“I really needed to see the money in my bank before I can really believe it and determine what I will do with the winnings,” he said in a news release. Roussel heard that someone in his village on the Acadian Peninsula had won the big million dollar prize, when his wife got a call from a friend asking if she knew who it was. The unexpected winner went to his local store to get his ticket checked, and found out he was THE Le Goulet’s big winner.

Then he went straight to his son’s house to share the news. Roussel says his five children are also in the lobster fishery and one of his sons couldn’t believe he was a winner. “I walked in and said to my son that I was going to buy myself a brand new truck and pay for it in cash because he could,” Roussel said. “He didn’t believe me, so I told him it was because I had won $1M.” He really thought i was making it up,’  he said to me. Show me the ticket, so his dad did, he took the ticket and he went on the computer to check the numbers for himself.”

Roussel is the 2nd biggest fisherman winner of the Lotto 6/49. In early August, another retired fisherman from the same village won $666,380 while playing Lotto 6/49.

Fortin explained she didn’t pick her usual numbers. Instead, they were automatically generated. “I picked the ticket at the right moment,” she said of her lucky win. Fortin’s over $15M share is only half of the total jackpot. The other half was collected by a winner in another province.

“I’m very happy, you can’t not be happy with that kind of amazing win,” she said.  “Even when I would win $20 I was happy — we aren’t too difficult to please.” Happy Fortin admitted to already having splurged a bit. “I made a big first purchase,” she laughed. “I went to buy myself a new pair of glasses.” Liliane said she and her husband didn’t quite know, the newly minted multimillionaire says she wants to wait a little before making any plans on how she’ll spend the money.

“We’ll take the time to dream,” she said. “But now maybe our dreams can come true.” but spoiling her children, landscaping her home, and travelling to Europe once circumstances allow are in her plans.

She goes on to say that Loto-Québec held a virtual media conference, which the winner was interviewed from the comfort of her home, so that members of the media could meet her.

Good things come to those that wait, right? At least that’s what one Canadian man proved as he played the same lottery numbers for almost 30 years. He finally hit the jackpot in 2018.

Bon Truong is from Edmonton, Alberta. He claims he predicted the win of $60 million on October 26, 2018, Lotto Max jackpot the morning after the numbers were drawn. Truong’s $60 million jackpot win is tied as the largest-ever Lotto Max winner in Alberta’s history. A couple won $60 million back in September 2017.

Rather than claiming his prize immediately, he waited almost 10 months later because “he felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of his win”.

As soon as he saw the winning numbers, Truong went to the store and had the clerk print them. Additionally, he took the numbers home and double-checked them for hours.

A Canadian janitor, Vito Halasan, has become a millionaire with British Columbia Lottery after winning $7 million CAD. However, the man does not wish to leave his job of sweeping floors!

Just a few days after celebrating his 58th birthday, Vito Halasan matched all six numbers to win the jackpot from the April 27 lottery draw.

Mr. Halasan talks about how he struggles with his vision and thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. “I have really blurry vision, so I had to hold the ticket right up to my face,” Halasan said in a release. “I couldn’t believe it.

His daughter didn’t believe him and had to see for herself. “We had to check online several times,” she said. He called her in a panic after realizing what had happened. “He sat me down at the table,” his daughter said. “And then he whispered really quietly to me that he won $7 million [in Canadian dollars].”

Halasan’s family moved to Canada from the Philippines in 2009. Now, he says he can provide the life he has dreamed of for his three children and four grandchildren. He plans to buy them their dream house that they’ve always wanted.

Neighbors of lottery winners have a higher probability of bankruptcy owing to increased conspicuous consumption, financial risk-taking, and borrowing. This is according to researchers at the University of Alberta in Canada and Georgetown University in the US.

“Using lottery winnings as plausibly exogenous variations in the relative income of peers, we find that the dollar magnitude of a lottery win of one neighbor increases subsequent borrowing and bankruptcies among other neighbors,” a paper detailing the research states.

Lottery Neighbors Trying To Keep Up

The paper references the idiom ‘keeping up with the Joneses’. For example, people attempt to match the high spending of their peers in order to not appear socially or culturally inferior.

The researchers studied data of 7,337 lottery winners and bankruptcy filers in an unnamed Canadian province between 2004 and 2014. The study focussed on winnings lower than C$150,00, as larger winners tended to move away to more prosperous neighborhoods.

Their findings concluded that the larger the lottery winnings of one individual in a small neighborhood, the more subsequent bankruptcies there would be amongst individuals in that neighborhood.

This was due to the neighbors of lottery winners increasing their spending on items visible to their wealthy neighbors. This includes items like cars and housing renovations. An earlier version of the study found that spending did not increase on non-visible items, like furniture.

“We also found that borrowing in the entire neighborhood increases with amounts,” the paper adds. “These findings are consistent with additional risk-taking and debt accumulation to finance conspicuous consumption. This leads to financial difficulties and bankruptcy for nonwinning peers.”

The researchers suggest the study could prompt further research into whether wealth inequality in the broader economy could lead to the kind of financial distress that precipitates financial crises, such as those that occurred in 1929 and 2008.

The 31 winners all worked together at a refinery in the appropriately named town Come By Chance. The tiny town has a population of just 228, located in the easterly province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

A father and son, twin brothers and a married couple are members of the winning group. The town of Avondale, population 600, has eight new millionaires – three of them on the same street.

The group, who are also members of the same trade union and have been buying tickets together for three months, will split one of the largest jackpots in Canadian history, each receiving C$1.9m (£1m).

“We throw in $5 each, so we had $155 worth of tickets,” said Sherry Moore Hickey. She purchased the group’s winning ticket from a petrol station.

Lottery Saves Family Home

Imagine your family home being completely destroyed and losing all of your precious belongings. This is what happened to Ben Pendergast and his family during the Alberta wildfires in May 2016.

Bill Pendergast has spent the last two years rebuilding his home. The house burnt down when a wildfire raged through Fort McMurray, Alberta. Now, he is $1 million richer and able to finish restoring his family home thanks to the Atlantic Lotto.

Pendergast, 50, bought the $3 Lotto 6/49 ticket earlier this month when he stopped at the local convenience store in Newfoundland and Labrador on the way to visit his ill father.

“Dad called and asked me to stop on my way back to the hospital and pick him up a cold 7-Up,” said Pendergast in a statement from the Atlantic Lottery.

He didn’t think much about the ticket he bought until the next day when he was awakened by his aunt, who was in a frenzy.

“‘Bill, did you buy a lottery ticket? Someone won a million dollars’ she told me,” he said.

He pulled out his lottery ticket, checked his numbers against the winning numbers on his phone and couldn’t believe what he saw.

“I called my wife, Carrie, in Fort McMurray and she booked a flight immediately,” Pendergast said. “This is all like a dream.”

Pendergast plans on finishing rebuilding his home and furnishing it, but he does want one special gift.

“I have always wanted a Mustang, and I will finally have one, I’m 100% sure of that.”

Twenty-three drawings rolled over before Missler’s ticket lined up perfectly with all five numbers plus the Mega Millions ball in the January 5 drawing.

Missler declined to pose for photos or conduct an interview, but he hinted at his plans for the money in a statement provided by the Florida lottery.

Mega Millions winner wants to ‘do some good for humanity’

“I’m only 20, but I hope to use it to pursue a variety of passions, help my family and do some good for humanity,” he said.

The statement also says Missler “wasn’t really surprised” when he realized he landed the jackpot. He had “a feeling” he would get lucky.

He told his brother immediately. “Then, he shared the news with his father over coffee the next morning,”.

The $450 million prize marked the fourth-largest in Mega Millions history and the 11th-largest jackpot in U.S. history.

Missler, however, won’t receive the full amount. Lottery winners only receive the jackpot’s advertised amount if they choose to accept the prize via a 30-year annuity.

Young but financially clever

Like most winners, Missler chose to accept his winnings in a lump sum. That meant his prize totalled $281,874,999. Financial advisers typically recommend accepting the lump sum. If the money is wisely invested, the returns can amount to a much larger payout over the years.

And Missler accepted his prize money through an LLC — named Secret 007, a lottery spokesperson confirmed to CNNMoney.

Public records show the LLC was established on January 10, so it’s likely Missler set up the firm to accept his lottery winnings.

That’s smart financial planning, says Florida financial adviser Mari Adam. “Any decent attorney would probably encourage someone who is about to receive that much money to do some estate planning.”

Setting up an LLC can help “protect what he has from frivolous lawsuits”.

Special EuroMillions Event

Special EuroMillions events take place from time to time to mark exciting occasions. The UK National Lottery has decided to offer more prizes of £1 million in the Millionaire Maker this Friday to celebrate the final draw of 2017.

Usually, there are two prizes of £1 million in standard Millionaire Maker draws. However, on Friday, ten winning codes will be selected at random. A ticket holder doesn’t need to play differently – a code will be generated for every EuroMillions line played and will automatically be entered into the Millionaire Maker.

If you match one of the ten winning codes drawn on Friday, you will have 180 days to claim your money. Online players will be automatically notified of any prizes they win. Furthermore, anyone who plays through a retailer must check their ticket and then contact National Lottery officials.

A Magical Year

Any big winners tonight can look forward to a fantastic 2018 and possibly beyond. They will receive enough money to provide financial security for loved ones and splash out on wonderful new items.

It has certainly been a year to remember for players across Europe, with millions of prizes given away. There have been 21 jackpot winners so far, including three lucky players who have scooped more than £100 million. However, the biggest winner of 2017 was a Spanish ticket holder who equaled the record for the largest EuroMillions jackpot. They pocketed €190 million on Friday 6th October.

You can try to become the 22nd jackpot winner of the year. Buy a ticket from an authorized retailer in one of the nine participating countries or choosing EuroMillions numbers online. Good luck!

Lottery Winnings Used To Do Good!

Rachel Lapierre, a former Miss Quebec, set up a charity with her lottery winnings back in 2013.

The Canadian always loved volunteering, and after running her own modelling agency and working as a nurse, she was looking for a way to follow her idol, Mother Theresa, and dedicate her life to charity.

Then fate came knocking when she won a lifetime salary of C$1,000 (£605) a week in the Quebecois lottery “Gagnant à vie”, or “winner for life”.

At first I couldn’t believe it, but I didn’t celebrate or shout it from the rooftop because I had made a promise to the universe and I was determined to keep it.

“I wanted to do something I loved for the rest of my life. I wanted to help others,” she says.

It took Ms Lapierre only two months to quit her nursing job and launch her own charity, Le Book Humanitaire.

Her non-profit organisation, which is located in Saint-Jerome, about 60km north-west of Montreal, uses social media to connect those in need with people who can help.

On its Facebook page, which has 22,000 followers, those who are struggling can let the community know about their plight.

At the same time, members of the public can advertise services or goods they want to donate.

“Let’s say that you have clothes to give away. We will put you in contact with a family that needs those clothes and will allow you to go give them yourself,” Ms Lapierre explains.

“It’s not only about material things. You might end up driving a cancer patient to a doctor’s appointment.”

Her modelling career inspired her to set up her own modelling school in 1984, to teach young women how to build careers in the industry. It had about 10 staff.

“Running my own business taught me about accounting and how to manage employees,” Ms Lapierre says.

She closed the business in the late 1980s to focus on bringing up her four children but also dedicated herself to voluntary work – making numerous trips with humanitarian organisations to places like India and Haiti.

It was this passion that led her to set up Le Book Humanitaire four years ago.

This year, the charity has made 15,000 “direct actions” in Quebec, ranging from furnishing an apartment for a family of Syrian refugees, to finding a home for a homeless mother who had just given birth.

She has also funded the organisation – which has 10 full-time volunteers and its own board – entirely by herself, investing $70,000 to date.

“This weekly C$1,000 I get from the lottery allows me to not go to work anymore and finance my organisation,” she says.

“I pay for things such as our office rent and other administrative costs.”

There are limits to Ms Lapierre’s budget, though. After she was interviewed by a popular Quebecois television station earlier this year, Le Book Humanitaire saw a huge increase in its Facebook followers, from around 4,000 to more than 20,000.

It led to an influx of requests for help, as well as donations, and the charity has struggled to keep up.
