It can happen to anybody who has a luck. Lotto Max has 41 mill for tonite if you have a luck. Just 5 buck you can be a mill guy.

Don't worry lottery winnings are not taxable income in Canada.

sick, didnt know that! but still feel sorry for this guy! hes barely got teeth and they still stealing his money! its like winning $1 million in vegas but you only get like $300,000 cuz you get taxed by the state, US government, and when you cross the border!

Difference is, they tax a lottery winning of $258 mil, up here our high lotteries are like $41 mil. So I'd still much rather win what he won.

If he take the jackpot in 30 payments over 29 years (interest) or the lump-sum amount of $124,875,122. I think they already deduct the tax and minus the interest for over 29 yrs.

To be honest, I can't see myself getting pissed at "only" getting $120 million
