This happened in Ontario a number of times. The Lottery Commission was obliged to implement new rules to eliminate vendors buying tickets from own stores among other restrictions.

It would depend on how much I won. In £ if it was £2M or less then I would probably stay in Atlantic Canada with a flat in Bournemouth and LA area. I would carry on working in my current job and as I said on another thread when I get to about 50 open my own Bistro.

£2-5M then stay in Atlantic Canada but quit current job open Bistro and Wine bar. Flats in Bournemouth, LA area, Berlin, Lisbon and maybe Malaysia.

£5m + Then not sure but would not stay here !

All of the above I would have a modest boat

Yes, I'd stay here, I've made my bed and whilst it's occasionally uncomfortable it's mine! Even if not for ever. I'd love an injection of cash that would enable me to visit more of Canada, as inter Canadian travel is so very prohibitive...I've been to a few bits but I'd love to see more.

Talking of made beds. If i were wealthy i would have freshly laundered sheets every day and i wouldn't be the person making the bed.

I'd have one of those posh alarm clocks that has the tea ready for you when you wake up as HID is North American and can never be bothered.

That's out of order. I hope she at least has breakfast cooked on time.

I have always had one of those, but as I have three cats and a dog, the blasted thing starts brewing when it should, but the animals all stand to attention well in advance! I have given up now and have got a better husband!

Look I'm a women's libber as much as the next bloke so breakfast is not that much of an issue but it wouldn't hurt her to spend five less minutes fannying around with her hair and make-up in the morning to make a nice cup of tea.
