Sharing the Wealth

Someone in West Kelowna is a million dollars richer today.

Putting my insane jealousy aside, I'm happy for the lucky duck that's about to sleep atop a giant pile of crisp clean bills.

 

How bad do you wanna nap in THAT right?
But anyhow... whenver someone has a large windfall of insta-cash it ultimately becomes somewhat of a curse.
No no, I'm not talking about leaky yachts or scratches on your new Mazerati. Those are problems that can be solved with more money, which you would already have plenty of.
The curse is all the people in your life who want in on score. Most decent human beings wouldn't bat an eyelash at giving their friends and family a little something. Like a cheque, or a car, or a golden toilet seat. (Uncle George would love it). But what if DEMANDED that they get a cut? Especially if that person was the one who gave the ticket to begin with? Then what? Do you give in to their demands and fork over a randsom as though grandma were a common terrorist? Or do you hoard your monies and lock yourself away (likely to take another nap on the money pile.

What's one to do!?

Here's what YOU said...
