Previous lotto winners on how the unexpected fortunes changed their lives 

What’s a “small win”?. Remember, what’s “small” for you could big big for someone else.

@@tthompson7609 I never said otherwise. YOU remember.

@@tthompson7609 My guess is since this program is on winners of multiple and hundreds of millions of dollar that a 'small' win would be way less than what makes the news. Not difficult to figure that out. Evidently it was big to the commenter as he/she says they bought a house and a truck and is grateful every day but not enough to be on youtube shows. You're totally delusional and rude in your comment. You're not as insightful as you think you are.

@@tthompson7609 The comment is about small compared to the multi millions prizes, not people''s financial status as to what's big or small.

@@tthompson7609 'small' prizes that won't make youtube videos can still be life changing.

True. The worst thing a major lottery winner can do is have it announced. Their lives will turn into a living hell.

The Bible is against gambling so I don't play the lottery. But if I did and won I my money wouldn't be accepted where I live. It would be worthless.

It brings awareness to lottery. People see a local person win or able to but a face on money and next time more people buy tickets. A percentage of ticket sales and winnings go to taxes for the local area which pays for a lot. In Georgia it pays for university for many students. Also, every state is different. Many states it's an option for the winner. But I agree, no one would every know if I won. Not even my wife.

It helps with fraud and scam and Corruption these people can actually see who won how they won blah blah blah your country probably corrupts

Many state loteries leave you no choice- it's deemed public information and it boosts sales.

Not only that - he was a millionaire BEFORE he won!

Ikr Oh, I just won 314 million dollars ? Cool, from this day on, I am never Drinking again or ever touching drugs Also, while I currently don't gamble at all, that will continue

​@londonbe240 If I had won $113 million dollars in cold hard liquid cash like Jack Whittaker did I would have taken a long ass break from gambling after losing my first $1 million dollars at the Las Vegas casinos which would still be under 1% of my liquid lottery cash winning. I would have never let my gambling hobby get into the 8 figures let alone the 9 figures.

That's the mentality they use both in Las Vegas and in the Lottery to keep people betting. In truth, you can play the lottery every week for 2,500 years and never win.

yea, the government when they collect the income tax 🤣 They win every time! That's why it's called the poor man's extra tax.

​@shad0wCh8ser so you saying you better off not having 1.3 billion and 600 millionaire after taxes.

​@@robertmzee1027 It would be a lot less than 609 million.

​@@robertmzee1027you end up with around 30% of the total amount if you take the lump sum.

it is real but how will someone win if they will not bet?

@@joetraveler5609 Spoken like an addict. Work hard and win at life instead. Or you can waste your money on a "CHANCE" and "HOPES" to win like the rest of the suckers. All the lottery is, is a gov't ploy to make you pay more taxes. You buy lottos after you've paid tax on the income you've earn only to have to pay tax on any winnings that you bought after you've paid taxes on it. But then, who ever wins, the gov't take a big chunk out of the winner's pay check (tax), so either way the Government take a majority of the money in this game bc at every step you pay taxes. You see what I'm saying? If you made 50k/yr for 20 yrs, you will be a millionaire -bc 50k x 20 yrs = 1,000,000. Now imagine if you spent more of your time, efforts, and money to reinvest in yourself or a business idea to make more than 50K/yr. Maybe instead of buying lottos you work towards making 100k/yr, then it will take you 10 yrs. You see what I'm saying? You can send all your money to the gov't for a "CHANCE" to win or you can spend it back into yourself which is a guaranteed win and then you put most of your money in "investments" so the gov't can't tax you like real rich ppl do. And you see all those ppl don't buy lotteries. Work hard and win at life instead.

Depends how often you use vending machines and how often you play the lottery.

You would not think that applies to pick3 but it is more likely the winning ticket will come from a trash can. These games are bull poo poo

The odds of winning the lotto. 1 in 200 million. The odds of a human sperm fertilizing an egg, 1 in 400 Trillion. Winning the lottery is not impossible, and everyone is already a winner.

Sounds good... im about the same but instead of tech I'd love to get weekly massage and beauty salon treatments haha also would be so good to be able to have lots of fun activities for my children like dance and sports

Facts 😂

I know right, if it’s a headache I’d rather have it and pretend I don’t rather than not have a headache and being broke. I can’t fake being broke, I mean you’d still be hungry.

Sound like you never have a headache before.

Right I think they just say that cause it adds to the sensationalism at least from their perspective. Kinda dumb. The news, government, Hollywood, don't live in reality. But they expect everyone to submit to their reality 🤔

I got a private performance from Beyonce for free. Sat in the one single seat in front of a stage on an empty floor. It was 21 days of rehearsal. She sang a love ballad and looked right at me! It was like being in a dream, I really didn't know who she was when she got there. But I knew who she was when they left! Later I imagined what a super fan would have payed for that moment. She got right in my face in the hallway and said.." Man I am so tired"...I relied, " I see how hard you work I am not surprised"...she was very nice. And very beautiful.

Considering the odds of winning the Powerball is 1 out of 292,201,338... it's not that crazy

Not really crazy! It just hasn’t been time yet, and someone just won the mega billion lottery! Let this one simmer for a little while

All I have to do is be the one 😂

Why go to Switzerland?

no youre not

@@AccentBwoy it’s a tax haven and the quality of life is great over there.

Yes I’ve been there and it’s absolutely stunning but super expensive, so yea you need to win lol

@@Rivs5117 people suck

People dream of winning the lottery just so they can pay their bills.

@@smrk2452I’m one of those

Nonsense remark you've made.

@@smrk2452 Since the lotto first began, it's been so.

For the loser part of the population economy is always bad.For the smart ones,is always good.

You are correct.

why so they can buy more drugs and booze lol. everytime i help a bum with money cash they buy drugs or booze or cigs. so i stopped. now i just buy them food and or a hotel room for the week.

@@ryancuda45 TELL THAT TO JESUS CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY, IM SURE HE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ALL ABOUT IT.

@@ryancuda45 facts lol

" GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD TO ME AND GIVEN ME EVERYTHING " Amen

Just giving them money will not really solve the problem though. Maybe if you use the money to invest for housing, create jobs and training for the homeless, invest in health and counseling services for them. Then that will be better. Again, if you donate to an organization or to government organization, the money will just disappear and it will never used for these ends as it has happened. Why do you think we never hear what these donors money have done and there are still homeless. Maybe you should be the one controlling how the funds are use, buy land and then build affordable housing.

Well,not exactly.It's a billion,but before taxes,just like your salary.

@@valevisa8429and only if u don’t take the lump sum

Nah, when the jackpot gets really high and they talk about it on the news, they also tell you what the lump sum is. Most gamblers know how it works, it's no secret.

There are games like that it just doesn’t make the news

@@johnl.7754Not those odds. That would be amazing if you had a guaranteed 1000 people win a 1 million every single draw 2 or 3 times a week.

Nice try socialist.

The government doesn't want that 🙄

@@BetsyWells-od6nfthere’s games that you can play that pay good money

I wouldn’t pay $24 let alone $24 million

TO THE LEF TO THE LEFT, EVERYTHING YOU OWN IN A BOX TO THE LEFT

You’re right! I know two people who have won (1 million and five million.) Somebody’s got to win. Good luck if you’re playing! ✌️❤️🇨🇦

@@trevorsabo1824 wow wow wow thank you!! For this comment! This is my sign 🎰!! I have a mentor who’s won millions already and he told me the news put the fear of saying what the odds are to discourage you from ever thinking you have a chance but yet be the first wanting to interview the winner and get all the information. If you focus on yourself your time will come! I feel my time is here🍀

If you win maybe hire a personal security team for the first year or so

You wouldn't have to announce it. It is a choice to go on tv and announce your name

​@@candideggplant1575 Really? Maybe that's what Edwin Castro chose (current record holder of the largest US lottery win). He claimed it, ofc they announce his name but he didn't have to show up on the news formally

This comment is frfr

😂😂😂😂

If I win I'm buying a nice car, guns, a nice house, and traveling/doing hobbies

Yeah same. Then imma change my name as one of the first things so I'm off the radar. Good luck folks! Buckle up cause the fall of Babylon and the final war of Gog and Magog is upon you all now. I tried for the last 16 years to dedicate myself to the ministry only to realize it's thwart with corrupt views and hidden agendas

Correct. The lottery is a bait and switch legal fraud. If you take all the money in a lump sum, you get taxed 2 to 3 times depending on where you live. That means you get about 35% of the original prize money. The money listed is not even true, but is based on an annuity paid over 26 years. It's a sucker game anyway you look at it.

Invest the money correctly and you will be one

Invest in the stock market or some savvy, tried investments and you'll be a billionaire after a decade.

Incorrect. The first ever lottery billionaire was made last year

​@@skycaptain95Not after taxes.

People have always loved money, especially since everything revolves around it, bills, luxuries, amenities, we work to make money. Be nice to not work and spend time somewhere else. Pretty sure everyone can agree with that.

Long life ? I mean eh I would just be like very thankful now I will enjoy it for as long as I can

Don’t confuse loving money with loving what money can do for you life. In love with money is more so billionaires who keep wanting more profits

Maybe loving money has something to do with having none.

They are lucky to have a financial team that helped them to keep most of their money. From what they said these people have no investment or accounting background.

The odds are far worse than 50/50.LOL.

@@albardo08no it’s 50-50

You are absolutely right!! People who fall into the odds are 1.00202 don’t really know how reality works! When I play the lottery I’m in competition with myself, if my numbers don’t come out you just repeat your process until your numbers come out and play within your budget. It’s 50/50 chance

😅😅😅😅Good One

Correct.

Nobody has a chance the emporer is naked.

They rig the pick3 because they are clutching on to that measly $500.00 and making sure you are 1 off. So there is no way they are going to give anyone all that money. No chance. "Zero"...They would not risk those odds no matter how slim to pay you millions. All next year's tickets are pre determined. Undermined.

Dang shame

Yeah, that’s why it’s crucial to know your family tree.

I mean, it would obviously depend on what they would ask me for, but yea All of a sudden, my cousins would be very interested in talking to me

What?

@@Whocares0009 Search it on Google. You will see that we have a lot of lotto winners that is sooooo questionable.

True, I am aware of the risks But as I see it, let's go for it Espicaly if you win over 100 million dollars, you would need to do something really really special to blow that kind of money

Idk. I hear people say things but that is all talk until I experience life firsthand commensurate to my souls authentic state then I don't believe anything I hear

Goodbye dollar.

😆
