$ MILLION $ winner on KO TDs

[TecnoGenius]

In case you skipped the HAM@TOR game, both Grant and Wooden got KO return TDs, no flags.

For the first time ever, someone just won 1 million bucks.  Roy Lyster of BC.

I know the contest hasn't been running forever, but I think at least 10 years (it was "Safeway" branding before).  Junkie can tell us if this is the first time in the history of the CFL that this has happened.

This should generate some buzz for the CFL, as this should make the papers / newsfeed headlines.

Whoever (insurance company?) underwrites this though is a bit miffed right now.  And the premium the sponsor has to pay just went up in a major way!  Might be hard to find a sponsor for next season.     

I find it a bit funny it took the booth guys a while to figure out this was a million dollar return.  You'd think they'd have been way more hyped in real time.

In the GDT someone mentioned the dude who won is hopefully not old, because it's a 20 year annuity.

Well... does JG do Canada?

That was me and I have no idea who this person is or anything about him. Because it's an annuity he has a better chance to collect it for 20 years. Obviously even that is no guarantee but it improves his chances than if he's my age. I expect it may show up on the local news today.

A friend said the winner may have been better off sticking with the year of free groceries, with inflation what it is these days
