$224 Million "Mega Millions" lottery for 10/24/2014

$224 million bucks would be fun to think about so here's your chance at a piece of it! [B-o]

As always, a couple rules and disclaimers:

1. Regardless if he signs on or not Trevor gets a share of any jackpot.

2. To qualify you must have 100 or more posts on CKA.

3. Just post in the topic and you're in!

4. Any legal reasons why you can't share in this, or why you have to pay taxes, or any other legal issue that pops up is your problem and not mine.

5. The shares will be equally divided among those who are qualified according to these rules and disclaimers AND who have the legal right to participate.

6. You must sign in BEFORE the draw in order to participate. No exceptions.

Good luck to all of us!

You will be the ones paying the taxes Bart.

My suggestion would be to make only open to people who have paid for CKA.

Wow, your lotto is still a buck!

6/49 up here is $3 or something crazy now.

If I won, I'd pay off the house and pump up my kids RESPs to the max, then take a vacation somewhere nice.

I don't drink but I'm more than willing to watch you all and drive. :lol:

My wife's cousin owns a boat hire business in Australia. Pretty sure we'd go for a short, year long, visit

Just my own. I've no idea what Canada will ask for from anyone and I'm not going to give tax advice.

Technically speaking, everyone who frequents the site pays for it by supporting the page views which drive ad revenue for Trevor. If someone has 100 or more posts on here then IMHO they're doing their part. :wink:

When is the draw... Wednesday or Saturday?

AS far as I know, lottery and gambling wins in Canada are tax free. However, it's possible the CRA would regard this as a gift, and I'm not too sure what the rules are regarding that. Either way, if you send me a chunk of free money, and I end up with a slightly smaller chunk of free money in the end... it's still free money

The bass riff for Pink Floyd's "Money" is on endless loop in my head whilst I read this thread.
