Lamont, Alberta man winner of $50M lottery jackpot



A Lamont, Alta., man was announced Friday as the winner of the $50 million jackpot in the Jan. 16 Lotto Max draw.

Randall Rush, 48, learned he had won while buying food for his cat named Conway Kitty on Saturday.

He checked his ticket at the store and says he started screaming and hyperventilating.

Rush plans to buy himself a 1965 Corvette but also direct some of his winnings into a charity trust fund.
He nearly became homeless at 26 so he wants to give back.

"This is a tremendous amount of money," he told a news conference on Friday.

"I'm looking at this as a gift from God and it's a responsibility. And so I'm going to set up a trust fund and the interest that spins off this trust fund will go to feed hungry kids and homeless children around the world."

The winning ticket was purchased at the Lamont Grocery.

Awesome, one crappy old painting just went for $300M someplace in the EU so I hope he isn't planning on going that direction.

If you build a ring-road and no gas for your ride is is really worth the effort?
7 years isn't such a long time and the news is sure to get better in the future. Any double Sabbaths coming up, as in the year He was crucified? If revenge was part of His makeup I'd chalk that someplace so i didn't forget it.

The is always lots of chatter on the web during that time, I'm thinking this guy will probably be too busy doing other things to be bothered with a BBS type of 'news service' when UHF is vocal like a radio in the background.

I should get some sort of signature before firing up a pirate christian member compare **** to other **** in case **** hits the ****ing fan and **** goes everywhere. Be a bad day to have your plan unfolding and 'jou know who' is running His just off set by a margin that is an , 'Oh fuk'' moment instead of an 'See, flawless execution in full.', . . . . I thought the mic was supposed to be on for that part of the really big show.
Insert $5 for key.

Do you think the Forestry will let me hire some snipers to drop every animal in 'the zone' and camera it up so that becomes one of your available channels for the 'home page'
Little toys like 'lightening strike maps' that auto zoom cameras to the area every so often to check for smoke. The first one there would get some e-mail with a pic or whatever. Bush doesn't have to be primitive.

Rail and power is there so that might as well be used to the max. If society makes it the developed areas will see more people arriving and an elevated rail service for fast moving things gets you above the collision zone. Acreages along that whole route is wide open for development. For fun there is a straight stretch of track that is 10m long (rail drags, machine alone and a 1 mile run) and the 25 more until the next motorized recreation site would be acreage view sites as there is the Smoky River behind it. I'm quite sure today you could take 20 years and just scratch the surface of why people would be attracted to the area enough to cough up some big coin, and it's remoteness makes it an automatic hide out, making it worth more if the buyer is paranoid.

$50M today is retirement in some dying community in something with one bedroom an a cat to kill the rats. (if there were any)

He will need to leave Dodge. Locals become lunatics, like a Stephen King novel.

That's as far as I read without an inkling what this post is even about.

He can probably find a motel he can afford somewhere.:)

I could burn up up $50M just myself.
Step 1, hire the best lawyer/insurance team you can reasonably afford.
Step 2, Buy the machine below and with the money saved build some floating suitcases because swamp and fire work is involved. This model is light and when sinking the ftont goes down first to you can always back up. Hi-trackc have the back sink first. Once you do all the mods that make it bush worthy it still costs a few bucks and parts don't come cheap This model has 36" pads or on firm ground drop them for some narrow ones. You also need to transport it and park it while bringing in the service crews. It would be easy to add electronic grade control flat or any degree you wanted is flipping one switch and turning one dial.

My full reply to the OP was in that one line, the rest is what I would do if I won it. It wasn't really put there for you specifically.

Why bother? I'd just buy a condo overlooking a nude beach.:)

lol, win a lotto and viagra myself to death. Just my luck.
The above is also a dream, I can cover about 50 yards in the bush and I'm looking for a chair. That just means always have a road behind you. You have to be dead already not to enjoy doing something, let alone with no red tape to go through.
Chile was my location of choice when I decided to not go the RRSP route. Back then a pension would have paid the rent on a beach house and the bar is a block away and the coke is cheap. There are worse fates.

Just doing the math in connection with a different thread. If there are 37 members here and I won the money and gave each person $1M to never show up again would that be 'cheating'?
