Now, I know winning the big one is the same as driving from Saskatoon to Terra del Fuego at the tip of South America past fence posts spaced 1m apart, stopping for a little relief along the way, and discovering the one post out of the 13 983 816 posts that has a secret message on it just for you!

But it's fun to dream!

Think I'd take the mis'ss out to Lacombe this summer for a day of golf! My treat. They have great greens!

What would you do?

Nothing for the first year...as tempting as it might be. I think that if you didn't take the time to get your poop in a group and make some serious plans, you would probably get real stupid.

You know that I have a grand child in a wheel chair so - he's first in line. Like he would get speech therapy more than one half hour a week for example and a private tutor for other things. But - not just him - I would do similar things for kids like him. No one in my family would have a single debt. My whole family that is and no - it does not necessarily include each distant cousin. More than anything I hope for two things I guess. Sharing and sensibility. Maybe we would join you and the missus for a round or two. Our treat. :lol:

Friends of my father-in-law won a million about 20 years ago. Big money then. They went and took a course on money mngt. before they spent any. How long do you think you could keep it secret?

I'd make sure one million is secure for posterity.

I misread some of the numbers. When the smoke cleared I only had one number on the extra.

I could keep it secret until they splashed my name and picture all over the local paper and the store I bought the ticket in.

I'd probably rent a place on the other side of town for a month until it was reasonable to think that no one nationally would remember me...then I'd move to the west coast and live out my life.
