He decided to split the winnings amongst his family but with the requirement that they contribute the maximum to their Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). With the remaining amount, Max will contribute to a Spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plan. It is December 16,2023, and Max has not yet told anyone in the Lucky family that he just won $500,000. He decided to wait until December 25 th to surprise family members who can contribute to a TFSA and present them with this special holiday present! Max knows the importance of a TFSA as he has been contributing the maximum yearly since 2009 when TFSAs were first introduced, which is why he believes his gift is so exciting.
