What excellent restraint: winnings awaited the winner

A Brampton man waited nearly one year to claim his $30-million Super-7 cheque (plastered in every media outlet, but noted here). Apparently it cost him about $700,000 in lost investment return to get his ducks in a row: and he doesn't care. He's going to keep farming near Brampton, but intends to quit the computer repair business. You go, man!

His story reminds me of a joke going around when I was a kid about the farmer who won the million-dollar lottery (yeah, that was big then). When asked what he was going to do with his new found wealth, he replied, "I think I'll keep farming until it's all gone."
