  Vancouver barely has winters. The snow melts as soon as it drops basically.
  48 mil there can only afford rent and not an actual home though /s
context: Congrats on winning life. We don't pay taxes on it either so she gets the whole thing. >
  
  She should reinvest the 48 million into more lottery tickets. Think how much more she could have at this rate of return! >
  
  It could be anything, it could even be 48M! >
  
  I’ll take the box! >
  
  What’s in the box?? >
  
  Maybe it's a red snapper... >
  
  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. >
  
  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. >
  
  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 >
  
  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) >
  
  The $700M is nothing… after take it now & federal taxes, it’s mere $233M. >
  
  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 >
  
  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. >
  
  I'm so jealous....lucky she never needs to struggle financially ever again >
  
  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 😀 >
  
  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. >
  
  Not to make you any more angry, but she lives in the same city as me and her family's already well off. Father just opened his own financial business on our main strip downtown. She's never experienced hardship and now will never have to. 
  Not that anybody should though, she probably has the best chance at making it last. >
  
  Thanks man. You made me more angry. >
  
  
  "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". >
  
  "Money doesn't buy happiness but if I have to pick between a Jaguar car or waiting for the bus in the freezing cold, I rather pick the Jaguar." >
  
  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. >
  
  Now she can afford a one bedroom apartment in Toronto! >
  
  What a terrible precedent! Hope she never discovers gambling after that one! Lol >
  
  This is the kind of thing you read, and get mad and depressed over because you realized that the universe hated you since you were born and there's nothing you can do to change it so you just accept it. >
  
  I hope she never buys another ticket >
  
  
  "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. >
  
  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..." >
  
  Finally, she can afford Toronto rent! >
  
  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
