Legal Career Alternatives – Winning the Lottery

The chances of winning the Lotto 6/49 jackpot is about 1 in 13,983,816. The odds of a lawyer winning that jackpot are exponentially higher.

Don Worme of Semaganis Worme in Saskatoon hit the winning number on Aug. 31, 2013. He did not come forward as the winner until this past week, making sure his practice was in order first.

Worme won $14.7 million, the largest win in Saskatchewan. Worme has indicated he plans on making contributions to some charitable organizations, but has something else in mind as well. He plans on using the funds to “super-charging” his practice, which focuses on indigenous rights. Worme is a member of the Kawacotoose First Nation, and has an extensive history in criminal defence, including involvement in the Dudley George case.
