18 year old wins lottery on her first ticket purchase.

[Swede]

$48 million in Canadian dollars. Lotteries aren't taxed in Canada so she gets the whole pot.

6. It would be $36 million. Better than America cause no taxes on winnings.

3. Good for her!

Since her education is paid for, she’ll have a great start to live a very comfortable life. Maybe travel. Take care of her family. Hope she does well

5. Makes you wonder how your life would have turned out if you got some huge sum of money

at age 18. I hope she is wise enough to use it well.

7. There are several countries where lottery winnings are not taxed. Germany is one.

I congratulate the fortunate winner on escaping being harassed here for not paying her fair share!

8. American states wouldn't pay her

because her age is under the magic number.

9. California does not tax lottery winning either. You just have to pay the Feds but not both like most

states
