California Lottery - Jackpot Winner Tells Quite a Story!!

We’ve got to admit, even we were tripped out by the story this jackpot winner told us about his win. Rick Knudsen scored $180 million on a Mega Millions ticket. But what he says happened leading up to his big win is nothing short of fascinating!

[@powerplantbody8243]

Word has it he started his own customs motorcycle shop in Orange County and he's been living his best life ever since.

[@milvache]

This winner seems really down to earth and a nice guy

[@ladyd3586]

They seem like a genuinely nice wholesome couple pray all is going well for them

[@bocaitalian]

I saw this Lucky Couple on the Lottery Dream show, with host "David Bromstead", from HGTV. Great Show. This couple said they wanted to stay grounded? I wish them the best, but still feel they went overboard in the home they bought. Not jealous at all. Look for the show, and you be the judge. They purchased a beautiful Log home on a Mountain, a massive home, furnished, and then bought a neighbors mountains, about 350 head of Buffalo, another Mountain...That is great. I just hope they put alot aside for the future, after all they are going to have to pay taxes every year on those Mountains, and that Monster home. And all those Bison? But, they deserve it, Good Luck to them. They seem like a nice couple. I just don;t like to see people, that win a lottery, and go from everyday folks like all of us, and start buying, jewels, 10 cars, houses for everyone, giving 30% to a church, etc....and in 8 yrs are living in a trailer park!

[@markme4]

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully the interest earned on the remaining millions (100 plus million? ) pays the property tax and maitainence. I cant blame him, thats beautiful property up there !

[@meleciomiranda9179]

Tony Mckinnon con todo el respeto mi celular no es muy bueno y tampoco tengo experiencia para usarlo pero ablando nos entendemos

[@tarag7292]

@softair1231 Yes it is. Lottery tickets are charged right on the dollar, like one dollar or two dollars.

[@berakahemmanuel6672]

Would it be 5, for $5 lottery price, $6 for the first thing he bought, and 7 for seven things he bought and ya 2 for straight two days.... hmm, I wonder... 💭

[@Hotmomdotcomm]

[@derrmann1800]

lines are 2 dollars a piece...where tf I can buy dollar lines

[@tarag7292]

No, they won before they increased the price of tickets.

[@jesvans]

8 years now, i wonder how they are doing

[@sgtcojonez]

Integers is more accurate in this case, since he bough his ticket for $5.00. It is mention in the report that it was "five even", as in 5 dollars and zero cents, but I think that is just not accurate way of finding a connection between this guy's anecdotes.

[@effortlessawareness8778]

Everything came back whole numbers no pennies is what they meant to say for the 7 things he purchased in the 2 days leading up to the lottery draw. $6.00 $24.00

[@DANIELSTv]

I’m going to be there one day

[@PatienceMelissa]

Very happy for the Knudsen's. Have they been able to sell their dream home and the surrounding property?

[@MissNayNay]

I think it's still on the market, but I am not sure. A house like that isn't easy to sell.

[@romysy1181]

I claim the spirit of prophecy from this testimony in Lord Jesus' name. Amen.

[@normapadilla1121]

Thank you

[@BASESKIZL]

"We are always excited when just regular folks win the lottery" What are you trying to tells us about other winners?

[@MsPinkwolf]

They don't have $180 million though. At least half goes straight away in taxes.

[@magnamaine]

Need that

[@Phenomenal8448]

Ismt this the guy that had a steak restaurant in his house? Restaurants cook in their kitchen. A house has a kitchen. Why would you put a restaurant in your house? Even if you had that restaurant in your home to sell meals to people for profit I would t want strangers on my property. That's why their are restaurants

[@billfowler9325]

[@johnthomasharrisontommy5781]

Congratulations I just got chosen if true cool. If not there's a scam involved with you

[@larrycastro7937]

Rick Knudsen, what are you going to do with all this $180 million dollars! First of all, Rick doesn't get the whole $180 million. First he has to pay something like 40% to theFederal government. Maybe Rick will end up with something like $120 million. Not toobad. I'll take that, any day.

[@MegaBallPowerBall]

The 180 is what's called an annuity. Basically there's a smaller amount of money and so the government invests it and makes the full 180 over 30 years, paying you little by little. If you want it all now, you take the lower amount BEFORE TAXES. Federal withholding is 25%

[@MegaBallPowerBall]

The federal government takes 25% when you Claim it, the rest comes due next November but any sane person would have a smart accountant make sure you don't actually pay anywhere close. In a no tax state like Cali, use the 50% rule after the lump sum and 25% initial taxes. He collected 90 million after the press conference if he chose lump sum.

[@MegaBallPowerBall]

+Short Names OOPS I'm wrong, I just checked his amount and it was 107 million which means he walked away with about 80 million or so.
