The article below proves that old people should not be allowed to win the lottery! If your 89 and win millions, and all you want are new panty hose and a Lincoln Continental - your not thinking! First of all, your probably too old to be driving anyway, get off the road -- second, your 89!!! Your not gonna live that much longer, spend it baby, spend it! These folks are not even moving out of their retirement home? You can buy yourself a nice little property in Florida, hire a maid, health care worker, gardner, and everything - and dont forget all the relatives who will be suddenly interested in "visiting"! I think this couple should just send me the money and I'll buy them the car and the hosiery and throw in a fruit basket!

TORONTO (Reuters) - An 89-year-old couple who won a C$7.5 million lottery jackpot plan to keep living in their retirement home and perhaps splurge on a new pair of nylons for her and a Lincoln car for him.
Thelma and Victor Hayes, who have been married for 63 years, had played the same numbers for years but decided to go for a quick pick of random figures for the August 6 draw, Canadian media reported Tuesday.
The pair, who both turn 90 soon and have two daughters, said they were unlikely to become giddy high spenders.
"No plans, except I'm getting a new pair of nylons," Thelma Hayes said. Her husband was a little more bold: "I'd like a Lincoln, if I can find one that's suitable."
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation said the Hayes are one of the oldest couples to win a big jackpot.
