I wonder how much of my life I have lost to ads. The double ones are particularly revolting.

For you there just getting started?
@faze peely f a x
People: I win a lottery!!
Their family member whom they never heard of: It's OUR lottery winning!
This is why you don't tell anyone. Literally your partner only.
"Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead."
Haha communism
Yeah some states let you stay anonymous some dont.
I'd give a payout to my immediate family members and donate to the Humane Society of the United States. Then, I'd payoff my house and any other of our (me and hubby) our bills. Everything else is going in the bank. Some will go in stocks.
Someone: I won this money
Family: Do you mean *our* money
*Soviet anthem plays*
The best thing to do if you won a lottery is to not tell anyone you won
wat ok boi
Exactly
Some Lotteries require winners to allow media release of their name and likeness.
ikr i agree
@@davidcohen7881 Here in Germany it's illegal for lottery companies to do that.
Who leaves a suitcase with $545,000 in the car? That definitely wasn’t a smart move 😂
The real question is why does he have so much cash?
I agree
Annelise Lim he won the lottery
Aviatial I think he meant to say why so much money in a suitcase.
Noodle Rice oh lol sorry
It’s only a nightmare if you’re dumb with the winnings.
👍
😕😁
Yup, if you're smart you should invest, or just live a bit more of a wealthier life.
If I won hundreds of millions after tax I'd buy a challanger, a $700,000 house in a gated community, and spend my days traveling. Luckily I'm stingy with myself with what I got now which is not much at all haha
It's easy to not be dumb when you cant afford to be dumb with your money. (No hate towards anyone i literly have $22 in the bank.) I wouldnt be dumb with $700 million dollars is what I think but that doesnt mean that's what I'd do.
I never understood why lottery winners CANT remain anonymous. Revealing their identity puts such a huge target on their back
In that case you can hire a lawyer. And have and put it in a trust. And have the trust claim it. There are companies that do that for lotto winners.
Possibly fir marketing. Even now with real people winning, sone people feel like lotteries are rigged or fake, etc
In Europe you can remain anonymous if you want
In certain states you can’t be anonymous
In my country of South Africa, it’s required to give a name but it can be any name. I once saw that Prince Charles won
Do everything you can to stay anonymous. Set up a trust, show up with a mask on, do whatever it takes. You can invest wisely and all that, but if your identity is revealed, you’ll have headaches for the rest of your life. The goal is to be a secret multi-millionaire and still be able to hang with friends and family, but never EVER let anyone know that you won.
Your home and car need to be nice but modest. If you can’t clean the house yourself, don’t buy it. You’ll regret having to blow money to hire a squad of people to take care of it, and property taxes never stop. If the car would turn heads, it is not for you. You know all those nasty thoughts you’ve had about wealthy people? Now you’re one of them. You want your friends, family, and strangers to resent you before you open your mouth? You want people constantly trying to take advantage of you? You want to live with that constant paranoia that your partner is in it for the bag and not you?
Act normal, just with a slight upgrade. You can afford that vacation now. You can afford to chase your dream career. You can afford those concert tickets. Live happily, but don’t live loudly. You have nothing to prove.
I like it
That’s how I would play it, for sure! Except that I would buy my children houses. A modest, regular house. No McMansions.
Even when you win you can't win........ain't that funny
i read this in the narrator’s voice
Yes, do show up in a bank with a mask on.
I have to correct you with your last lottery winner. The woman from South Carolina was already VERY wealthy and she sued the state of South Carolina to remain anonymous. Her attorney told the state lottery board she will just walk away from the winning if she lost the lawsuit... but she has enough funds to challenge the lottery rules all the way to the Supreme Court. As a result, South Carolina changed their lottery rules and she did not have to come forward.
Smart lady she is.
She basically threatened them into changing the rules 8D That's amaaazing!
they lied 1776
Good thing because I would of robbed her
@@jermainemyrn19 you people.
This is how I will make use of the lottery money; spend less and invest more.
ROIs are king
@@TheBossMan1453 return on investment? What exactly are you saying?
@@twilightning exactly as it reads
@@TheBossMan1453 I thought you were attempting to say roth-ira or something to that degree. Whoops.
@@twilightning Non taxable Roth IRA are also pretty cool
People who win the lottery:
Family members who they never met: allow me to introduce my self
Nigerian relatives: Hello there
Just don’t tell anyone once u get the lottery
MY NAME IS OH
Lol
So, the family members are corrupt to the core? They like money.
All Lottery winnings should be anonymous, it just seems dangerous to show the public who just won the union depository within the day
If all were anonymous you would start to wonder if anyone is really winning or if the lottery system/government getting rich off of dreamers? The woman who claimed anonymous 11 months later also had people doubting she was real. There's no way someone would hold a ticket for that long. She ran the risk of losing the ticket, someone robbing her home randomly and finding the ticket, she could have died before cashing in, etc etc etc. My guess is that the lottery system/government cashed in on that money so that it wouldn't get put back into the pooled system.
Me: wins the jackpot
Also me: buys the infographic show

I wonder how much The Mr.beast channel could sell for.
@@Motoxlight probably 33 mil dollars.Why?well mr.beasts net worth is over 20 million dollars and the channel itself is over 10 million dollars
i knew winning lotteries but also broadcasted mean it will attract bad guys, and what i learned about this video is
*"stay out of the limelight"*
Common sense fs I worked with someone who told me never tell your family or if you do tell them as little as possible can tear familys apart
When people get robbed....its usually poor or modern people if you tried to rob someone with millions u probably won't get anything considering they keep the money in the bank. I'm not rich but I do make more money than the average person I own a 458 and I keep like 200 in cash and the rest is card
That last girl is extremely smart let me tell you
yeah. she probably hired a bunch of lawyers and financial advisors before claiming too.
I think most people would go anonymous if the country/state allowed them to.
@@junjunjamore7735 some people can’t contain the need to gloat about their winnings though

@@generalyousif3640 hey man it happens to the best of us
I’m glad there was a focus on the success stories. Any other TH-cam video about lottery winners only focuses on the failures.
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised too.
This channel literally made another video about that
different videos: allow us to introduce ourselves
I remember I won $3k at the casino once.
Called my brother who told me to leave immediately. I was already like 8 blocks away. They weren’t getting that money back.
Biggest mistake is buying crazy cars and big houses. People forget about taxes every year. 113million I would still buy a 20,000 car and 300k house. 50% to savings. Work like 2 to 3 days a week. Travel and enjoy life.
Yea no. I think it would be smarter to invest in drugs and luxury. Just sounds better
@@thema.sosoudid2229 cringe
Just evade tax
They tax the prize before they give it out, so if the prize were like $750m, he would receive like half of it due to taxes
@@yungdon1934 No, you receive a little more than half because you didn't choose the annuity. The amount you receive is still taxed after that. If you won $100 million but took the lump sum you might get $60 million. Then you have to pay income tax on that $60 million, most of which is at the highest rate of 37% in the US. So the amount you actually receive on that $100 million winnings would be ~$37,800,000
me: wins the lottory

Little do you know, no one actually wins the lottery in South Carolina 💀
Hey I live in SC were overcrowded lolol
You’ll hate it here 🤗
The most I have won was $50 on a $5 $cratch-off.

most i won was -$5
Stonks
most i won was 1,000 dollars
Ive won $40 when i was a kid
Person: *Wins a lottery*
Taxes: “It’s free Real Estate”
Lol
If taxation is smart, they tax the lottery ticket and not the winnings.
@@AlexFlodder well they tax both
Thats probably why a bunch of them donated lol
Here in Germany lottery winnings (or any winnings from gambling) are tax-free. So if you win 38 million (that's the highest the jackpot can go, as far as I know) you get 38 million. And you stay anonymous.
A new pair of knees? Really? That’s the best one 😂
Healthcare is expensive in the US in general especially when you're talking surgeries
@@gabrielkawa432 lucky they didn't die on the table!
I worked at Circle K during that 1.5 billion dollar Powerball. I was glad when the numbers were finally announced and tickets had been checked. I was so sick of a line wrapped around the store and out the door for just Powerball tickets. 🥴
Rules for winning the lottery:
1) Don't tell anyone apart from the lottery company, your bank, and financial adviser
2) Immediately invest at least 50% into safe, reliable investments such as low cost index funds
3) Pay off all debts
4) Do not massively increase your spending habits
I have no debts
My uncle won 500k once before I was Born and here's the catch he spend half of that buying new tickets 🤣🤣and none of them came out
The most I won was 10K once. It was ages ago, and at the time, my parents needed it more.
So I wrote my first (and probably only) cheque :)
That’s awesome, and I’m sure your parents really appreciated it
i doubt that you gave it i think it was more like
parents: *soviet anthem*
Thats very wholesome :D

It's not the lottery that ruins lives, it's often other people trying to take it
it's also the way they used it
“A gold plated tesla” wow. Truely a humble woman...
Nothing wrong with it besides being a theft magnet. GTA style.
I live about 10 minutes away from the Simpsonville gas station. Crazy.
Yeet
The old couple who got new knees is actually so wholesome 🥺💖💕
The best advice for people who won the lottery jackpot is to stay lowkey and anonymous.
The best advice for peopel who won the ?? *lottery jackpot* ?? is to not listen to strangers
The most I've ever won was 10 bucks (I recently found 200$ on the floor, i just felt like sharing 😎😁)
Lol, someone I know won $3
I got 2 bucks
Me also. What is a $10 win. I can put gas in my car.
"One"?? Lol
For me it was 7$
I’ve finally found a way to make my dad come back, just win the lottery
And he will come with the milk too, so it’s worth it.
Random person: "I won the lottery!"
Goverment: "Target acquired."
Me currently an hour away from Simpsonville: I gotta find that convenience store
Watch out. Belle dolphins may have a simp contest. ;-;

That old couple that got each other knee replacements so they could dance - thats the most wholesome thing I could imagine
that’s why you always stay anonymous
The whiskey distillery is pretty dope
This is what I always wondered about people who become known over a lottery. Best to be in privacy if you win the lottery and use that abundance amount of money wisely.
If I were to win the lottery, the main things I'd probably wanna buy is just mainly gym equipment and clothes and just save the rest for future things especially for college lol. Hopefully I'd be well in control myself on spending money
The true but sad reality
We all enjoy the moment when we hear some lottery winner lose all their money or something even worse 😔
It breaks me from inside but thats just the way it is 😢
Not me y’all weird
Nope, can’t relate sorry. Only negative jealous people do that. And if you think like that, you will never be a winner.
Thank you for using animation to tell the lottery winning stories.
God bless you 💕 and continue to do more animation and the lottery stories are very good, even though some of them did not have happy outcomes.🙏🙏🙏

Very easily when there is no ROIs or passive income or assets that offer a chance to gain revenue. Money without cause is basically worthless
By overly using them excessively where it becomes like an addiction for one to keep buying more
How to not get robbed when you win the lottery:
1. Secure your home from robbers.
2. Never put your money in your car. (Or put fake printed money so thieves don’t take your money.*
or keep it all in crypto, or a savings account lol
Or I dunno store It on the bank
@@adyingchannel925 buy gold! Bury it on the 1000 acres you buy!
Thank You For Sharing 🇺🇸
If I won money, I wouldn't want it to be publicized.
The chances of winning the JACKPOT is slim to “don’t quit your day job”...if you want to see a “million” your chances will be on TH-cam with Millions of views instead.
I think the jackpot is easier
It's easier to earn million dollar with money laundery than jackpot if you know how to do it pro and never get caught.

That’s sweet that the two old people who love to dance bought new knees ❤️
You just need the right mentality and that is, "how do I take this money and make more money out of it?" that means, investing and hiring agents to sort those things out if you aren't already an expert. Keep a back up amount in the bank for emergencies making sure that account provides interest on top of that.
LOL
I have a *GOOD* feeling.
Infographics, this dude is the best. No equal.
Education and Staying Anonymous after winning, is KEY
i love these kind of storys

“Mo money, mo problems”

I literally started tearing up thinking about winning that much money! All my problems would be GONE and I could finally live a peaceful life!
It’s pretty cool I live only a couple miles from that convenient store in Simpsonville. Still, no one knows who the winner really is around here. Very interesting situation.
The watch next card had enough time for me to come back and click a video? Wild
I remember the big one I live less than 30 minutes away from simpsonville

I’m lucky to live in a state where winners can be anonymous. I would show up to work the next day. I would call my financial advisor, get a lawyer and claim the prize at the appropriate time. I would set up my mom and buy myself a comfortable (but not extravagant) house in Baltimore. I would take nicer vacations and quietly give to causes I believe in while the rest is socked away. I’d get Orioles season tickets. Only the people who need to know might ever know.
I'm also lucky to be in said states. And would do something similar.
I like the setup for the Irish Lottery. One lump sum payment, tax-free. None of this give it with the left hand and take back with the right.
@@TheBossMan1453 I'd do that. Like I said, I've got a guy and I have a nonzero IQ. But I can also live a little.
@@TheBossMan1453 doesn't sound greedy
I live in baltimore and theres no way u actually wanna stay here
Clearly in recent years, lottery winners have gotten much smarter. It was always an age old saying that winning the lottery was the worst thing that could happen, but I am curious how that saying would look today? Those 3 winners of the $1.5 billion seem to have done the smart thing and that was to keep their names and faces largely out of the press.
Super funny how you pronounced my home town of Chicopee haha
The whole time I was thinking... 30 years or getting only half the jackpot doesn't seem to be fair!
I'd tell the bank to divide it by the number of weeks I'd think I'll have left and receive that amount weekly for the rest of my life, no more, no less.
@Mykowser Not only that but inflation would cause those weekly amounts to have less purchasing power compared to if you had invested the lump sum from the start
Find something to invest and spend the money that is returning from the investment
@Mykowser Dude, 500 Millions divided by 50 divided by 52 is 192k per week! who the fk cares about taxes?
@@Blitzscrank Same, 500 Millions divided by 50 divided by 52 is 192k per week! who the fk cares about inflation?
Lol the title gets me😂”lottery winners who won”😂
The lady was from New York State who won the money in Simpsonville. As usual in our part of the country it is usually people from somewhere else who wins. The state however sent everyone a $50 check.
The final insult. Jack Whitaker died on June 27th, 2020 at the age of 72 after a long illness.

We met her son, on tik tok. The car guy, was like "hey nice car, what do you do for a living?" And he said his mom won 1.5 b on the lottery
I’m from chicopee. That was the most interesting pronunciation I’ve heard. Lol
when your so early there are more likes than veiws
I would definitively not want to get the whole money at once. There is so much that could go wrong if you don't spend it wisely and being super rich isn't better than just being wealthy. I want a life without caring about money and not a life in which I have to care even more about money.
Just live a normal life, being able to buy the food I want, beeing able to not work anymore, being able to hire someone for the household, being able to travel as much as I want and just live in piece and give what I don't spend to charity.
*_I definitely agree, i think most will too._*
but when it comes to it... will we really do that? It sounds very unrealistic to say we will.
genuinely feels like we're all to some extent naturally greedy.
The end got me there
I'm not sure if there's enough stories to do this. But stories of how the lottery saved people's lives would be cool. Like they couldn't afford some medical treatment. Or it got them out of some place dangerous. Anyway, this was a great video. Kudos.
If I got half a million dollars I would make a business out of it and grow my fortune and definitely not go on soical media.
I guess so, you can make more money with your money xd
Okay... Let assume you won 1 billion you'll still start business???
After winning billions in lottery
I would go ahead and buy the lottery company!
Same xD

It's a multi billion dollar industry bro

Guys i know this is off topic but i wanna ask you something
Has this ever happened to you?
So you see a dream and think " Wasnt this a dream like a part 2 to a dream i have already watched " but then if you try to think of part 1( " Did i see a dream like this ") ,you cant remember it
There is another channel using similar animation is already made a video of the same topic, yup we've watched it.
I know one who won the win-6 in horse racing. Twice as well because there was a non-runner and the system counted two winning lines for him instead of one. Big money. Three years later I saw him in the street with a bunch of old periodicals and he said to me he was looking around to sell them to dentists in the neighourhood who might want them for their waiting rooms. The guy believed it was going to be Christmas every day.
Did this dude say might be a dream come true😆 I would never have another major problem again
Fun Fact: Skip to then end of the vid, then restart it to drop all the ad's.

If someone's complaining about the ads it's from the poster of the video they need ads so they can get money so they can make more
