Congratulation to Ronald Cumiskey on winning the jackpot in the British Columbia Lottery

Lotto 6/49 game. Telling his boss I'm retiring sound great. I wish him the best of luck.

Retiring at 60 with $24 million Canadian. There are so many just like him hoping to hit.

I hope that he enjoys Oahu and all of Hawaii.

British Columbia on the West Coast of North America has been lucky three times for Canadians who play there.

In any case, congratulations on your big, tax free win.

One benefit I have is that I don't have very many real friends. Maybe one or two. My wife, she has quite a few. If I won, we would have to have a serious conversation about keeping secrets. LOL.
