  That’s just loonie tunes
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.
