  And a whole lotta of them!
context: Congrats on winning life. We don't pay taxes on it either so she gets the whole thing. >
  
  Keep 5 million for herself.   $43M in an index fund with monthly dividends would give her a guaranteed  $125k per month after capital gains taxes at a guaranteed and secure 3.75%. (Post management fees)
  This ensures she does not mismanage her money and more importantly locks her funds away from moochers. >
  
  Do you really think she could live on 125k/month? She might need to get a part-time job just to be safe. >
  
  Lol.   I figured a half million extra a year to be safe… you never know with how grocery prices are trending. >
  
  At 125k per month, that's over a million per year. Unless you are taking 50% off for taxes each year, which seems high. >
  
  43M at 3.75% is 1.6M per year.   
  Actual verifiable rates of return here in Canada are between 3.9 and 4.4% on an monthly dividend paying fund.
  I posted a very conservative return after taxes and fees because the actual returns on that size of an investment is ridiculous. >
  
  Hope she lives a good life and has good people around her. >
  
  Hope she abandons gambling immediately. >
  
  lol ... but she could win a billion if she invested that $48m into the lottery ... think about it. >
  
  “Invest” and “Lottery” should never be used in the same sentence. >
  
  I'm gonna invest. In a lottery.
  Better? >
  
  That’s two sentences >
  
  That was the point >
  
  This is not two sentences either >
  
  Never buy another ticket and keep the 100% win rate.  Probably only person in history. >
  
  There was a girl who won Grande Vie a few years ago from a ticket given to her as a gift on her 18th birthday in Quebec. She didn’t even buy the ticket. >
  
  I would love to know the reaction of the person who bought the ticket for her. Not enough to google the story of course, I'm no animal, but it sure would be interesting to know. >
  
  Sometimes they sue the winner. >
  
  First try?? That’s so lucky she should try buying a lottery ticket >
  
  $48,000,000? That’s 48,000,000 lottery tickets! >
  
  Powerball is 700 million. Turn that 48M into 700 million (before taxes) >
  
  Again, Canadians don't pay tax on lottery winnings. >
  
  Her father is a financial advisor. She wants to study medicine and eventually come back to her First Nations community to provide medical care. 
  Couldn’t have happened to a better person. Good for her. >
  
  Someone search for a Grey’s Almanac. >
  
  That’s just loonie tunes >
  
  And a whole lotta of them! >
  
  What a prodigy. I can't wait to see how many more lotteries she will will in the future. >
  
  Ken m? >
  
  That’s how I expected it to go for me too. Spoiler, I have to get to work >
  
  
  "Money doesn't define you," she said. "It's the work you do that will define you."
  
  She's definitely Canadian don'tu say? >
  
  She’s already giving out advice about money and she only just got it. Next she will say money doesn’t buy happiness 🤣 >
  
  As a wise person once said, "Money doesn't buy happiness..... but it can help research it". >
  
  This is the kind of thing you read, get really fucking mad, then realize the universe just hates you and only you and there is nothing you can do about it so you sit there sad and accept it. >
  
  It’s okay, it hates all of us and only all of us 🤣 >
  
  Dang. Can’t imagine. Nor can I imagine continuing school or work. Respect to her. >
  
  She’s planning to go to med school and help out her First Nations community when she becomes a doctor >
  
  Respect to that. I’d be building my barn and continuing my hobbies. And golfing when bored. >
  
  She got ChatGPT to write the numbers for her. >
  
  doesn't work, i tried it - took a while to get the thing to stop telling me that it's gambling though and to cough up the numbers. >
  
  That’s quite funny. Thanks for sharing that 😀 >
  
  What a terrible precedent! Hope she never discovers gambling after that one! Lol >
  
  Anyone knows how you claim this short of thing? Like if you win, you don't just go back to the grocery store you bought it at, right? Do you have to call them directly or something? >
  
  You can call them or go to the lotto store and they will call a lotto rep for you. You have to go to one of the lotto main branches to claim , where they will verify your win and then we’ll take your photo and interview you about your win. >
  
  Would you have to be pictured with it? What if you wanted to stay anonymous as to not let people around you know? >
  
  You can apply to remain anonymous but it is only granted in specific and rare cases.
  
  Can a winner remain anonymous?
  We consider requests for anonymity on a case by case basis, but the exceptions are rare.
  BCLC’s role is to ensure that above all else, the integrity of the lottery system is upheld. In addition to conducting a thorough prize claim verification process, one of the most important ways in which we accomplish this is by publicizing winners.
  
  I think it is only considered if revealing the winner is a danger to the winner like a domestic violence victim, or someone that has a no contact order etc. >
  
  
  "It's the work you do that will define you."
  
  Screw that, I would donate some portion to charity and live easy off the investments. >
  
  I hope she never buys another ticket >
  
  Seems like it's a terrible idea to tell the public you won the lottery. She's gonna be chased by grifters. >
  
  It's the law in Canada, have to publish the winner. >
  
  Dead or broke within 6 years.
  At least I would have been at that age. >
  
  Dad's a financial planner, so she has hope 🙏 >
  
  Odds of dad stealing the money is not insignificant. Winning the lotto brings out a worst in people it can be hard to imagine at times. >
  
  I thought of this as well. The dad is in finances. He can find a way to snatch it. Money does make people monsters. Someone will always fuck over their friends and family for money. Either the ones with it, or the ones who want it.
  Money brings out the worst nature in humans. Perhaps their real nature. >
  
  You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain..." >
  
  I'm so jealous....lucky she never needs to struggle financially ever again >
  
  Man, I wish that happened to me several years ago. >
  
  It’s almost as if lotteries are entirely random! >
  
  And people told her shes more likely to be struck by lightning, lookat her now! >
  
  "Canadian teen struck by lightning shortly after winning lottery"
  "A Canadian teen has been struck by lightning shortly after winning the lottery. Local man u/Pazoll said 'this was always going to happen - she was more likely to have been struck by lightning, so once she won the lottery it was guaranteed.
  This claim was branded 'statistically fallacious' by Professor Di Sroll from the University of Cardiff." >
  
  you only need what you need to make it by (attention is like a tax) >
  
  Fuck her. All my homies hate Canadian Teen >
  
  Juliette said she will "carefully" invest the majority of the jackpot with the help of her money manager father.
  And there it is. >
  
  Thanks for letting us know you just stopped when your opinion was validated and didn’t read the very next sentence! >
  
  I bet it is her last time playing, too. >
  
  Too much for one person. There should be more winners per pot. >
  
  Equivalent of using a cheat code for max money while still in the lead in. >
  
  Beginners luck. I bet she can’t do that twice ! >
  
  Put half of it in VOO ETF stocks and enjoy life mah lady >
  
  Finally, she can afford Toronto rent! >
  
  Now she can afford a one bedroom apartment in Toronto! >
  
  Are there any regions of Canada with warmer weather? I'd love to apply for asylum there but I already live in a cold ass place and can't handle it anymore >
  
  "First Try"...
  LOL - does winning a lottery usually require practice? >
  
  enough to afford 1 townhouse in Toronto >
  
  See guys, life it’s fair. >
  
  "first try" - a unique qualifier for a person who doesn't understand probability >
  
  It was her first try literally. In Canada you have to be 18 to buy a lottery ticket. She had just turned 18 and bought her first lottery ticket. >
  
  Let's do follow up in 10 years lolololol. Will she still have millions left or be bankrupt. >
  
  Sounds like a fix. Check if his uncle is with the mob and you’ll get your answer. >
  
  I am so happy for her boyfriend >
  
  Yeah and in the US as well…. >
