I love all the optimism and hope in this thread.
Apparently when you win the lottery, every person you met in your life will contact you at some point to be "friends" in hopes you'll pay off their mortgage. Also charities constantly bombard you for donations.
Is there a way for BCLC not to take a photo of you if you win?

Give 20~40% to parents...
I'd use it to open my dream business... A race track closer than Mission with no expenses spared. Probably in Richmond or Burnaby.. maybe surrey... Then have a garage shop right next to it to fix up peoples cars for cheap..
Let all my friends race there for free LOL
Yes, I'm going to be broke!!

| probably not. my uncle used to own a corner store. people that win are required to have their picture taken and their name posted. also, the store where the winning ticket was bought is required to put up the picture of the winner. but, that doesn't mean you cant dress up like its halloween when you go claim your prize.

^^ good idea.
personally, i wouldnt worry about unknown friends and distant families being so friendly all of a sudden. just ignore them and enjoy your newly acquired wealth. they can't force you to pay their mortgage, debts, and shit.

Example was the guy who hired a hitman to kill his brother because he won the lottery in hopes to inherit the winnings.
Money is evil !

| Apparently they are looking into it. In Ontario, if your winnings exceed $5million, you can remain anonymous.
