53:00 An Unlikely Inventor
My father-in-law passed in 2023. He was 102 and living on his own, fully coherent and self-sufficient. No illness.
Wow, that is a blessing.
That’s amazing. May I ask how/why he passed?
He died Healthy.@@Hsg1553
LOL really? @@Hsg1553
@@Hsg1553 Yeah why did he pass at such a young age?
You know it’s gonna be a really freaking good episode when it runs six minutes over the hour 😂
Bonus time
Ohhh yessss

No 60 mins is actually nowhere near an hour. from tv days over a half hour of commercials and repeating what the show is about. theres about 23 mins of each episode thats not repeated. This is several episodes together
I just love old people. So much history and experience to share. True jewels.
When l was young l worked in home care. I met a man who came across the U.S. in a wagon train, a woman who talked about walking past brothels on her first day of work, growing up in a dairy, the regret of how black people were treated and paid. Wonderful, informative historical stories from years ago. I learned a lot back then. My Great Grandmothers sister even told me about how the first year women could vote she and her friends sat across from the voting place and "cat called" the hussies. Annie was about 4'10'' and sweeter than pie when l knew her. I really had trouble visualizing the situation. I loved learning real living history. I wish everyone had the opportunity.
And frequently tossed aside for newbies just graduating from college with no life experience or creativity. Shameful.
Thank you... because so many of the youthful people don't have the time of day for us. This generation specifically seems to discard the elderly completely. I hope that never happens to them when they get old
The story of the good guy actually winning. I love it.
And they put a stop to it after being found out
It's all lies and BS
DUH
@@commoncentsamericanis it..
Too good to be true?
Do you think it's a really good conspiracy??
Just jealous, hard to believe a couple of elderly realized playing the weekly lotto doing this Weekly game could be figured. But it took the Michigan Lottery to find out after several years and $26 Million loses. Go figure?
@@angloedu5499 Lottery didn't lose a dime. Actually made more money. That money they got would never end as Lottery property. It's reward money and eventually someone else would get it.
I loved how the 102 year old corrected Lesli Stahl that she "HAS" a wonderful life!
If you ever see the Leslie Stahl interview of Jesse Jackson it was a real eye-opener. Never in my life have I seen such a rude and hostile interview. She was downright mean.
And maybe instead of "have" or "had" a wonderful life, the correct word might be "having."
Yeah, in Japan 102 would be a teenager.
@@deidradahl2802"Thousands of Japanese centenarians may have died decades ago - More than 230,000 Japanese people listed as 100 years old cannot be located and many may have died decades ago, according to a government survey released today.
The justice ministry said the survey found that more than 77,000 people listed as still alive in local government records would have to be aged at least 120, and 884 would be 150 or older.
The figures have exposed antiquated methods of record-keeping and fuelled fears that some families are deliberately hiding the deaths of elderly relatives in order to claim their pensions.
The nationwide survey was launched in August after police discovered the mummified corpse of Sogen Kato, who at 111 was listed as Tokyo's oldest man, in his family home 32 years after his death." - Justin McCurry in Tokyo

The movie about the lottery couple "Jerry and Marge go Large" (2022) with Bryan Cranston as Jerry, and Annette Bening as Marge is really good ; there's alot more to the story! Nice to see and hear the real life couple in this episode.
The film was really good.
I want to do it in nyc
Yes - I remember watching the "movie" about them. Couldn't recall where I saw it, though. Thanks
a lot
Thanks
I love that the lady said, I HAVE a wonderful life, it’s still going on. God continue to bless her.
What I find amazing is that the mathematicians or statisticians who created the windfall lottery game wasn't aware of the odds.
Yup. I wonder if lots of lottery format have been tried , exposed for flaws, then shuttered, over history. I'd imagine it's happened dozens of times , perhaps more. I think lotteries have been going on for millenia
It seemed the test group had no money problems. I think eliminating the stress and anxiety of being poor may be a factor.
That one person apparently couldn't afford to replace a computer, which are very cheap nowadays, or can be
Probably the best feel-good story I've watched in a long time..
Can't express how much I have enjoyed this documentary. It's been a while since I had watched and finished an full episode of a show.
Biden pushing new rule to remove 78% of all documentaries unless approved
My great-grandmother was 109 and smoked and had wine every day. She would eat food out of her garden and water was a fresh spring. she had 18 kids in her life, and she made the paper for being 5 generations.
The key to longevity, is eating food straight from the Earth.
What a lady!
Oh my grandma also live a long life! She did drink cofee every day, she will make the most delicious meals with ingredients from the garden, climb trees with her grandkids. She traveled everywhere well in her 90s
18 kids, she ate good
@@myssscarlet539 When you say longevity, you mean "an extra ten or so years, so that the coroner can finish building the family vault before I shuffle off this mortal coil".
When I say longevity, I mean that I want to still be here when the stars go out.
His Granny lived as long as she did because she got lucky in the genetic lottery, not because of her diet. There are people who live exactly like he described who don't make it past sixty, ffs....
The key to longevity is better medicine. Not food.
These are the type of people that I would love to be friends with. These are also the people that I love to see win and win big and share the wealth and live to win and share. Bless them!
The BEST thing is seeing the elderly getting ahead.thank you LORD!
Lord? Lol
There's a movie about this story. The MIT college students were in a competition with the older couple. There was one factor that the students didn't apply to win. Great movie!
What was the movie called ?
@@carolewilliams4102😫 we may never know 🤦🏻♀️
@@carolewilliams4102 “Jerry and Marge go large” I just seen it in an other comment.😁
Yes, love "Jerry & Marge Go Large" (1922). Surprised how closely it mirrors the Selbees' interview account. Bryan Cranston & Annette Benning play Jerry & Marge. Also has Rainn Wilson, Larry Wilmore, Michael McKean.
@tmc4609
Thanks, I just watched it, it's on channel 4 at the moment !
I'm an 85 year old retired aerospace engineer who believes that I'm losing my marbles. On the issue of microstrokes, or thickening of the blood, my guess is that taking Warfarin, or blood thinner, will help in preventing the microstrokes.
But then again, I do have short term memory loss. I forget folks names. But I've forgotten people's names most of my life.
Maybe I had some form of brain injury since I was a child. For as a 5 year old child, I fell from a second story balcony, was knocked unconscious, and regained consciousness in my bedroom with a doctor and my mother at my bedside.
That's anecdotal information. Getting a brain scan sounds fascinating though.

I don't know- this brief entry reads to me as someone who has all his faculties. God bless!
Smoke weed!
@@chechnya8491That damages the brain, sadly.
Wow, what a fascinating career. We'll have faith in the Lord, it's never too late, We need his word to carry us through. God will help with your problems if you pray read his word and believe it. Also see your doctor for a scan letting them know what you've learned and how can they check for micro strokes ❤
No more diets for me! One thing they all have in common humor and a positive attitude.
This guy is just cracked with his math skills 😎
After watching the segment on the 90+ people, I now firmly believe my 92 year old father does not have dementia like we've been told. If he didn't have some medical issues that prevent him from still enjoying the life he's lived, he'd be just an old man with forgetfulness. I wish I didn't live 900 miles away from him right now.
Bless your heart. I’m with 98 yr old mom literally 24/7. Wouldn’t miss this time with her for anything. I wish you lived closer to your dad too. I can’t imagine how you must feel. I’m sure he knows how much you love him. xox
You are not a tree. MOVE CLOSER to him.
Maybe he can move closer.
Time for you to move😊
@@sunkissdj5608 Working on it
The lottery guy was a mathematical genius.😊
The MIT student's were just as smart
The states are just dumb and greedy
@@christianpalmer It's literally basic probability that kids learn in high school.
It makes me wonder...why so few people win mega millions jackpots if the big wins with Winfall could be achieved? 🤔
@@n.c.467 It's basic probability. Using a coinflip analogy, if a coin is flipped once and you win $1000 if it's heads and lose only $1 if it's tails, then you're going to win, on average, 1 out of every 2 times you're given the chance to wager on the single flip and will win a lot more than you lose.
If a coin is flipped 20 times and you only win if it comes up heads 20 times in a row, then you're going to win, on average, 1 out of every 1,048,576 times you're given the chance to wager on the 20 flips.
Basically, they found a game that presents itself as the 20 coinflip example but was really the single coinflip and they exploited it. Once the state figured out they were giving good odds when the prize money trickled down, they discontinued the game and went back to offering crappy odds.
It’s been 10 years since this first aired, I want a follow up. This is fascinating!
5 years??
you passed the test@@all69anna
The follow up was 3 years ago.
the screen said 2019@@all69anna
Brilliant!!!!! Fascinating!!!! My favorite 60 minutes episode!
I just want to say what a joy it is to wake up on a bright sunny Saturday morning and watch some of these amazing stories while enjoying my breakfast
Excellent.
My mom lived at Leisure World/Laguna Woods until she unfortunately ended up in a terrible abusive conservatorship under the Santa Ana Probate crooked Court system.
Laguna Woods was great!!
There are countless conservatorship abuse stories. It is a serious risk for the elderly.
Great episode! 60 Minutes really knocks it out of the park with these stories.
The Unlikely Inventor is truly an Amazing Story!! This is truly A Breakthrough invention!!
Why aren't we using his products??????
Imagine a time when u could retire in your 60s.
a lot of people still do 🙄
AND often they also have a house paid off too!
@@lazylion420 most humans die during childhood currently. most americans die before age 40
@@saturationstation1446 That is not correct. The current average life expectancy in the U.S. is 76 years per the CDC as of December 2021 (data taken from the National Vital Statistics System). If most everyone died before age 40, our society would be chaotic & everyone would know about it for years before things broke down. Unfortunately, the lowest life expectancies in the world are found in Africa, while Monaco, Hong Kong, Japan, & Australia have the highest life expectancies.
Quit looking for hand outs and live within your means!
What a lovely lottery story! Good for them!
All of the stories profiled were extremely interesting and intellectually stimulating. Thank you for posting!
the odds were fixed not parimutuel why it worked like the daily number which can be limited to a certain amount of of tickets on a certain number
I like that these people helped their family after they won that large amount of money
Same thought came to me, it gave me a warm feeling, and a smile.
What else are they supposed to do?
@@tommyriam8320-- I am sure you know there a lot of families who do not care about others. Hope you win someday, sounds like you would not think twice to help.
so the lottery took money out of the pool/and irs they claimed losses against winners still they paid taxes said they got 8 mill out of 26 mill how old was the guy
The only thing that is important to lottery game executives is the main loop hole to the winning number for the extra payment that is required to pay notice the amount of the. Jackpot & shared entries in the claim numbers. How come when you take payout versus 30 Year payments your entire Federal taxable income is 40%. Even though it's not filed yet and it's not tax time, but you don't need to acknowledge the law enforcement that are all apart of the government set up. NO gifts, make it a investment to no avail.
I tell you honest to god, small rural farmers with nothing more than a bread basket level of high school education are some of the most brilliant minds this country has to offer. Well of course right? They skipped out on the rat wheel that is city and suburban living, choose to grow food for a living. Never go hungry ever again, nothing but the cleanest of air. No chaos and marry their high school love, completely avoiding the distracting drama of the relationship game and heart break and trauma of college dating. Winning the career game, survival game, relationship game and all of this the day they turned 18. Einsteins of the world got nothing on the farmers who feed Americans spoiled toddlers. All of us 🌄🏞️🧑🌾👩🌾🌽🐓
@phillipjdry1234 Amen! You pretty much summed it up🥳
These farmers are exposed to some extremely nasty chemicals quite a bit actually. Round up probably being the worst as it has been proven now to cause cancer but is used ALL THE TIME on farms and on crops. Also, most of these farmers don't grow their own food, not even close, they grow field full of corn or soy beans that aren't even for human consumption, so no.
The key to longevity is genetics, life purpose, and reduced stressed
+ Lifestyle
Forgotten how good '60 Minutes ' is.
They also get to claim their losses against their winnings - that’s awesome! And of course MIT students would also figure this out
What I learnt from watching this that a learned seasoned person, a true dog, a person who has walked through life never forgets that even a "windfall" is just one of the possibilities and is not amazed by it in the least, retaining his humbleness and composure.
In the longevity studies, moderate use of coffee and alcohol might show us that habits of moderation are more important than the actual substances.
WOW! Great stories. I am happy that 60 minutes is still being produced. I am hopeful that science can find the cause of dementia as it creates such sad results to what once was a clear life.
To the inventor it is refreshing to know that his thoughts and ponderous ideas have paved the way to a better brighter future for human kind.
60 minutes thanks for sharing!
The Boston Glove deserves a lot of credit too.
That’s why at 62 I’m learning my 5th language the hardest one. French
In in 60 days see the difference
A man once told me that the way to learn a language is to know how to pronounce its alphabet.
What an inspiring doc on us old folks! Sooooo impressed with Mr. Medoff and all his life saving discoveries, esp being such a caring compassionate man that he was inspired to help our future, our planet just using sheer will and study. Goes to show what GOOD human beings can do.
shame about the fraud charges
60 minutes never disappoints. Bravo.
it disappoints on regular basis
wow plastic that breaks down after 11 weeks! This man is amazing!
Nobel Prize-worthy
Yeah I would really like for my bottled water to start breaking down on the Walmart shelf before I even get the chance to take it hone
Question is does it become microplastics? which is far worse/
LIES, this does not exist.
And how does it affect the food?
Lesley you're a wonderful reporter. These are epic segments.
She's a leftwing hack for the MSM propaganda machine
Good god. I'm young and I did worse on the memory tests than the 90-year-olds with dementia.

I'm so happy seeing the families affected by this money, how wonderful!
Left impressed and inspired. The brilliant man changing this world should be protected at all costs.
I’d love to get Marge’s chicken pot pie recipe.
This episode left me smiling , such a great look into the generation that made this country the strongest in the world in more than a few ways. Never turn away from the chance to get to know the generation that came before you.
Watching this made me miss all my grandmothers. Such amazing women.😢
Extraordinary episode, congratulations.👏👏👏
Cant knock the mans hustle way to go Jerry!😂
Love of family and community is priceless in so many ways ❤
This is probably the most informative documentary I’ve seen in a long time
They should show this to students who don’t see why we need math!!! God bless him!!
when they won they took back their money less the takeout and a profit then irs claiming losses to winnings since they bet so much it added up the whole year maybe they had most write off it worked since of the fixed odds not parimutuel like mega millions
Some of us got the Art brain instead.
Good on him for noticing. That will most likely never happen today with so many odds crunchers. But you never know. Awesome people that spread the wealth and made a difference for their family's and friends. Great job!!!!!
Love that he shared this with friends and family.
This needs to be made into a movie. I would watch it on repeat. Too good! God bless them
You folks deserve it you worked hard all your life
That is a very interesting episode!
Thank you for sharing.
Lou terato looks like he is 65! They are all so happy and positive
This guy should go down in history! And he’s so chill about love it!
This was an excellent compilation. Thoroughly enjoyed it ❤
But whatever happened to that Filipino inventor who used water as gasoline? That was in the Media 3 or 4 years ago. Never heard of him anymore…?? ?😮
Thank you. 60 minutes. Excellent and very Educational. Rest in Heaven ❤ Mr. Ted Rosenbaum thank you.
What a lovely couple. Great story, thank you for sharing.♥️
Wow, what an amazing set of stories! 🙂
This is precisely how I envision my retirement: legally betting on a lottery game and sharing the winnings with my family and friends
What a great video. This is the second time I have watched it. What a generous and brilliant man.
I stand corrected! Outstanding updated show.

Nice word picture
My grandma lived to be about 78 my grandpa passed away 1 month after his 100th birthday. 1919 to 2019. Unfortunately he’s gone but thankfully it was before this Covid bull.
God Bless them all!!!!
My father passed at 94,1 month and 2 days shy of his 95 and wasn’t sick my mom is 91 and drives every day walks every morning with a few people in her neighborhood,she’s a little forgetful but other than that healthy as can be.Thank You Jesus.
Too much oxygen wasted.
My grandmother was 82 and sharp as a tack.
Why is "jesus" so choosy?

Your so lucky, I'm 45 and have lost everyone, 2 mom's and 3 dad's 😢 Enjoy every moment ❤
How do you walk into a store and buy 500k worth of tickets?
by walking into as store and buying 500k worth of tickets.
i am an atheist and i am happy to say, ''god bless america''.
Good question! I believe most logistically minded people thought that too. An obvious question the interviewer should have asked. Probably went to 20 different stores, since a single store would be printing for about 2 days (40-45 hours) straight for that amount of plays (50,000 tickets/10 plays per), logistical nightmare for any one store! And, what, walk into the store with $500K cash or personal check?🤨
They went to select small stores, similar to the store they sold. This ownership likley played a role in their ability to sort out logistics with the lotto retailers. The retailers usually get a % of winnings so this would be reason enough to accommodate someone wanting to buy millions of tickets.
With a debit card
See the movie "Jerry & Marge Go Large" (2022) with Bryan Cranston ?& Annette Benning. Shows how they did it. Great movie!
These are the sweetest people ever
This is so wholesome.
Most wholesome lottery winners. Didn't blow everything on useless cars or drugs.
I know! Paying for the education of 20+ kids and grandkids is probably the best use of the money. Right next to donating it or making a charity.
I love these folks!!
I saw the movie about the lottery couple and seeing the actual couple the movie was based on is a real treat ❤
It truely takes all of us working together.
Knew a retired man who studied the state lottery website to find out which big win scratchoffs were still out there not claimed & a year later won a $2.5 million scratchoff from the gas station a mile from my house. There is a strategy to come out way ahead if you take the time & expense.
Yeah the lottery shows how many winners are left in each game
You still need thousands to beat the odds. Not many seniors can afford it.
Imagine if Jerry Selby had put his focus upon trading stocks instead of running a store. Of course, then, he would have missed out on being able to work with his wife and interact with the lovely folks in his community. So his and Marge's lives appear to have worked out ideally. Just like Marshall Medoff, we can all channel God or Source Energy when we put our focus on one thing.
My dear 92 yr old friend- sharp as a tac- suddenly lost her mind when her husband died. Dr said it was like ptsd. Her body is healthy but her mind is real bad & she is combative. What a beautiful life she's had.
It happens to younger people too due to emotional stress, traumatic event or deep grief. Suddenly going blank, feels like having holes in the brain. I wonder if its reversable in the elderly
This has been an Informative show. Thank you
11:59 amazing story! Knowledge is power 😊
I think the study figured out everything but the actual reason. All these results show that it's mostly important to have fun late in life and be in good company. When you're younger you take these things for granted a little more so it's safer to stay healthy, but later in life you might rather die than deny yourself some fun. It's not like you can be a pro athlete or anything. Do the things you can still do and have fun doing them.
Thank you! Really enjoyed this.
this a very educational program ❤ thanks for all research 🙏🏻 and uploading this great program 👍
I'm 49 and I already feel like my congnitive functions are starting to slow down. I'd be lucky if I last anywhere close to these folks with a sound mind.
Take heart. You're already ahead living in the US.
This is a very embracing knowledge. I appreciate this. About 2 & 1/2 years ago, i became paralyzed through my back & surgery. Was in a wheelchair. Yet, I didnt want to stay in it. I am going on 53, this year, and I can walk again. So, we have to keep going, no matter what season in life, we face. 😊❤
wow this was an amazing one! thank you.
With only 25 members profiting and personally gaining and their families and children is a good thing. The state's education fund made 1/3 approximately and the lottery ticket sellers also made a profit of every winning ticket. This was a great thing for the economy because the billionaires weren't winning. Just local good people. This story brings a tear to my eye. Good luck and God bless you all. But I don't gamble I can't afford to.
Agree it was great, but in reality if you analyze the system of windfall the losers are low volume ticket purchasers who buy small amounts of tickets
Basically the money went from low volume ticket purchasers to high volume+ state lottery
always good to try to be positive but theres really no reason to tolerate a system that rewards consolidation over everyones well being.. and as long as they are allowed to exist, "the billionaires" (what you really mean is monarchists) are always winning lol. you're protecting their power to do as they please if you arent doing anything to stop it
@@cSAM884 it's disposable income that goes to the corporations, the government and finally the person who wins it
And of course the conglomerations always win in this case it was 254 of one Elon Musk or one Jeff Bezos who employees live off of Government subsidies. The bottom line is we are all on your page legs and if you figure out how to get a few bucks out of the billionaires please tell me how without taking it from the people who spent the money in the first place
Wow, I got to get smarter friends! Wish I had been in on this lottery deal. Wonder why state shut it down when they made so much money off it.
Wonderful programme. Thank you very much!
This guy has a good brain, a quick thinker. I think he's amazing. ❤
I play the lottery every two weeks in a month and I play in Arizona because California rule is that you can't stay anonymous when you win the lottery in their state, and if I ever win the lottery I am going to use the money to create jobs on the poorest Indian reservations and help and educate those people rather than for get about them like all American people have done
They really were living the dream. Manage to somehow work hard, go to school, retire, win the lotto, hack the system , bring in friends, fully feel the on the ‘run’ (road), dingey motel, Bonny and Clyde low key🖕🏼the system ‘let’s get this’ come out clean, wealth in legacy, go viral and chicken pot pie. 🎉cheers to that life! y’all did that!
God bless them both.
Thanks for sharing this information, I really appreciate you!
Hey, I'm ready for the nonagenarian club!
In all seriousness, we hope that whatever lifestyles you enjoy at whatever age, may it be the greatest adventure possible for you and yours...cheers!
Finally a good story 🙌
