Subject to references of course. I don't take any old riffraff.
There are duplexes in Moncton? I thought it was all mansions and tree lined luxury lots, scrub that then, Oak ill it is.

For a day trip anyway

In reality, if we did win we would move to a Ajax lake fronted property and build up many many air miles for years to come.

I suppose it depends on how much the lotto win would be. I think we would buy a plot of land and build our own place in BC. Then get a few smaller places dotted round the world and rack up the air miles

Now that does sound like a plan I could get used to.

A cottage in the Yorkshire dales, maybe around Goathland and a new build on our acreage 6 miles down the road here in Manitoba. We are getting the new build in the next couple of years anyway . Plus a block booking for 6 weeks per year in a penthouse at the Hyatt Regency on the Hudson in New Jersey.

I would do exactly the same here. Buy another couple of acres next to our land, and build a barn, have some animals and grow some veg. In the future probably extend the house because if I won the lottery I'd defo have more kids

Brilliant! I'd really got my eye on a Focus Ghia but I didn't want it to seem like I was coming across as too aspirational.

Such a shame Capris are not made any more. I see you in one of those, lime green with customised flared arches.

Probably Ft Mac, with that kind of money I could just afford to buy a house there, plus I hear its a great place to raise kids.

If that didn't work out then Santa Cruz California
