48 year old David Rennie of Canada became a millionaire 36 times over when he hit the Lotto Max lottery this weekend, putting him in the top three biggest British Columbia Lottery Corp wins in history. And while Rennie plans to do some cool things with his newfound wealth, such as buy his parents a townhouse and invest much of it, I had to laugh when I read about one of his other dreams. This burly logger, who – until now – worked in a steel company’s warehouse, wants to buy himself… ten dachshunds! Rennie already owns two and wants to expand the pack because, he claims, “they are good cuddlers.” He also added: “We can afford it, right?” I guess you can after a $35,738,798 windfall!

“Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign saying “DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG!” posted on the glass door. Inside, he noticed a harmless old dachshund asleep on the floor beside the cash register. He asked the store manager, “Is THAT the dog folks are supposed to beware of?” “Yep, that’s him,” he replied. The stranger couldn’t help but be amused. “That certainly doesn’t look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?” “Because”, the owner replied, “before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him.””
