What Would You do if you Won C$80M?

Simporios has won the largest lottery payout ever in Canada

What would you do with C$80 million???

That's the situation Justin Simporios, 35, is dealing with now after he won Canada's largest ever jackpot payout to one person.

The first thing the Surrey resident did before stepping forward to claim the prize was to quit his job at a logistics company.

The 35-year-old immigrant cried tears of joy

"I just threw in my resignation through an email, just an hour, two hours before I had this news conference," Simporios said. "I'm working with [a] good operations team, my boss. They're all great."

The Filipino immigrant said he wanted to give them a heads-up that he was "stepping away" and wouldn't be coming back, and added his colleagues and boss were happy for him.

After getting over the initial shock and excitement of winning the lottery, Simporios has some practical matters at hand. He wants to pay off his sister's medical school debt and help his mother retire early.

"I've been struggling," he said. I'm a father. I work full time. I have a daughter. I want to go home. I want to spend time with them, but as a father, you want to balance it out. Should I work? Or should I spend time with my daughter and not have food?

"With this amount of money, I'll be able to spend more time with my daughter, with my wife, with my family. It's awesome, man. Just thank you. I'm just feeling blessed right now."

He plans to buy a home and travel to LA

Simporios' first order of business will be to speak to a financial advisor and then buy his "dream home". He also wants to go to Los Angeles to see LeBron James play basketball and take his wife and daughter to the Philippines as they haven't been there before.

We really wish him well, and hope that he doesn't spend the money as fast as he won it. Eighty million dollars is an awful lot of money.
