BIG TIME LOTTO WINNER

Chances are you already read about this Manitoba guy who won the lottery 11 months ago. But in case you didn't, it's a must hear situation. I bought a ticket on that same jackpot---30 million dollars. 11 months ago. A guy from Manitoba won it , but didn't tell anyone and kept his ticket for 11 months and only turned it in with 9 days to spare before it expired. He is a 40 year bachelor and he farms and fixes computers. Now he says he will quit fixing computers but continue farming. The only luxuries he allowed himself in the 11 months was bought by maxing out his credit cards. In the meantime he lost 700 thousand dollars by not collecting interest on his 30 million. Think of the farm he could have bought himself for 700,000 if indeed farming is really how he wishes to spend his time. Think of all the good things he could have done with the money if he didn't want to spend it on himself. That guy is an idiot and didn't deserve to win. I begrudge him my two dollar share of that fortune.
