[@lisathomas1622]

Such nice vibes from them. It’s been awhile, I hope they’re doing great!

[@iamkayhud]

I met a guy that reminded of this guy. He was Indian tribal decent, this guy was probably the most genuine dude I ever met. My mom used to say a beautiful soul that's what it seems like this couple has.

Someone should inform him I got a spam email using his name claiming to "donate me $1 million dollars" otherwise I'd have no clue who he is. I googled the name

[@jdubsky12]

Nice work god bless you

[@cassandramorrow5719]

I also just got a message saying that my number was selected to share winnings from Tammy and cliff. Is sad that someone would pretend to be them and get someone's hopes up that really could use some of the finances for their life I feel sorry for these people who are calling people like myself and misleading them thanks for sharing

[@thehealinggarden7850]

21 grandbabies???? Whew 😥

[@jcobbs4523]

That's really only an average of 3 kids (for each of his children), if you include the stepson.

[@Sasha0406]

They seem like really nice people. I hope the money doesn't change the daughters. I can just see them arguing over how much money they should get.

[@junebounds2575]

God Bless u . I have tried to win cause I live off of less than $900 a month to pay for all my bills ..I struggle. Maybe one day. My kids don't help me either

Was wondering if you are giving away 20,000 to people or is someone using your name to use people into giving them money

[@itsnotallrainbowsandunicor1505]

It's spam. The spammers would probably want you to pay a fee to receive the money. In actually you'll receive nothing.

[@ronparcke-wms2146]

He's a member of an indigenous band which is different from a Nation or Reservation. I wondered if he gets a type of tax exemption anyhow. Michiganders, though can get taxed 2 to three income taxes; certain cities, along with State and Federal. Canadians actually practice taxation as a volunteer amd though it's in USA laws as well, the IRS will still charge you anyway with a judge by extorting you. Congress& Senate has yet to backup the US Constitutional laws on this matter.

[@zedric.a.casuga1929]

How do they get their lucky number

[@ronparcke-wms2146]

He kept saying he's of the Chippewa "Indians." I know old habits are hard to break, but since when did India have the Chippewa people from there or were the Chippewa heritage pf Hindustan(India)🇮🇳 ?

[@jonathanromero8639]

Who said hes from India??

[@ryanghim1146]

Ron they are from Michigan

[@kd2239]

Not sure if you're joking or you really dont know. When he says "indian" he means he is native american, not india the country.

[@Hndjdj400]

Native American not Indian American

COMPREHENSIVE COMPARISON - LUMP SUM VS. ANNUITY ANNUAL PAYMENTS Lottery Jackpots are paid out over 30 years, in almost all cases. The winner is given the OPTION to take the payment as a lump sum within the first 60 days for Powerball and Mega Millions for roughly 47% to 48% of the jackpot amount. The first payment is 1.5% of the jackpot amount and goes up a little over 5% every year for the remaining 29 years. Smaller state lotteries pay a lump sum closer to 55% and the annual amounts are an average of the jackpot amount divided evenly over 30 years. If someone wins $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 for 5 numbers of Powerball or Mega Millions (depends if the winner pays for Powerplay or Megaplay), there is no money taken out except federal and state taxes. That amount is the lump sum already. (More to follow.) If winners would look at lotteries for what they are, the lump sum amount will not appear so unfair or unjustified. There are also more creative ways to take the winnings. (More to follow.) Keep in mind that most states allow to sell lottery annuities. (28 states listed below.) For example, a winner collects approximately $57,000,000 for 5 years of annuity payments on a $700,000,000 jackpot. The remaining amount is approximately $643,000,000. So, the winner has the option in this example to sell the remaining balance of $643,000,000 for approximately $302,000,000 after 5 years. The winner collects an additional $30,000,000 before taxes, in this example, because they took the annuity payments for 5 years versus taking the full lump sum, initially. The longer a winner waits to sell a lottery annuity, the more they can receive over time. Comparatively, the lump sum for a $700,000,000 jackpot is approximately $329,000,000. All figures in these examples are prior to taking out 37% federal taxes and state taxes. (More to follow.) Lottery jackpot winners can sell a partial amount of their lottery annuity as a safeguard, if they win in a state that allows for lottery annuity sales/purchases. In the example above, the lottery winner could sell half of the remaining amount of $643,000,000 after already collecting $57,000,000 over 5 years. The lottery annuity would still have a remaining balance of roughly $321,500,000 (1/2 of $643,000,000) and they would receive a lump sum payment of approximately $151,000,000 from a private company. The winner has more options and creative flexibility, if they initially take the annual payments. (More to follow.) If a lottery jackpot winner doesn't live in a state that allows to sell lottery annuities, they still can choose the lump sum and put a portion of that money into an annuity that pays $5,000 to $6,000 per month for life per $1,000,000 investment. (The $1,000,000 annuity can be closed and the principal money withdrawn with a penalty based on how many years prior the annuity was purchased and the age of the holder of the annuity, if the money is needed.) Keep in mind that there are no guarantees of the safety of any amount of money in a brokerage account, bank account or an annuity. (More to follow.) Any American citizen with an income over $578,000 in 2024 will owe 37% federal taxes plus state taxes. So, the taxed amount for an annual annuity payment or lump sum payment should not be such a surprise. Lottery Jackpots are all paid out as annuities and usually are all paid out over 30 years. That's what they are and winners are given the OPTION for a lump sum. Most lottery jackpot winners take the lump sum but there are other options available which possibly make taking the payments more advantageous. States That Allow Selling Lottery Annuities There are currently 28 states that allow residents to sell their lottery annuities, including: Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Florida Georgia Illinois Iowa Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Missouri Montana New Hampshire New Jersey New York Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Tennessee Texas Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin
