I know Paul, and I have to say that this could not have happened to a nicer person. He deserves this win, and I hope this makes things easier on him finally. As for Dustin, the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. You are a great guy, just like your dad. You guys will work this out, and if you just need to chat Dustin, feel free to send me a message. Congratulations, Paul.

there is admittedly some rough water there, i have been on my own for about 18 months now, and we are rekindling our relationship, before this. i called him the day i found out (yesterday) and just thought i would put it on here aswell, this being the only one of their stories with a link, and i am currently at work.

aswell, as i said, i had an alterior motive, more for the posters then to them, given that i did call, and that being i wanted the video.

Well if this is his son, are you not speaking to your parents? Why not send them congrats to them in person. It seems odd that you would give them a message on a forum (which they might not read) instead of in person.

Paul Jaques thought a car crash 21 years ago made a big change in his life after it permanently injured his back.

Now, it has taken a backseat to a winning, $5 million Super 7 ticket.

We were going to stop him from going to physiotherapy because we couldn't afford it anymore, Jaques' wife, Cheryl, said at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.'s prize centre yesterday.

And now, they won't have to stop.
