Oh yeah sure...could you imagine if all of us on here got together? We'd kill each other. Samoan Joes would kill people coz I'd pay Kiss to play the party with Motley Crue as a support band.

I just had a look at the population of Canada I was surprised it was low(ish) I thought it would be similar to America.

Wanna have your mind blown? 98% of Canadians live in the green areas.

A bit like Australia except here in Oz a big chunk of the country is desert whereas in Canada it’s icy.

I wonder what the percentage of people who never look at their tickets is.

I don't play the normal lottery but sometimes I'll buy tickets for "charity gambling" like kids sports teams and such. One time I won $500 dollars and I know that if someone didn't call me they could have easily have gotten away with pocketing the money for themself. I never look at the numbers. In this case I couldn't even locate the ticket that was sold to me.

I kind of get that especially people who may not play often. The ones I hate are the winners who have shitty jobs and are all "I won't quit my job cleaning toilets. This won't change me". They don't deserve the money and should have it taken from them.

I've been in a few lottery groups and others in the group don't check the numbers.

"waiting till the last minute or they lost the ticket?"

more likely they dont even know they won

i would assume so at this point. they have lost a small fortune if they had just put it in an interest bearing account for the past year.

It's amazing how people misplace there 70 million dollar lotto ticket, while I keep track of my 2 dollar off store coupons.
