Lotto fever.

Probably cheaper to rent one as needed.

I can think of lots of toys to buy.

Question is - will Mrs S give you permission.

She has to find me first...

^^^ you have to find the ticket. Oh wait, you buy online so she'll call BCLC and let them know the ticket is jointly owned.

She has no access to the online account so unless I start screaming "WE WON" (Which is a distinct possibility) she will never know.

I suspect she will be joining me on the trip to Kamloops and the following Cruise in a luxury suite.

Kamloops and Vancouver offices are temporarily closed. Looks like it'll be a video conference after all the hoops you'll have to jump through to prove you're the actual winner.

[alanjh595]

Not if you buy on-line.

[Bsuds]

Is it possible to give the unsigned winning ticket to someone else- as in a out of province family member?

They might have to prove they were in BC when they bought it. Could be a hassle.

Just give it to me and that will solve the dilemma.

No winners ...
Tuesday's Jackpot
$70 Million EST.
70 MAXMILLIONS

There were 11 Maxmillions winners in BC - 9 single ticket holders get $1M and 2 shared ticket holders get $500K

Yay - I won a whole $1!!! (and $20 last week)

When I buy a ticket on Playnow, I never print it off, because I love getting that email from BCLC saying "you have won a prize on Playnow.com", the anticipation of logging in to see what that prize is. I wonder if you still get the email if it's a BIG prize. I'll probably never know.

Well, if anything , I'm helping to keep the pulp and paper industry thriving...

Yup

Yup

So if I won $70 million would they put it in my Playnow account, same as they do with the $1?

PS - checked the winners list before I logged in and saw that a couple of the $1 million prizes were won on Playnow, that gave me a glimmer of hope

[Bsuds]

Not sure with the grand prize but when we won $5000 it was in the account.

Had to jump through a couple of minor hoops to transfer it to my Bank account.

You'd have to check with BCLC. Not sure how they would pay if you won the jackpot online but this is on their web site ...

Only claims greater than $25 Million will be paid via wire transfer.

ETA - just remembered a conversation with a lady at one of the lottery kiosks when there was a huge jackpot winner on PlayNow. They are vetted like everyone else before getting their money but she wasn't sure how the funds were paid out.
