Bro won 58 millions and is completely unbothered

Get out of BC. Start your life in another place far away and never tell anyone about your lottery winning. And stay away from social media for the rest of your life

asking if it was a scam is the most Asian response 😂😂

[marcelnowakowski]

Suddenly...
He became the most handsome and most eligible bachelor in B.C....

[colleenshea]

It is very dangerous for a person to have their full name and identity known under these circumstances these days. Something must change about this !

[ezekielgates]

That was the least enthusiastic lottery win celebration I've ever seen!

[thuydoan]

It's a scam alright, for the rest of us who didn't win.

That guy is stoic, he got the poker face.

[nicpete]

they handed him a 58 million dollar cheque and he reacted like he just got a buy one get one free coupon for dairy queen

He seems like a down to earth person, I hope he will do a lot and goes far to make this world a better place.

[guitarfreak]

This is guy is so pure he doesn't know that not only his life has changed but also the people around him would change accordingly and most will change not for better.

JUST BUY A SMALL HOUSE AND A SMALL CAR . AND DO GOOD INVESTMENT .
BUT DONT DRINK ALCOHOL AND NO PARTIES

STAY SAFE AND STAY HAPPY

[slomo]

Is it safe to appear on camera to let everyone know you won that much money?

[fk]

I bet he still thinks its a scam intill he gets the moneey

[CPZ]

If I were him I would quit my job and move out of BC immediately. Too many people will recognize him from all the media coverage, not the safest

[Eric-lxhp]

Wow a B.C. winner 9/10 it’s either Quebec or ontario
