Veyron. Turn into Hank Scorpio. But please don't be boring. What you do with your money is the one thing us non-winners have to be entertained by.

If I won 30-million, I would build a a bar called "CP Central" that would come complete with a hockey rink, driving range, paint-ball course, go-kart track, and a centralized location in the lounge for the (ridiculously hot) waitresses to mud wrestle like professionals. I would form a micro-brewery to make an exclusive, patented version of both "Heroine Beer" and "Kool-Aid."

I would then marry a deaf/mute nymphomaniac gymnast who owns a golf course.

And I would buy-out Comeau's contract.

Crazy, my first glance at the article was that I knew the wife. She WAS at the law firm (Davis) that I deal with for my company and have met her a lot of the years before meeting with my lawyer. Saw her earlier in February. Super friendly and always helpful with all our legal work. Really happy for her and her husband. They sound like down to earth folks that will manage this well. Davis will miss her for sure.

now comes the phone calls from someone claiming he/she is their long lost relative, or old friend who they haven't seen since they were 5 years old and so on.. I can just think of someone calling the guy saying 'hey buddy, i used to bully you when we were in elementary and high school.. so do you mind if i ask you for one hundred thou so i can pay off my debt?'.

That's the whole reason you go on a loooong trip around the world.... we're talking months here. By the time you get home only the most persistent people would still be looking for handouts.

And that's when you hire someone to break knee caps.
