I had a small win 11 years ago but was able to buy a house for cash, furnish it and buy a new truck. I still have both and am so grateful every single day. It would be so nice if thousands could win half a million and share the wealth, that's life changing.

[@tthompson7609]

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

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

[@Blue_Star_flyer]

@@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.

​@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.

[@warriorway5287]

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.

[@joepaullawncare7222]

I would buy a decent sized house in a safe area (no need for a giant mansion), a new car, and mostly splurge on tech like a new phone, computer, TV, etc. I don't need too much or need a closet full of expensive brand name clothes and shoes. I'll also help my 4 best friends in a subtle way without telling them directly that I won. And of course, obviously, retire my parents. But, other than that, I'm keeping my mouth shut and never telling anyone that I won. I don't want or need that kind of attention.

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.

[@shad0wCh8ser]

@@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.

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.

Typical reporter who is just a repeater, there are no lottery billionaires, taking the lump sum payout amount, after both state and federal taxes, the winner will get around $300MM, and if the winner takes the annuity, both state and federal taxes with be deducted each year and then inflation over the 30 year payout period will greatly devalue the actual buying power! Not even remotely close to becoming a billionaire with either option.

[@albardo08]

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.

Somebody has to win it

[@GraceTom-h5u]

Wow nice

[@K_oa]

How do we actually know someone win and the government didnt just take that money? The winner never claim publicly so we would never know if someone actually win

[@joegug4751]

When they emphasize the odds, that’s nasty work. Nobody just buys 1 line. The more you buy the lesser the odds lol

I am a winner

Statistically, people who win the lottery end up broke, because the majority who win either dont need it or have no idea how to make a dollar stretch. The lottery is watched by some of the most number-crazy people who study and analyze it and watch it carefully. Its reall a gamble against skilled gamblers, thats why people with money almost always win. Ive worked at a 7 eleven, BP and Exxon, and i would watch people walk in and drop 200$ on losing tickets just to try and win whatever big lottery was 👆 and to imagine how much they lose just to try to break even or come up just a measily 1000$ the greed is so toxic it pulls in people who are less fortunate, giving them this false sense of "the odds are pretty good" hyea, if your a doctor or lawyer or someone who can toss money in a wood chipper

It doesn't matter how much money you win, if you're not educated on how money works you'll blow right through any amount... Not very many people understand how to properly invest money. Ask yourself how would you handle a million dollars...? If you don't understand the concept of compound interest you won't make past maybe a year or two before you're broke again.

It's not hard to put money in an index fund and make like 8% a year 😅 It's not hard to buy cash flowing properties and pay a tax attorney & real estate management company to manage it for you. My plans simple: Win $230,000,000 Then hire toby Mathis *need tax attorneys and asset protection* ✅️ need a good lawyer & estate planner *unless tobys people can handle the estate part* 🤔 A Great accountant *hopefully Ben Affleck if he's available* 😂✅️ And then I'll invest $25mil in the VOO index fund and I'll make around $2m per year. I will invest $5-6 million into real-estate. I will invest $2mil into the voo just for travel living abroad & good karma buying kids school clothes and paying people's rent ect ✅️ & I will live on $60k per year abroad 😊 My house 🏠 I want is $500k and my car is $45k The rest goes into banks or cds until the next market crash 2028-2032😌 then I'm going shopping for opportunities.

I don't know how you go broke when index funds pay like 8% a year 😂 Just drop in $10 million and that's $800k per year. $20 million is $1.6mil per year. $30 million is $2.4 mil per year. And if you can't live on 10-15% of ANY of those amounts for at least 7 or 8 years then you don't deserve money 😒 If your house is paid for and your car is paid for and your debt free? You can EASILY live on $80k per year.......no problem 🚫💁‍♂️ Invest $10 million make $800k per year < Live on $80k of that and invest the other $720,000 per year and in about 7-8 years your money will DOUBLE in the stock market 👈 When that happens do what you want because now you've made $10mil profit 📈 Anyways if ANYBODY goes broke it's because they are either drug addicts, gambling addicts, or their loved ❤️ one is dying of cancer and their spending EVERYTHING to buy mabye a year of life which financially drains them

kind of sad to find out that most of them went back to the old jobs like, you know, at McDonald's or something like that, especially miss 20 dollar bill lady..
