Father buys winning $1 million lottery ticket while wife waits in hospital with newbornReply
I wonder if $100 scratch offs are common place in Canada. In the US, Texas is the only state that sells $100 scratch offs.

$50 million Lotto Max winner refuses to leave job, says company would suffer without himReply
Once again. Even in Canada you could borrow against your future deposit especially in your own bank. They would not want to lose you as a customer for sure. Probably charge you 0.0001% interest. Even the lottery will give you some to tide you over until it clears. Of course it is subtracted from your winnings. You are safe to quit your job immediately if you win 50 million that is for sure.

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
With a medical emergency, checking lottery tickets takes low priority. There was a large number of excess deaths in 2023 in the US, so that increases the odds that the lost prize was due to medical issues. A high number of excess deaths in 2023 also occurred in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the UK , and other countries.

$50 million Lotto Max winner refuses to leave job, says company would suffer without himReply
I don't know how the jackpots are paid up there in canada, but if you win the powerball or mega millions here there are 8 to 10 weeks of processing before you see a cent. I would stay working until the money hit the bank and could be accessed.

Friends gift Alberta lottery winner reading glasses after he nearly misses $5M winNews Story
You can bet that Norman Stretch won't be losing his reading glasses again anytime soon especially after he nearly mistook his Canada Lotto 6/49 $5 million win for a $5,000 one. I thought I'd won $5,000 because I couldn't find my reading glasses, said Stretch. I called my friend to show him, and he said, 'Check again with your glasses on, dummy!' After putting on his glasses, Stretch realized he had actually won $5,000,0004 as part of the April 13 Lotto 6/49 draw. The central Alberta win

Virginia Lottery retailers escalate boycott, halt ALL lottery ticket sales until further noticeReply
IMHO this certainly does not hurt the Virginia lottery very much. Folks can register to play on-line if they so choose. I find it amazing in my simple mind that just crossing the Ohio river into Indiana smartphone technology knows you left Kentucky and cannot play on line. Just like when we cross the Ambassador Bridge into Canada, the phone automatically switches to my beloved Metric system from the antiquated Imperial system. Anybody that knows me can attest to my love of the Metric system.

$1.25 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
I got lucky. I found a pool buying tickets for the Friday Mega Millions draw that let me join. Now I am really looking forward to the draw. We never have jackpots this large in Canada. On the other hand, even though our jackpots are smaller, we get to keep all the money - no taxes on lottery wins.
