Jackpot! Millionaires, Winners and Lottery Curses | Documentary 

Yes i find it funny that they spent half million on a pool and then dont just order some catering stress free but everyone to their own :). Most importantly that one also stays healthy and doesn't get lazy and sloppy with health and food etc. i don't want to be indiscrete here but Erica clearly got a bit more sloppy seeing old images and how she gained weight etc.

it does seem hes ok but hes def enabling his daughter

yup

-- No gold leaf, marble columns, designer shoes, couture dresses, catered parties, champagne, and no caviar. Okay, now I know how "the money has not gone to his head" is defined.

The video exaggerates... He didn't win the whole $62M...he took the lump sum of ~$31M

Unlike this documentary claims, anonymity IS allowed in some states.

It's such a bad thing. Say goodbye to your normal life. In most other countries you can at least pretend nothing happened. The reason why especially American lottery winners fuck up so much is because of the lack of anonymity. In Europe, the death toll and bankruptcies among lottery winners are not even close to the rate in the US.

That would never happen in Europe. I guess in the US everything has to be flash and in your face. I wonder what the legality of that is. If you refuse the website could you still legally be able to collect?

Having known people who've won (3 winners), 2 others winners that I was told by others committed suicide. There is alot of stress having that level of money come into your life all at once. There is alot of responsibility and planning with that money. The first thing you do is not tell anyone you don't trust, that's where those lottery corporations putting your face and name all over the news and internet is insane! If people win, plan on moving to another area and don't tell anyone. Cancel phone lines and have mail sent to new address, don't let anyone sell you on business ideas or plans that you're not familiar with.

so wild

I know. I was really happy for them

Lol keep telling yourself that 😂

You can’t buy happiness, you grow it.

@@Canuck24_7He’s absolutely right

Who cares

Cope

Everything is superficial, if they don't like you for your money they will like you for some other superficial thing about yourself. Like looks, height, personality which are at least 50% genetic.

It's a sad day when you have to buy them.

Its just how it is most sad boring men would do the same. Hes happy.

@@asdf-mg7tupersonality ain’t superficial or genetic. It can be but it can be controlled

And it’s only $10,000 a month. What happens to that if the SHTF?

idk i was watching his eyes very close and you can see resentment.. his smooth voice makes up for it

I don't see it that way.

I didn't see much farming going on there... Shooting a gun into a duck-pond isn't farming.

They don't sound very intelligent. Maybe the word you were looking for is "unpretentious".

Her shopping bug doesn't show.. Bunch of redneck tank tops in the closet lol

Imagine how he is feeling now with inflation. lol

@@matthewward8257 still hella rich

He still has to pay tax on that money too, it is taxed as normal income, not tax free. If he lives another 30 years he will be poor

Unfortunately, he looks like he’s spending every dime.

You have to know how to manage properties. It’s not as simple as just having the money to invest. A lot of these winners invest in businesses but end up losing it because they have no idea what they are doing.

#3 Move to another state.

Thank you, I need all the help I can get

🤣🤣🤣

Cash for life can take care of that.

@@alfalfred8722 No, because people will still borrow money against it an end up broke again.

@@alfalfred8722it’s not literally for life it pays out for 20 years

Exactly what I was thinking. He looks and sounds very superficial. $120,000 a year really isn’t “rich”. I think he’s building some serious debt and a alcohol problem. Happy Jack isn’t go to end well.

Yea. He was already a very grounded person

THIS

I agree. So many people supercharge their drug/alcohol use big time. You can see everyone’s big red noses, and the Nebraska couple’s daughter is clearly a meth addict

I disagree. Simple people are forced to live a simple life, because they usually can't afford a better or different life. Thus, when a lottery changes this, it can also change their behavior, because the money allows new possibilities.

@@OpenGL4everboth things can be true. Contrary to popular belief some people truly enjoy the simple life while others are forced to settle for that life.

What a load of bunkum !!!! Of course the lottery changes people ! Sometimes for the worst sometimes for the better ! The happiest are those who do not buy big houses and expensive cars who live just as they did before but enjoy the security that the lottery brings them !

It's for life though so there isn't anything to worry about.

Did Jack win it or his Father? His father had it framed and in the basement. Jack lives overextended and will probably end up loosing it all.

@@markshika3967 inflation will make that next to nothing in a couple decades. even in 2023, 120k each year before taxes is very modest.

No doubt. And Americans get taxed on half or so of their winnings

How do you lose it all when you get it till you die? lol@@jeffreyherman2729

he has structure ,play golf and then party . Not like he has a lambo and a girlfriend with big fake tits

Nah

Yes. He’s going to end up broke and drug addicted and or alcoholic. This documentary is already at least a decade old. I’d be curious to know how they are all doing today. The Nebraska couple might have the best chance of longevity

How much money should he give you?

@@big_red_machine3547 hes got cash for life....until he dies...so he has nothing to worry about.

Yup people like that definitely deserve the winnings.

Gods definitely cares, lol. Very humble cars and home, wardrobe. Why didn't he bless his good friends from same car repair shop?

Strange that you think god has intervened in these peoples lives but is seemingly indifferent when it comes to the horrible suffering endured by countless innocent children around the world . Mysterious indeed

God doesn't do gamblers and selfish people.

@markcaldwell2831 how do you know, did he tell you that?

This is possible in America, but there are countries where it is safe to live.

sometimes to keep secret, there will be a chunk of the payout taken away. so i guess they choose the full payout but have to be public. bad decision indeed.

People post all of their information and whereabouts on social media all the time. What he's doing is not that unusual now-a-days. Sad, unsafe, but true.

@@vigov2012 I agree. In Europe, especially in the countries of Eastern and Southern Europe, they do it in a slightly different way. If you have money, a good car, a big house, you're probably in no danger as long as you don't hang out with the wrong people. However, if you want to get rich and you open a local restaurant, bar, disco, or certainly a nightclub, people will immediately appear and tell you that they are your security guards and you have to pay them. If you don't do this, they will usually destroy or even burn down your place. This is how the local mafia works.

Stupid Poor, Stupid Rich. Stupid Is As Stupid Does, Dum-dum-dum-dum-DUMB! 😅😂🤣

Is that the one with the pool and many girls if so yea I agree Seems to me he's trying to buy friendship and it wouldn't surprise me if many kf those girls are looking to get their legover if they knew they can get some $$$$ But yes I wonder how long those people will remain friends or even visit if he suddenly lost it all If I won that sort of money I sure as hell would not allow my name and photo being published and I would relocate as well find somewhere nice to live where no one knows me and be wise about who I meet I have a nice tidy sum sitting in the bank already live abroad and you certainly notice the difference with people when you dress nice drive a nice car and eat out a lot as I have done the amount of pussy I could get is plenty but if I dressed like an ordinary person make it look as tho I dont live comfortably no onw wants to know My in-laws are just as bad always asking for money kissing ass and even did a lot to help my 2 younger sisters but when the word no comes up enough is enough wow how the attitudes change Personally finding a deserted island far far away from people sounds like a good plan

Jack was forcing friendships lol sad to have money and still get friend zoned

he also doesn't have that much money coming in. His payout cut 3 ways and then his third after taxes is probably $75K to $85K per year net income. Basically, he has decided to stop working at 50 to be living....a middle class lifestyle. Strange choice to be sure.

@@mjs28s It's better than working until 70 with not many years left to relax. He's enjoying himself, and enjoying his money with other people, I don't see the problem.

At the start it says 12hrs a day, 6 days a week and Dave made 2,500 monthly

@@zigmundo ...and what does he do when he gets lucky? Does he help others struggling like he was? No, he buys 20 million worth of cars like a giant manchild. Humans are scumbags.

Well, if he wanted going in more poor countries, he will be living there luxury life.

simping and can't get laid unless he pays.....

Ikr

He has 100k in spending money. Not a 100k in taxable income like a job.

$10k a month that’s poor now with inflation. I’ve been making that for years and can barely survive in California.

well... 250K if you invest it will get you extremely far.

@@reuven2010 ONLY if you keep earning money. Most peoples largest asset is their ability to earn a salary.

@@anyexpat Well, 250K is probably enough to retire in a lot of countries if you can live somewhat frugally , using dividends and growth

Kinda like the Pridical Son in Lukes Gospel,squandered his money,& the parents still take care of him.thats the true gold.i also like Dave& Erika they seem real humble.

Except for drugs!

at least it's voluntary.

YO MAMA LIKE THEM??

@@yaad2226 don't have a mom :(

@@skaddadle432 SORRY TO HEAR THAT

It won’t

yes yes hard work 🤣🤣🤣

More saving money less spending money good equation

The best financial decicion bank saving!

Money won = the principal The principal invested = capital returns from investments. Your personal income = a percentage of the total capital returns. Directly spending any of the original principal (winnings) regardless of the amount. Reveals why they probably had financial problems long before their winnings. Any people (Friends) that come to me looking for handouts. My reply… Give me a couple of months to get organized, as I’m absolutely going to be diversifying some of my assets. Including the possibility of new business investments. At that time, I will absolutely be looking for new low to mid-level associates.

Bot

They deserved it so much

little you know that's also destiny, because you are born with a certain personality

Don't see Jack doing crack and spending like there's no tomorrow. Seemed like a sensible guy living it up within his means . Heck he bought a chevy SUV

@@VanaConn 🤣

If it's 1k per day, soon the inflation will make it worth less and less... He should be careful with it.

I'd sure be happy to sign up and give it a try. I have 4 nice golf courses close by@@SangarZ

@@markob17 so it's worst than I thought. What I meant is that: if it's a fixed number like 1k, in 10 years, that same 1k will worth less than nowadays. Anyway, he should invest this money to keep 1k the same value along the years.

Return to monkie it is

@@bobisaman4273 OOh OOH AHHAH

such an interesting point

Yeah, you donate, and donation initiators take the money - kids get none.

yeah sure you would

Bro the've invested some of their 60M networth returning 500k a year. So, 8k fireworks for 150 friends and family members is down to earth 🥲

Instead of taking a private jet to the maldives they did some working class stuff, drinks, bbq and fireworks they just spent a little more as they have a little more

@@hypebeast5489 What surprised me is that their investments are only returning 500k a year, even with some spending they should be getting 2 to 3 million a year. Why so little?

😂😂

You are not very bright.

​@@fgoogleinthea7475he's true though it's usually spreading thin between people. If there's inflation and people only save and barely spend, it's horrible for the economy in that country.

I hope u next winner

🙏🏽prayers for you, hope things get better for you.

You need to do some serious self -reflection perhaps! That's a terrible self affirmation!

It is better to win when you are in your mid-30s or older because by then you have more life experience and a fully developed brain. You are less likely to fall into the trap of drug addiction and partying and probably already have some stability in your life such as marriage, kids, a mortgage, a career. Lotto winners under age 25 should have to wait until their 25th birthday to claim the prize and everyone should be required to work with a financial advisor to ensure they are setting themselves up for long-term success. Young people too often make irresponsible financial decisions and dig themselves into debt or just blow the money. You would be surprised how much money you could waste just by going out for coffee and lunch and dinner everyday, and shopping for clothes and accessories.

@@roofking234 I've just seen so many horror stories about lottery winners

lol it's not like he is walking into a burning house or a burning forest. He "volunteers".

Only license firefighters are allowed to enter burning buildings The fire department doesn't allow volunteers to run into any burning buildings or put in any danger, otherwise the city could get sued.

@@TechnoViking__ What do you think "volunteer" firemen DO, son? I "volunteered" for sixteen years. EVERY TIME we went out we were risking our lives. FOR YOU> Be grateful for volunteer firemen. MOST departments in the U.S. ARE staffed by volunteers. It's only in the cities you have paid "professionals," but we volunteers get it done everywhere else. And a home on fire with kids inside in Iowa is the same as a high-rise in NY hit by an islamist-flown airplane.

Matthew 20:26-28 "But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

And get anchorred down with a racing sail boat and a steady breeze by a couch potato being worried about your money while almost all the money you spent went into solid investments.
