If I win I'm quitting my job and staying to myself like I have been. I don't want anyone bothering me or asking me for any money. Don't try to be close to me after if you weren't before. Keep that same energy.
right?
Same here plus I value my privacy
You'll never win they are scammers and take advantage of gullible people like you.. did it ever cross your mind that there is too many players but no 1 ever hit? Well because they go around the players numbers. Stop wanting to be rich.. this life of ours is temporary...
You're better off giving your money to the homeless,..
True no one was your friend when your down. Why come around when I'm rich.
@@helenstokes1458 Exactly Helen!.💯
The odds are odds but there is always a winner and it could be you
True that. Just think of some things in your life that had ridiculous odds that came to pass. So you can never be too sure.
If feel for you and the rest of us. Theirs no way they will give that kind of money away trust me. Only hope we have is a smaller prize. They make you think that people win these big prizes by showing you a person on TV. Does anyone really know for sure who they are and if they received all of the money? Absolutely not. If your gonna fall for it fall easy with one or two tickets because even if they really do give away that money your chances at winning with one are just as good as if you had ten thousand.
@@nothinglessthanepic9902 Yep, you must be one of those trump* supporters with that attitude. Just don't play and you don't have to worry if it's real or not.
Or it could be Nicholas Cage ☺️
Yep!
If you're readin' this, I wish you a healthy, wealthy, & successful life!! ♥️🌍♥️🌎♥️🌏!!
I wish you the same 💯🤗
Thank you! I wish you the same👍it would be a nice way to bring in the new year...a millionaire😂
Thank you...And to u as well 🙌🏽 #Increase2020
Thankyou - very much - am building a little house for a disadvantaged person - it is wonderful thing to win - I AM a winner (in my thoughts) would help me to finish this project ☘
Raheem Bosley smh people say this just to get likes
RUN STRAIGHT HOME CHARLIE AND DON'T TELL ANYBODY
may the odds forever be in your favor....
Also......They live

Thanks
thank you
If the odds were in favour of every person who viewed TH-cam comments, there'd be a whole lot of lottery winners each winning about five bucks, lol, lovely sentiment though 🍻
2 years later and this lawyer is going to jail for stealing from his clients lmao
😂
Really haha
Was searching fot this comment! 😂😅🤣
I heard things about him
Thats why he says he barely buys a ticket, winners just go to him anyways lol
Swear!!
there should be laws to protect lottery winners. so many horror stories and deaths.
I just turned 18! Now you know what im gonna do 😎
@@theshady8839 yeah not funny
@@dan-5678 lottery isnt fun? 🥺
Dan - Joe mama is funny
there are in most places but americans are crazy and would make it a conspiracy theory if they didnt show the winners (actually there are still ppl who believe the lottery is fake even with the press conference)
I won 35 million three years ago and it still feels good, i retired and enjoying life
for real? what's your name lol
more power to you I ope the best
Congratulations 🎈🎉🍾🎊
Awesome!! What odds did you hit? Lump sum net $13m left after taxes? Also how often did you game?
Wow
Stay quiet, pay off any bills or debt, move out of the country
So you going move to a strange very place good luck
@@garyjohnson7626 of course gotta stay low for a while
@@MsRita2014 yup. somebody suggested doing the RV thing. sounds like a good idea plus I get to see a lot of places on my bucket list. win-win!
@@garyjohnson7626 not necessarily, hawii would be sweet place to hang out for awhile. Blend in with all the tourists. Move again. Rinse and repeat.
I don't know about the country but atleast the state
In Germany lotto winner's identity is sealed by the courts. The press can tell what city you live in, if you're married, with children, what your employed at, but not your name. Also, lottery wins are tax free for ten years. You're only taxed on the interest it earns, so you have lots of time to figure out what you're going to do with it.
Färah111015 i still don’t get why the state requires you to come out in public
they’re basically putting your life in danger
Right. Constant harassment from gold-diggers, blackmail, kidnapping of loved ones. Of course, if you're married with children and a large extended family, the world is going to find out pretty soon.
@@AFR0MAMBA i guess to show that every thing is legitimate and not a fraud. And also a winner is the best advertisement for the lottery companies.
Does Germany do Lump Sums?
@@Vandicoupnope, Germany don't have that gigantic jackpots like US, but also The have better odds 1in140m. The jackpot barely reaches 15M because someone always hit the jackpot. I guess our highest jackpot was like 35M or something
Can y’all let the lawyer talk? I’m about to win and I need the advice
Right. Me too
Me 3
Ditto
21 gun salute to your confidence.
Anoying journalists. 😡
I appreciate you for sharing such video with good content here and i will keep following you because you're the best.
Yeah, been following world list for quite a while now..
I definitely want to get rich and stay rich in life.
Do you read as much as possible about potential investments and asks questions about them? If so, maybe you don't need investment advice. However, if you are busy with work, children, or other responsibilities, or if you feel that you are not knowledgeable enough to invest on your own, seek professional investment advice.
Some financial planners and investment advisors offer a comprehensive financial plan that evaluates all aspects of your financial life and develops a detailed strategy to achieve your financial goals.
I completely agree. I have been consistent with my profit regardless of the market conditions. I got into the market early in 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me, so I sold off. I got back in December 2020 and this time with guidance from an investment adviser who was recommended by a popular economist on a popular forum. Long story short, it's been years now and l've gained over $850k following guidance from my investment advisor.
Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor
The first thing I do is make sure I signed the back of ticket.
LOL,DONT WORY ABOUT SIGNING ANYTHING,CAUSE YOU WONT NEVER,EVER,WIN,LOL..YOUR NOT IN THERE CLUB,LOL...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
@@fiddlesticksbessette398 So negative! My friend's dad won many years ago. he would've won the top jackpot if he would've picked the correct mega number. But oh well, $500,000 is better than $0. Never say never!

@@peanutjelly727 it feels good to help, i find i can help people personally than a charity. Who knows where that money actually goes. Funny thing i didnt play 😂 i will friday
DON'T TELL NO ONE!!!!
instead get grammar lessons
That would be kind of hard not to do oh, you won two hundred million dollars you have to tell someone sorry that would drive you insane to keep that kind of secret you couldn't sleep you couldn't focus you can do anything it would be unrealistic, you would have to find somebody that you can trust just so you can tell, just so you can talk to them about it. otherwise you will drive yourself crazy
JetStream195 they will find out anyway
@Picachuu 3 day later his husban not found and his wifi get all money....
One thing he didn't mention and I had to learn by myself on my $250,000 win is how to say no at least five ways. After taxes I didn't have that much left and no way could I afford to give money away. So I learned to say no and still after two years have some of the money left.
first thing he mentioned is for winners is to be quiet. that precludes having to say no.
Copy ticket .. take pictures .. be quiet (someone planning to hold ya love one up) , choose good banking n research investment firms,write a will but don't disclose u have one (or your dead) and study safety wit all things n stay private n watch out for set ups
This was great, been searching for "lotto systems that work" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of this site *4 W i n L o t t e r y . C o m* Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got cool results with it.

@@RizzoDaManiac you get some money up front but it takes a little time to collect money from each state. Everybody will throw you credit in the meantime.
why does the state require you to come out in public??
@@AFR0MAMBA there are actually 6 states that allow anonymous collection. Some places you can also accept it through a trust which shows a person won but keeps you anonymous.
I actually won a scratch ticket for 1k a week for twenty years "Which I'm still collecting on for the next 9 years." I won 11 years ago and never needed a ambulance chaser once but they sure tried. LoL 😂
Thats awesome!
jay rider Congratulations that’s awesome. I’m sure having that extra cushion with today’s cost of living has been very helpful. God Bless 🙏💜✝️
@@SC-cb2pg 1000 dollars a week is a bit more than an extra cushion
Tangerine Tech I agree with you, for me it would be life changing....I live on less that $800 a month, I have a chronic illness and I’m on disability, it’s been real hard getting by on that to say the least, but for some people this would be extra money on top of what they earn, and maybe they plan on saving it for retirement, or it’s money to enjoy life each month, that’s all I meant.
You are so lucky
If I win, I'm not telling anybody.
My son has diabetes one. I would donate so ppl can afford insulin. Young ppl and ppl are dying because they can't afford insulin. That is my first thought.
Or you can pay taxes.
Then the price of insulin goes up
I am also i mom of a diabetic son. I would build a hospital and diabetic riserch center free for all diabetic kids. I am with you
connor hayes Look up Dr Schmidt & the Ketosis diet. He has great videos that explain how you can knock out diabetes with that diet. Also consult with your doctor before putting your son on the diet. But I'm almost certain that it will help your son overcome the disease. Cut sugar & carbs out of his diet. Good luck.
I pray you win ! My son has same.
2 weeks notice due to "family emergency", pay off any debt, kids' college fund, buy a house (not a mansion) with new furnishings, bank the rest then disappear.
I heard that people wait for weeks before they cashed lottery tickets the next day I'm going in, the quicker my ticket is in the lottery company the safer I felt.
I need less then 1% of that to get me out of poverty.
Never ever wake up early in the morning for work
It's not IF; It's when I WIN. I'm SPEAKING what I SEEK until I SEE what I SAID...
Lol you haven't won yet 🤣
Chances are you never will
Or you could work a modest job and invest you money and easily be rich in 20 to 30 years
May whoever reads this get lucky, those deserving of course…! 🎫🙏🐝
When I win the First thing I’m doing is praying/thanking god. Then Changing my appearance, quitting my job, packing up my place and moving far away. Claiming my prize with wig/mask, leaving the state, paying my bills off and helping those r n need and giving back to ppl who hv alwaysssss remained genuine and on my team. Pay to Seek personal financial guidance from warren buffet and skip the middle man!!!! All while keeping god first and traveling selflessly to educate myself on crisis n other countries so I can save the world the best I can. I know I will win and that is what will save me from myself and save other ppl too n the mist of painful circumstances.
😇🙏🏽💸
Here in the UK, there is no tax to pay on a Lottery win.
It's great
I agree, I buy it for the dream. I'm a Trucker and the daydreaming is just priceless 👍
1st of January 2020. In my recommend, ITS A SIGN.

Ironic that Kurland is now facing a federal indictment for fleecing all these lottery winners.
The temptation is too great, along with client stupidity.
The first I would do is PRAISE THE MOST HIGH YAH, UNIVERSE, MY ASCENDED MASTERS, MY ANCESTORS, AND MY ANGELS!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
PRAY GUIDANCE, DIRECTION, WISDOM, AND DISCERNMENT
AND TELL NOONE!!!
I’d buy a house on a mountain and watch it snow.
That's cute. :3

Love that positive attitude!!!
First thing I would pay off my student loans they got my credit fooked up
*Oh no worries Sallie Mae will have it deducted from your check trust me*
There are at least 2 people I would definitely do things for because they have been there for me when I was down and out.
In Texas you have to check a box while you're buying your ticket if you want the annuity or the lump sum. Without the advantage of talking to a lawyer first so I like how Jason said to choose the lump sum. It's what I always choose.
I would do what God would want me to.
God wants hookers and cocaine. Jk you're going to heaven
start a new crusade and reclaim the holy land?
Have fun talking to yourself then while laying on top of a king-size bed of money!
You mean win souls for him?
GOD HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH MONEY.GOD IS GOD,THE WORLD IS THE WORLD,BY THE WAY IS FILLED WITH GREED.PRAY THAT YOU WONT WIN.MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL,AND NEVER WISH FOR LOT'S OF IT..
Happy that I am in the UK. Winners have the legal right to total anonymity should they choose. You can only have the lump sum. Lottery winnings are tax exempt, however the interest accrued in the Bank when you bank your winnings is taxable.

I have dreams for my family but it’s nice to hear what this man is say so I’m taking knot of it. Good luck to all that play the lottery.
According to Lottery USA, the odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.6 million and the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Combine those two and the odds of winning both jackpots for more than a billion dollars comes out to 1 in 88 quadrillion. So, keep wasting you money folks!
*Haha lol but people are winning left and right and it could be anyone I'll keep on purchasing*
Hey Mom i won a billion bucks!,.Thats nice sonny.
Don't go spending it all on some fancy record player!
Aww C'mon! but i want one! lol
If I win, I'll still be a cheapskate.
It is your life so go ahead👍
U say that now
Yea right. Wait u till the money hit your hand

I would look into donating to cancer research.
Why? They have the cure. They just like making millions every year.
Trillions have been invested in disease research for decades. It's safe to say that they're NOT looking for a cure, but for more donations.
@@notavegan4722 prob billions but sure I agree
Spend a small amount on 'The China Study' and have a read.
Rule number one: wait for your yearly taxes to come.
The lottery is considered part of your yearly income, and your "income tax" increases because of the lottery. As long as you pay that year's tax, go ahead and tell no one.
Pay bills, pay family and very close friends who’ve helped me throughout my life. Buy a nice car, a nice house, hire investors, hire private security, hire a great legal team. Live my life.
then what will you do next week?
The first thing I'm going to do is quit my job!
Exactly, stay very Quiet!
Just by a lot of houses and flats, make a company and rent them.
Having 100million is a thing.
Having 100million worth of houses giving you like 500 000€ a month easily is way better.
What to do if you won the Lottery? TELL NOBODY!
Don't tell your future ex-wife. That's the first thing.
exactly.!!!!!!!
The lottery paid me $3000000000 in 2020🙏
Proof?

If I buy a ticket, one of two things will happen: I will win, or I won't win. That's a 50/50 shot. Pretty good odds for a couple hundred million.
Very wise
It is not a 50/50 shot lolololol
It's a 1 in 300,000,000 shot. Lmao. I see how you think though, even though your incorrect.
IF I HIT THE LOTTERY MY FIRST STOP WOULD BE AT THE GUN SHOP

That's actually a great idea!!!!

thank you and same to you!
Well 2020 was terrible
2021 was terrible too
We'll how much you win?😂
If I win I would not quit my job right away, but I’m going to have a whole new attitude.
If I won the lottery, I'd change my name and claim the ticket under my different name. I personally know someone who did this.
My life wouldn't change much.
I would move out of my apartment get a nice little house I don't care about a pool the house will be one story.
No neighbors.
Thank you Jason, I’ll be seeing you real soon! 💞🙏🏻😇
If I won I'd still have a kitchen drawer full of ketchup and hot sauce packets from fast food joints
Happy lottery play, and may the odds be ever in your favour
Thank You God 🙏🏾❤️
I had my windows down in my car some years ago, driving down the highway my 3 tickets blew out.
And that store I got them from had a $200,000 unclaimed ticket.
Texas Two Step 😭 probably was mine!
Don't fall for it! If you do only buy one ticket because your chances are just as good as buying ten thousand tickets.
THANKS NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT 😇
@Brian Waller You can buy 300 million tickets and still loose not only because you didn't have all the combinations but because no matter what you do it's fixed and they'd say your winning ticket was a error and void.
Nothing Less Than Epic
You are actually better to.
That’s like saying that 1 ticket is better than 2 tickets.
Thats weird. how come people are always winning it then?
YOU WONT WIN NO MATTER HOW MANY TICKET'S YOU BUY,CAUSE YOUR NOT IN THE CLUB,LOL..WAKE UP.
If I win of course I will help my family and buy a house but most importantly I will create an organization where I can help homeless people monthly in the states and also in the Middle East. Those who are really in need of. Like becoming a secrete millionaire and look for people who are struggling in life. Cause once u die u r not gonna get that money with u,only ur deeds. So ima hep as many people as I can
You are a good human.
and now you are broke because you gave a million dollars to 300 people and made absolutely no impact on the world... good plan
@@tedparker640 That's pretty cynical
Very nice thinking.
Lawd have mercy!! That woman (Ann Marie Green) is absolutely stunning.

Pay off bills, buy some acreage and a home, and put the rest in savings and live off the interest so when I pass on I might actually have something to pass on...
I agree, interest is plenty of money.
That's a waste.. inflation will ruin your plans.
I’m next!!!+
The annuity is good until the state files bankruptcy.
I would build a catapult and fire antique pianos into the forest late at night
It is not fair that other people win the lottery and I don't.
I'd tell my parents and that's it , my girlfriend would be told ive won money but I wouldn't reveal how much and my friends would be told something similar about a year after I'd won the lotto. Remaining silent gives you control otherwise becoming an instant multi-millionaire and telling everyone will only invite complete chaos into your life.
I'd also tell all investment groups and other blood suckers to hit the road and trust myself to manage the money .
depending on how old someone is and how much they win, would depend on whether or not they should get in touch w/a certified public accountant or not. For instance, if a 70-year old won 4 million....figure out how much they would pay in taxes and I'd say "spend it how ever you want!"...on the other hand, if a 30-something won 100 million plus, regardless if they go installments or lump-sum, I'd say "invest a good chunk of that for longevity/insurance" ...
The 2 hosts were very likable people.
If I ever hit I'm going to give it all away.
I'm keeping half and other half I'm just going to give it away to friends family and random people
Ill be your friend
Put me on the list I need 200k for my house thanks.

How I pick my numbers is when I’m out walking around everyday I see a number in distinct view, I save that one number and until I have 6 numbers i go get a ticket. Haha haven’t won yet though Lol
This lawyer charges 1% avoid him when u win or u r gonna go broke
how do you know what he charges? I happen to believe his fees are high, but have only other people's word for it. He wants to build his business so he calls himself the lottery lawyer for brand recognition and goes on TV a lot. It seems: same work to claim 2 million as 200 million. Fee should be flat rate/per hour, imo.
I’m throwing away my cell phone as soon as I walk out the office and leave the country I have a small immediate family and charities to give to . I have a plan already 😃😃
Desiree Butler donate to my local group homes non profit

I little bit every year? Who knows what life will bring, I’m taking the whole thing 😂
That fact that you need a lottery lawyer let you know the vultures out here.
Remain anonymous, DO NOT TELL YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS ONLY family members you really trust. Stay calm. Move away asap.
There’s a one-in-30 million chance you need to watch this video
