From bags to riches: 22-year-old Quebec grocery store worker wins $70-million Lotto Max jackpot.

The 22-year-old found out he won while he was at work, according to two people who work with him. He was crying and shaking, one of his co-workers said, adding that his father had to come pick him up because he wasn't in a state to drive home.

Hopefully this 22 year old seeks out wise & sound money management ideas and skills. Or like many big winners end up in a real mess.

Seems the kid knows what he's doing.

Mathieu, who hit all of the seven main numbers, said he plans to share the winnings with close relatives.

“There will be eight winners from the same family,” said Patrice Lavoie, the corporate director of public affairs at Loto‑Québec , according to CNN. “He shared it with seven family members.”

If I won that kind of money I would bankroll somebody with brains and ethics to turn this country around and make it for the people again

When you read the "rags to riches back to rags" stories it makes you wonder if early financial programming is in some DNA in some people.

Some just can't stand to be apart from their friends, so they lavish friends with cars and other presents, soon becoming less rich and more struggling, just like their friends.

I'd try it though. Sure thing, give it to meeeeee!

Lump sum wins come with jump that issue, daily grand at least comes with regular money for rest of ones life.

Lump sum wins come with jump that issue, daily grand at least comes with regular money for rest of ones life.

Daily Grand gives you choices ... you can opt to receive the $1,00/day for the rest of your life or take a lump sum payment if you want.

The top Daily Grand prize is $1,000 a day for rest of your life, or a lump sum cash payment of $7,000,000. The secondary prize is $25,000 a year for rest of your life, or a lump sum cash payment of $500,000

I guess you missed the part I said lump sum.
Payout is under 20 years of the prize (365,000 x 20 years = 7,300,000.... little more if calculate in leap years)

I may be enticed to buy a ticket if no one won it this time.

There is always that momentary rush when you get an e-mail...you've won a prize...only to check and only got a free play.

Wait a minute ....what? They send you a email? Is that on regular numbers?

I have an online account with Lotto BC where I purchase all my tickets. If I win anything they e-mail me and if it's money they deposit in my account. Larger amounts take a bit of doing to get the money (I won 5 grand once) but I rarely forget to buy a ticket. You can play your own numbers or take a quick pick.
