Millionaire life: not as easy as it sounds. Jackpot winners reveal the difficulties of becoming rich

0

Ever wondered if those people who won the lottery jackpot went broke? Blew all their money on expensive things? 

Many people think winning the jackpot would be the answer to their prayers and the solution to all of their problems — but some winners have had the opposite experience. Despite being lucky enough to win big, they later wished they’d torn up their ticket rather than redeeming it.

Take Tim, who won $14 million 2 years ago while playing the  Book Of Ra online slot machine. He’s since spent most of it. 

“Saying no to people is one of the most important lessons I had to learn. If I gave everyone what they wanted I would have been broke a long time ago”.

Another proof of the untold dark side effects of winning the jackpot is Jack. 

Last year Jack won the Buffalo Blitz jackpot of $6 million. Even though he won less than Tim, he now has a constant supply of cash. Instead of taking all the money at once, he decided to split his winnings in 50 payments of $120,000 every year. When he won, Jack quit his job as a nurse immediately and started a life of unlimited vacation. 

Every afternoon, even when he isn’t there, his yard becomes a kind of Spring Break destination. Jack hosts parties with an open bar for all women even though none of them are his girlfriend. 

Did he know all these people before he won the jackpot? 

His parents aren’t happy with Jack’s lifestyle. 

I wouldn’t mind if he got a job now, even a part time job doing something”, says his mother. 

We always need to be aware of all Jack’s expenses because if he keeps spending he will just find himself loaded with debt and then even all his jackpot won’t cover it”. 

Everyone wishes to win but not everybody is ready for it. Nobody prepares you for the moment it happens and when it does you need to know how to deal with it otherwise you can end up losing it all. 

Smart jackpot winners

David and Erica won $62 million while playing Age of Gods, becoming the richest in their county in a matter of seconds. Still, the new millionaires didn’t change their lifestyle. They are determined not to let their newfound wealth cut them off from reality. The new millionaire couple smartly invested 80% of their winnings while enjoying the remaining $12 million.   

Are they still playing Age of Gods even after they won? 

Actually, we play even more than we used to before!” David tells us, however the couple always play within their limits.

We have a monthly budget allocated for playing slots and we are very strict with it.” 

Most of the people are prepared to lose while gambling but almost nobody is prepared to win.

Sister sues brother after he wins CA$17.8 million using her credit card

0

Vancouver, Brown: Family disputes are very common but Lisa Brown is now in the middle of an almost CA$20 million quarrel with her brother that involves the popular online casino operator Europacasino.

Lisa is a graphic designer working from her home in Vancouver where she lives with her mother and her brother James who was recently fired due to the known global situation. However he still manages to do some sporadic work from time to time which is mainly paid in cash.

A few months ago James came back from work exhausted so he relaxed a bit sitting on his couch and scrolling through his news feed. There he came across an advert for Europacasino. Tired as he was, he scrolled past but went back quickly to read the advert again. It was then that he saw the promotion they were offering CA$2400 upon a deposit of only CA$10. It was too good a deal to pass up, besides he wasn’t risking anything.

He signed up, had fun playing a few games with his free CA$2400 and even won a few times. James wanted to play more as the jackpot kept climbing up and he felt like this was his lucky day and he wanted to win big.

He asked his sister to borrow her credit card as he had only cash at that moment. Lisa didn’t hesitate and lent him the credit card so he could deposit CA$10 to play and received a bonus from Europacasino of 100% so now he had a total of CA$20.

Few minutes later, James started to scream: “I won, I can’t believe it”. The Buffalo Blitz mega jackpot of 17.8 Million was in his hands. He was so happy he started to hug his mother and sister and he started to dream about all the things he would buy with this money. But his sister stopped him and said:

“What do you mean you won? I won, it’s my money not yours!”

You can imagine the face of Lisa’s brother when his sister started to doubt his ownership of the money.

Since then, the family’s harmony is obviously not the same.

James believes that the money he won belongs to him and he is more than happy to give back his sister the CA$10 he received as a loan:
“I’m ready to give her back immediately the CA$10 even with interest if she likes”.

Lisa on her part thinks that she gave the money as a partnership or investment, not as a loan therefore she is the owner of the 17.8 Million or at least she should get a part of it.
“I even suggested him to split 50-50 between us, after all we are siblings, but he wants all the money for himself now as I’m not his family anymore”

The family involved a mediator before it turned into a legal matter.

After Lisa and James story went public, many people started to request the FREE CA$10 from Europacasino site and the gambling company

UPDATE: Because of its extreme popularity Europacasino is discontinuing this promotional offer.
However, as of,
this offer is still valid. If you are located in Colombia then click here to claim your free bonus now!

Who do you think it’s the owner of the $17.8 Million, Robin or Lisa?

As Hong Kong cracks down on dual nationality, Ottawa warns: Tell them you’re Canadian

0

Global Affairs Canada is warning dual Chinese-Canadian citizens to present themselves only as Canadians if they are questioned or detained by authorities in Hong Kong.

In a statement emailed to Global News, Christelle Chartrand, a spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada said “under the Nationality Law of the People’s Republic of China, dual nationality is not legally recognized in Hong Kong.”

“And local authorities may refuse to grant consular access to detained dual nationals who declare themselves as Chinese nationals, as China begins to enforce this law enacted in 1980 more broadly and rigorously,” the statement said.

According to Global Affairs Canada, Canadians who wish to receive consular services should “present themselves as Canadians to authorities at all times.”

The comments come after a National Post article suggested Hong Kong’s government has declared that dual citizens must choose the nationality they wish to remain legally, while in the territory.

Global News has reached out to Global Affairs Canada to determine how many Canadians are currently living in Hong Kong, but did not immediately hear back.

On top of a global travel advisory due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Travel Canada has for months been warning Canadians to “exercise a high degree of caution” in China, due to the “risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws.”

The warning came after a new National Security Law was implemented in June which has resulted in the arrest of 55 pro-democracy activists, as well as members of the media.

One lawyer has also been arrested under the law.

In a joint statement released after the arrests, then-Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and his American, British and Australian counterparts expressed their “serious concern” about the arrests.

The ministers said the National Security Law, which Chinese and Hong Kong authorities argue is necessary to maintain order in the city, is actually being used to crackdown on dissent and opposing political views.

Travel Canada says Canadians should carry adequate identification, “such as a passport and valid visa or residence permit, at all times,” while in the country.

“Police carry out random checks and failure to produce proper identification could potentially lead to fines or detention. Keep a photocopy of your passport in case of its loss or seizure,” the website reads.

Sister sues brother after he wins $17.8 million using her credit card

Winnipeg, Manitoba: Family disputes are very common but Lisa Harris is now in the middle of almost $20 million quarrel with her brother and the reason seems to be very controversial for many people.

It all started after Robin, Lisa’s brother, won the huge jackpot playing with Europacasino.

Lisa is a graphic designer working from her home in Winnipeg where she lives with her brother and her mother.
Her brother Robin is unemployed but he manages to do some sporadic work from time to time which is mainly paid in cash.

A few months ago Robin came back from work exhausted so he relaxed a bit sitting on his couch and scrolling through his news feed. There he came across an advert for Europacasino. Tired as he was, he scrolled past but went back quickly to read the advert again. It was then that he saw the promotion they were offering $2400 upon a deposit of only $10. It was too good a deal to pass up, besides he was risking only $10.

Robin decided to sign up but soon realized that he forgot to charge his prepaid card so he asked his sister to borrow her credit card.
Lisa didn’t hesitate and lent him the credit card.

What happened next changed Robin and his family life. A few minutes later, Robin started to scream: “I won, I won”. The mega jackpot of $17.8 Million was in his hands. He was so happy he started to hug his mother and sister and he started to dream about all the things he would buy with this money. But his sister stopped him and said:

“What do you mean you won? I won, It’s my money not yours!”

Online casino loses millions of dollars after an anonymous hacker attack that has enriched thousands of Canadians

1

If you live in Canada and want to earn some extra money easily, then this may be the most exciting article you’ll ever read.

Trusted casino site Europa Casino, has been attacked by the hacker’s group Anonymous after launching their new online casino in Canada. The attack caused the company to lose millions of dollars to its players.

This hack has already lost them close to 1 million dollars in free spins and cash prizes and the loss is going to continue to increase until when their new customer agreement takes effect.

What Exactly Happened?

According to reports from the Cyber security firms Talent-Jump and Trend Micro, hackers from China and Middle East managed to penetrate the security systems of the online casino. Their purpose was to insert a program that generates free chips for each new user that registers in the Europa Casino site.

Thousands of Canadians are now registering on the site and getting up to $2,400 in free credits.

As a result, people are using the free credits and hitting jackpots that are costing Europa Casino heavily. What is making matters even worse for the company is that there is no way for them to fix it due to the strict gambling laws in Canada which require Casino companies to notify at least 7 days in advance before changing their terms and conditions. So getting these bonuses for free is completely legal.”

Thousands of Winners

One company’s misfortune can be incredibly profitable for everyone else. One lucky woman, 26-year-old, registered with Europa Casino and claimed the free welcome bonus and after making her first $25 deposit for playing, she won the Slot Jackpot of $722,647. “I used to dread waking up each morning and going to a job that I hate, all to just be able to cover my rent and bills, now I have so much freedom.”

Finding the culprits

Europa Casino and its insurer commenced a claim against the security system Indigo Vision, which will have a lot to explain on how this happened. Spokesperson of the victim firm, responded to our inquiry via email, “This has been a very unfortunate and costly damage for the company, but we have to learn from it and move on. The Canadian market is very important to us and we are here to stay even after this costly error for the company.”

Here is how people from Canada are claiming their free money:

  1. They sign up at Europa Casino
  2. They make a small deposit of at least $10 and then use the free credits they receive to win money without a risk of losing and completely legally

Casinos at Risk of Going Bankrupt Thanks to New Smartphone Gaming App That They Can’t Stop People From Using

0

If you are 18 or over and live in Canada, you can’t afford to miss the excitement in this article.

Here’s the deal: Europa Casino is a new gaming app that is giving players a 115% bonus just for registering.

Marketing Manager Peter Branson explained the decision to offer the generous promotion.

“As a top casino brand, we want to mix things up and disrupt the traditional Casino business model. As smartphones become more popular, land-based casinos are becoming outdated. We want to get people playing our games using their smartphones. We created this offer to do just that.”

“It’s a lot like the marketing strategy that Uber introduced where they offer $15 free credit when people install their taxi app”.

If the offer sounds too good to be true, that’s exactly what Cathy Richards from Toronto thought. But, she decided to take advantage of the offer from Europa Casino when she had ten minutes to spare.

 It only took five minutes and 17 seconds for Cathy to win the progressive jackpot on the “MEGA MOOLAH” game.

Cathy cashed out straight away and has said, 

“I still can’t believe it happened. I think it’s a dream. But I’ve closed and opened the app again and I can still see the win. I’ve also been contacted by a representative from Europa Casino so I know it’s definitely for real.

While Cathy was one of the bigger winners to benefit from the Europa giveaway, she wasn’t the only one to benefit from the 115% bonus. Since the promotion began last month, more than 2,500 players have hit the jackpot in CANADA.

However, the promotion may be ending soon because Europa have almost reached the limit of their marketing budget for the entire year.

It’s only been in recent times that the Canadian Government has regulated certain forms of gambling. Not all gambling websites have passed the regulation process which is stringent and requires a casino to be fair and honest.

Europa Casino is a member of the Interactive Gaming Council. It operates under the council’s code of conduct which guarantees fair and honest gaming. The casino has been awarded Safe & Fair certification by independent auditor eCOGRA. This means that its gaming practices have been guaranteed as secure and honest.

This is vital for players because it guarantees the safety of find and means that withdrawals are processed quickly.

How did the NHL consolidate from 2 bubbles to 1 to finish the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

0

When the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders left the familiar confines of the NHL’s Toronto bubble last weekend, they masked up to board physically distanced buses and then flew west across Canada on separate charter flights.

They were handed boxed lunches on the planes, got on different buses when they landed and checked into the Edmonton bubble. The Lightning went first Saturday, followed the next day by the Islanders and NHL employees. The Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars have been in Edmonton since late July.

Two bubbles were suddenly one for the league’s final four and, as early as next week, the Stanley Cup Final.

The challenge of consolidating two quarantined bubbles with more than 1,300 people on site and keeping everyone safe during the pandemic is not easy, and it’s not completely done.

“The whole concept of creating two bubbles, hosting 12 teams with 52-person travelling parties in each bubble, that was an enormous undertaking,” deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Tuesday.

“Once we get down to four teams and having to travel two teams and some league personnel from one bubble to the next, probably in my mind was not as daunting as what we kind of went through at the start,” he said. “In terms of getting players from individual training camps in locations, some of which have big outbreaks going on, keeping them healthy, getting them into the bubble and keeping them safe. It was a daunting task and so far, so good.”

The league has reported zero positive coronavirus results among 29,890 tests administered to players, coaches and staff from their arrivals July 26 through Sept. 5, the first day of bubble-to-bubble travel.

Have there been near misses? Daly estimated that six people tested positive for the coronavirus and were isolated under local and Canadian health rules. These people serviced but do not live in the Edmonton bubble and didn’t interact directly with players; the group includes arena, restaurant and hotel workers and vendors who are also tested daily. Daly did not identify them or the timing of their positive test results.

“They go home at night, they see family members, they see friends, so obviously they pose some level of risk,” Daly said. “They’re isolated appropriately, get the right medical care and we’ve not had any outbreak situation where they’ve infected other people.”

With no positives inside the bubble after nearly 30,000 tests, Daly credited players and everyone else for a “total buy-in” to following the rules.

“It was pretty seamless, for the most part,” Islanders coach Barry Trotz said. “All the protocols are virtually the same. So the NHL has done a really good job with that. And all the vendors, if you will, have done a really good job of staying with protocol.”

Amid all the rules and guidelines, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said he and his team were able to suspend disbelief while flying so that it felt like an old-fashioned road trip.
“When you’re on the bus, everything’s kind of normal,” Cooper said. “But when we pulled up to the hotel and now you’ve got to wait for the security guys to open the gates and then you kind of get locked in and there’s fences all over the place, then you’re like, ‘OK, we’re back in the bubble.’”

The NHL is still working with the Canadian government to allow family members in, which was planned for this round, but there are some border and quarantine obstacles to overcome. So far, Canadian citizens are the only ones permitted.

Yet the hockey goes on, with over 300 people now inside the Edmonton bubble. That’s down from 700 in each city at the start of the playoffs, and while it has been working, Daly isn’t ready to declare victory.

“To this point, knock on wood, the integration has been very seamless,” he said. “We still have three plus weeks to go, but it’s all worked very well so far.”

Céline Dion will no longer tour Canada this fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Canadian icon, 52, confirmed Wednesday that the rest of her Courage world tour dates have been rescheduled until 2021.

Dion previously postponed the European leg of her tour to 2021 at the start of the novel coronavirus outbreak, but as cases continue to surge around the world, Dion has decided to reschedule her entire Courage tour until 2021.

“I know how difficult this year has been for so many of us, and we are all looking forward to better days ahead,” Dion said in a statement. “I want to thank you for being so patient over the past few months while the team has been working on rescheduling our North American dates.”

She added, “Finally, we have some news, and I can’t wait to sing and dance with you all again!”

 

Dion will kick off her Paris dates in March and play 32 cities across Europe through July 2021.

Six tour dates in Canada across four cities were affected: Vancouver (April 17, 18), Edmonton (April 21, 22), Saskatoon (April 25) and Winnipeg (April 27).

The new Canadian 2021 dates are: Winnipeg on Aug. 16, Saskatoon on Aug. 18, Edmonton on Aug. 20 and 21, and Vancouver on Aug. 28 and 29.
