Hey there, time traveller!

TORONTO — A couple from Thunder Bay, Ont., are planning their honeymoon after more than two decades of marriage now that they’ve won a $50-million jackpot.
“We’ve been married, it’s going to be 23 years on the 22nd of this month, and we’ve never been on a honeymoon,” Louis Chikoski, 56, said as he and his wife Jo-Anne picked up their Lotto Max prize Monday. “And by golly, we’re going on one.”
The couple doesn’t have any other big plans for their new-found fortune just yet, saying they plan to “keep their feet on the ground” and take their time thinking about what to do with all the money.
“We want to catch our breath and talk to financial advisers and family about what to do with this life-changing amount of money,” Louis said.
While a new car might be in the works, the pair have no plans to move since they love where they currently live and “promised the neighbours” they’d stay put.
But that level-headed approach doesn’t mean they won’t spoil their extended family, said Jo-Anne, 54. They have no children of their own.
She said she’d like to see Canada and eventually travel overseas, and she wants her nieces and nephews to share in that experience.
While Jo-Anne is already retired, Louis, who has been working at local paper mills for 40 years, was planning to retire this fall.
Now, he says, “it’s going to be a little earlier.”
