40 million dollar lottery winner gives it all to charity.

Either a true higher soul or a complete idiot.

I vote latter.

It seems he is the former not the latter.

"I’ve been fortunate enough, through my career, 44 years with a company. I did very well for myself. I’ve done enough that I can look after myself, for my kids, so they can get looked after into the future. I don’t really need that money," he said."

That's all everyone is talking about today, WOW!!!!

I admire him but I wish he would have waited longer before he made the decision. Some people are in despair and aren't thinking clearly after losing a spouse. Trust me, I know. I ran to another state and have always regretted it.

what a idiot

is he just going to hand it over to a charity so they can blow it all on the cost to run the charity so they only end up handing out maybe 20 percent of it

or maybe a cancer research so they can just waste it entirely

doesn't he have any friends or family that could use a boost
a low interest loan

he could hand some out to homeless people or just start his own charity

its a Canadian lottery so the money it came from has already been used to support charity

funny so many people that are poor and could use the money to eat or have a home and of course the one that wins doesn't even need it

if it was me i would hand it out to anyone i found that needed it personally

go down to any employment center and hand out turkeys and hams

Stupid, unless he is using it as a tax return cut.

Only a fool would dontate to any charity, as a huge portion of the money is not distributed. It goes to pay exorbitant salaries and overhead.

If you want to help someone, do it directly and actually see where the money goes.

Dodging a tax audit.

government goon sending out propaganda.

They aren't allowed to keep the money when the government makes them look like a winner.

Goverment takes half and he is just a face for the media ... paid well but no lotto winner.

Mafia forced this to happen.

Actually our lottery winnings are not taxed in Canada

Uh.....let's see, he doesn't need anymore money, but he plays the lottery to get more money. Am I missing something here?
