You Americans need to win the Canadian lottery - we win it all at once, there is no tax on it even. But of course, any interest you earn on it is taxed at the same rate as your regular income - unless you invested it, that is taxed at a separate rate, usually less. Believe me, I've already checked it out - and I used to work for the CCRA (Revenue Canada, the Canadian equivalent of the American IRS)...
But I figure that for me to stop working, I'd have to win five million or so, not one, or even the two that is the minimum for the 6/49...
