but you have to live in Canada

That is certainly one reason why I do.. among many others.. [g]
Principle among them, of course, the fact that I was born and raised here..

You guys pay tax on the lottery! What a rip off!

I noticed on the website the guy who won $93m but only got $36m, talk
about being stiffed.

Our lottery pays out tax free and in a lump sum. None of this pay you
over 20 years crap. You win $93m you get $93m.

Who runs your lottery, some sort of organized crime syndicate?
Because, I can't believe that a governmental agency would run one
as you describe.

Canada.. does not charge any tax on lottery winnings..
on interest earned, but not on amount won. Current 6-49 national Lottery
is currently up to around $30 million and the winner will get a cheque
for all of it.

Just kidding! We love Canada! Why, heck, it's like our 51st state, but
without having to pay taxes!
