@Amber MGL That's exactly why it is addictive. The day you say "last time and I quite" the lottery answer "come on, you were nice with me, I give you a second chance"
My uncle has lost close to a million gambling, my dad has lost over $100k gambling and my dads friend has lost over $300k gambling. Gambling is definitely an addiction.
My uncle worked all his life,he is dead...My Grandad worked all his life he is dead too....My great grand dad worked all his life he is dead also...Addicted to work they were,believing they were going to make it.sad....
Huge respect to this guy to turn his life around, starting healthy habits and i'm so glad that the judge reversed the payment for the tickets. Massive respects to the judge as well!
If you look close - the tickets were scratched... these were all loosing tickets. he just collected those "looser" tickets in the boxes... ;) so he scratched...
Sounds stupid but in some way this happens at some point for most addicted gamblers. One day you lost so much money to gambling that even winning a big chunk wouldn't be enough to break even. Not talking about power ball lottery or some sort. But roulette and slots for example. As soon you chase the loss its very dangoures. Golden rules are: always only gamble the amount you comfortable to loose(have a limit ) . Don't chase your losses. There are no sure bets.
Wow, that's crazy. Always wondered what happened to him. I used to go to his store every single morning to get coffee and a muffin heading into work. Very nice man. Glad he's gotten better.
I almost cried with him. When a man put his ego down and release tears is so heart felt. U hardly ever see a man show his vulnerabilities. Some say its a womans weakness and a mans strength.
I lost around 30k too ...this is the worst feeling in the world ...you worked in job you hate ...lot of hrs and then losing it ...you basicaly losing life when losing money ...money is time . ..and you cant buy time back ..all them nights working and 30k gone
Real sorry for your loss. My addiction was through prescription drugs and I was able to move 1000 miles away, live with family, and get clean. I was divorced as a result. But I can say that I'm 6 years clean, and although I lost my wife and daughter (i have my daughter 50%, thank god)...something money could never buy...I feel happy that I am no longer a slave to pharmaceutical opioids.
Sorry to hear for your loss i hope you get better... people we need to come together and be kind to everyone not just your own family sympathise with people too many people on here with negative comments
I watched this a while ago. What striked me more was the courage the man had to lace up his shoes and run away from gambling. I am now at a low point in my life due to many things including gambling. I am watching this episode again as a way to give myself the strength for one last try to make things right.
Oh my God my heart breaks for that Man. I started to cry when he was showing the empty room where his family use to be. I was a drug addict for 10 years. I lost almost everyone and everything. Everyday I said it was my last time. 10 years later and my past is all a blur. I finally got help and got clean. but it’s still a constant battle in my mind, being reminded of everything I lost and everything I could have accomplished. I feel for this man because that addictive mindset is hell on earth. It doesn’t matter if it’s gambling, drugs, alcohol, or money. It will consume every part of you and your life, until you’re completely broken. I hope he is still doing ok today 💜
Good for you! I used to love going to casino's and would blow two to three hundred every other weekend. Went on for about 6 months then quit cold turkey. Sometimes I would win but I just quit cold turkey. Found better things to do with my hard earned money like saving!
teaches you a lesson. Put a little bit of money away weekly and you could have saved a mill. Then again, its all perspective and doing things you find urgent
+John Smith ?? depends on perspective, how long you're willing to wait, how much you think a little is. there's a lot of factors but it all comes down to perpective thinking. What may be a little to you, could be a lot to me or vice versa
When I was younger, I got a small "taste" of how a gambling habit feels like. Though I didn't lose that much money, it scared me straight to never try gambling again. Therefore, I will never step foot in a casino for my whole life.
Incorrect, most winners play consistently & only use the same numbers. Unfortunately, 90% of winners lose it all inside 5 years. Gambling responsibly is having a monthly budget, an amount you can comfortably afford to lose. You will be losing more than winning, that's how the government stays rich.
Watch out with CS:GO skins mate, I've lost over 12k euro in skins over the past 2 or 3 years already. Everytime I bought/saved up a new inventory I gambled it away.
My dad would run into gas station to buy then check phone then go back to buy some more so he can get numbers right. He played for around 38 yrs and never won a huge jackpot , its a shame i have brought living house to house in my youth, he still plays too and i see cards in trash when i take it out daily , i work to learn and avoid my parents mistakes

not me not one bit. I am a poker player and anyone who gambles without a full understanding of ev, or expected value is a fool. a fool and his money are easy departed. lottery tickets are negative ev.
"..he fell victim..." Im gonna stop you right there. He's not a victim, necessarily. He suffers from a disease. Just like all other addicts... Many people will feel like it is his fault and feel no remorse due to their own ignorance but this tears me up... He's just one of millions of others.

In the last 10 years, I have bought 16,800$ worth of lottery tickets. My total winnings $2300 ...loss of $14,500. Or $1450 per year. I was one of those so called geniuses who thought he has "figured it out"..well not so fast.
jaack wayne macy trust me I have tried every trick in the book and with my math background I thought I have an edge. Came agonizingly close to winning big bucks by using my "formula", but still dont have anything to show for it. Thank God I am not an addict therefore I will continue spending $100-150 per month on lotteries and u just never know. As they say, "know your limit, play within it".
Eric Raimondi i think the meaning of the lawsuit that was against him was because all the lotery tickets he was holding onto and didnt cash in got outdated and they wanted him to pay for thier loss in the amount of money those tickets were worth.. But thankfully he had a good lawyer so the case was dropped ans now hes stuck with a million dollars in lotto tickets that are uncashable and a memory of what once was
Forest Gump probably won big money, but he never scratched the tickets or checked them. He's not addicted to gambling, he's addicted to buying lotto tickets.
Whenever you purchase an entry to the lotto it prints out onto a physical piece of paper. He never scammed or stole anything but he did throw his life away. He would be in jail if he was printing tickets illegally
He doesn't blame the lottery company entirely, just part of the blame. He was saying that he printed so many lottery tickets, he couldn't pay for them when they asked for the money, but still allowed him to print more tickets the next week.
Bane1Mirin invest £1,000,000 in a house, rent it for £2,500 a week, make £120,000 a year, make a 12% ROI, live off your rental income, never have to work again, retire and relax... (Typical real estate rental yields approx 8-14%).......
The houses like that are never rented 24/7. People who can pay for that can buy a house anywhere, usually they are rented for weeks or maybe a few months at a time for work related reasons, company picks up the tab and then sit vacant for 7 months of the year. Still good investments though!
Thomas Wolf yeah i guess thats the shit part, but still, if you are just shitting money, would be pretty stupid not to lay a couple millions into a couple houses, so god forbid one day you lose your wealth for some reason, you were smart enough to buy a couple houses to fund you... otherwise im totally cool with burning through those millions on hookers and blow
Barely. Most addicts won't spend $1 million on heroin. Granted bc they'll probably die before that and won't work to get their money. He still lost his wife and kids
Wait wait wait, if the judge found his sentence to be illegal, shouldn't he be refunded whatever fines he had paid because they had been paid illegally?
I got a early start to my scratch off addiction, I was getting family to buy me scratch off tickets at just 12.. winning got me started and no way did I win more than lose, I recently won 2k on a scratcher but that is the most I won on them.. probably spend 100 each time I go
+Ainsworth Dennis 😂 Jesus Christ keyboard warriors like yourself should really take a step back and think about what you're saying. I have one question: Does it get hot in your mum's basement?
I totally feel for him, I lived with addiction for years, (drugs) it’s the darkest time of a persons life, I’m just glad like myself that he’s turned a corner, I hope he gets his life back totally and his family too xxxx god bless u mate xxxx none of us are Perfect, we r only human xxxx
+Ashh It's an addiction just like any other. Sure, he began it, but he obviously never meant to reach this point. There's nothing wrong with feeling empathy for him.
That's really sad, seeing a man cry over destroying his family because of an addiction is just so terrible. I know that's kinda looked down upon, but you can see that regret like that isn't just being sad, it's deep deep sadness that will stick with you for the rest of your life. I can't stand seeing someone feel like that, especially if it's some kind of addiction where you want to stop, but it it's just so damn hard. Yea he shoulda manned up, but I know severe addiction causes many good people to ruin everything.
The stock market remains one of the most promising areas to put your money;if you can control your risk, you may use the stock market to safeguard your financial situation while also earning money.
Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as incomes in investments even in this crazy days in the market , any pointer any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earning ? would appreciate.
When it comes to the world of investing most people don't know where to start. Fortunately great investor's of the past and present can provide us with guidance .
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflatio
StephenRahrig They didn’t tell you the whole story...he wasn’t scratching the tickets, because he was just scanning the bar code. He checked all the tickets, and when he printed all the tickets, he didn’t cash them in because they were losers!
I don't understand how anyone could throw away their hard earned money on gambling. I've went to casinos and feel super guilty if I just spend 20.00 would much rather spend my money on things I can use later and not just a second cheap thrill.
Its very hard to put yourself in an addicts shoes. He had a diagnosable and severe case of addiction. In other words, the physical workings of his brain were operating differently then you and mine. Addiction is a hard thing to get over with no support.
They have a delusion that they will win. Just like those crazy law of attraction people who are super annoying and they believe everything is awesome when their lives are really shit and falling apart all around them but they ignore it because "you always gotta think positive voodoo" also a normal person gets a little high from playing. The addicts brain releases so much more chemicals they get super high when they play. Like cocaine. So they are really addicted to their own chemistry and are paying for their drug like any other addict. There was an interesting study where they hooked machines up to animals brains which released the same chemicals in the reward center of the brain. Then they trained the animals to push a button anytime they wanted to feel that feeling. All of the animals after a few weeks stopped eating all together and continued to press the button over and over. They would have rather died and not eat just to keep pressing the button.
People should understand that behind every ticket there is a hugely experienced team of mathematicians ensuring that the chances of you profiting from the lottery are kept extremely low.
Yes and now with computer generated systems. You literally have little to no chance of winning the lottery. I bet this guy was playing the same number multiple times, hoping for a huge payout. This will never happen.
22244crash he owned a convenience store with the machines. He could print as many as he wanted. The problem is he would be responsible to remit the money to the state for the tickets. He never did and got caught.
@@EricSmyth2Christ lol , so if that's the case , let me play for free as much as i want , if i dont win i dont owe them anything :D if i win i am gonna pay the price of the tickets , huh ?
I lost my family gambling also. Thank God he delivered me from this addiction and satans clutches. Never laugh at another persons addictions. We all are addicted to something that has the capability of destroying us but some destruction manifest faster. I can never look down on a drug addict because in some ways I know what it feels like. Thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for bringing me out of the furnace. Its been over fifteen years and no wife back yet but we know through you all things are possible
Guy Maimon get a grip, God is real. Ask him to reveal himself to you and he will. But you have to do it diligently and earnestly... If not, hell will be your eternity.
This is a good example of how gambling is not about the money. He spent so much money because the buzz and the thrill was addictive. Gambling is one of the worst types of addiction to get under control. Such a sad story. Hopefully, he can rebuild his life again.
I work at a gas station and its honestly heartbreaking to see people come in and spend hundreds of dollars a day on scratch offs. Wish I could help them :(
It was sad that he lost his family because of his addiction...you could feel his pain when he was talking about them...but he seems to be on a path to redemption...stay strong...you've got a chance to make a new start...

you buy the tickets but you don't check them, make no sense
Geebo Lee maybe he crazy
the total prize amount is less than the ticket value. that could be the reason.

jaack wayne macy Ummm NO
Baba Zehri Math background does nothing..it's a fluke if u win
Yeah glad you got out. The lottery is engineered for poor man to lose more.
Baba Zehri can you thank god someone else is an addict instead of you.
you spend a million dollars....to not win money??
Eric Raimondi i think the meaning of the lawsuit that was against him was because all the lotery tickets he was holding onto and didnt cash in got outdated and they wanted him to pay for thier loss in the amount of money those tickets were worth.. But thankfully he had a good lawyer so the case was dropped ans now hes stuck with a million dollars in lotto tickets that are uncashable and a memory of what once was
Listen closer at the 2 minute mark, he never paid for any of those tickets.
how is it their loss if they still keep the money that wasnt
won,
Pretty much the definition of lottery lol
@@XotilweOdi the comment right above yours explained it lol
Gambling Addict Spends $1M On Lottery Tickets
mr beast: hold my money
I feel sad for this man.
glennard coleman I don't because he knew exactly what he was doing. He gets no sympathy from me.
LilRay Stew It’s called a Addiction for a reason
glennard coleman Why he should have gotten help..He's a Fook up
@Earth Chan addiction is a choice and willpower. You don't sympathize with that you motivate to change
LilRay Stew it’s called an addiction and you obviously don’t know how they work
Forest Gump probably won big money, but he never scratched the tickets or checked them. He's not addicted to gambling, he's addicted to buying lotto tickets.
Wait, so he got caught printing tickets and then blames the lotto company?
Whenever you purchase an entry to the lotto it prints out onto a physical piece of paper. He never scammed or stole anything but he did throw his life away. He would be in jail if he was printing tickets illegally
He doesn't blame the lottery company entirely, just part of the blame. He was saying that he printed so many lottery tickets, he couldn't pay for them when they asked for the money, but still allowed him to print more tickets the next week.
I searched this after I just spent money on my first lottery ticket, won 20 dollars and lost it all on 4 more tickets. Never again😂
This is sad I would rather buy gift cards
Gaby Nunez lol
J Beableish you're funny
True
Me too 😂😂

No racist comment?! Proud of y'all!
bless you
+Rasmus Wolf he's somalian we dont claim them ....
This has nothing to do with race.
wait he's not white??? there you go your racist comment.
Somalians are Black.
Its good that he's now fighting to replace his addiction with excercise.
The most dangerous types of addicts are always those who don't believe they are addicted in the first place.
I'm happy he's doing better
The sickness is called " value dysfunction " . We all have it to some extent. We put value on things are are not beneficial and even harmful.
"how many tickets do you want?"
This guy: yes
XD
Lottery tickets - the poor mans investment.
real estate - the rich man's investment
+Crystalised Meth depends if the market rises or not
Bane1Mirin invest £1,000,000 in a house, rent it for £2,500 a week, make £120,000 a year, make a 12% ROI, live off your rental income, never have to work again, retire and relax... (Typical real estate rental yields approx 8-14%).......
The houses like that are never rented 24/7. People who can pay for that can buy a house anywhere, usually they are rented for weeks or maybe a few months at a time for work related reasons, company picks up the tab and then sit vacant for 7 months of the year. Still good investments though!
Thomas Wolf yeah i guess thats the shit part, but still, if you are just shitting money, would be pretty stupid not to lay a couple millions into a couple houses, so god forbid one day you lose your wealth for some reason, you were smart enough to buy a couple houses to fund you... otherwise im totally cool with burning through those millions on hookers and blow
Im happy that now he's happy and got over his gambling addiction
I unno if his happy buts it's better
+Stony OG lol you s funny
I wished I had 1m to waste on lottery tickets
I saw you somewhere....
+Puggy Things me too lol 1m wouldn't be enough for you
If I had 1million dollars I won't spend it on gambling, I might invest in the stock market or do property
Did you watch the video? He didn't pay for the tickets.
ikr noone has watched the video
Lol I can’t even afford a lottery ticket
Better than being addicted to heroine 😂😂😂
Hurrah Bay better than most substance addiction
At least you get high off that. I can’t smoke lottery tickets and get high
Hurrah Bay
he's waiting to hit the jackpot, so he can buy all the heroine he can. Hahaha
Barely. Most addicts won't spend $1 million on heroin. Granted bc they'll probably die before that and won't work to get their money. He still lost his wife and kids
Hurrah Bay no it isn't
if you have a million dollars to spend on lottery tickets I still think you're successful in life.
Successful life is being content and peace of mind not wealth
He worked at the store and printed tickets he didn't pay for.
Chris Baker It was his store**
Wait wait wait, if the judge found his sentence to be illegal, shouldn't he be refunded whatever fines he had paid because they had been paid illegally?
Tim Cairns Well he still technically stole, he just never cashed the tickets

Wow I never new addition could tear apart a family like this 😢😢😢😿😿
I once lost 20$ in casino, and that was enough for me.....
poor guy, I hope he is doing well and back with his family
I got a early start to my scratch off addiction, I was getting family to buy me scratch off tickets at just 12.. winning got me started and no way did I win more than lose, I recently won 2k on a scratcher but that is the most I won on them.. probably spend 100 each time I go
I feel so sorry for him. I really hope he soon overcomes his addiction.
Damn I feel bad for him.
i find it hilarious
+Ainsworth Dennis 😂 Jesus Christ keyboard warriors like yourself should really take a step back and think about what you're saying. I have one question: Does it get hot in your mum's basement?
+Ainsworth Dennis You are a bigot pig.

Ainsworth Dennis What does that even mean?
I totally feel for him, I lived with addiction for years, (drugs) it’s the darkest time of a persons life, I’m just glad like myself that he’s turned a corner, I hope he gets his life back totally and his family too xxxx god bless u mate xxxx none of us are
Perfect, we r only human xxxx
bless him. So sad😢
His own fault tho no need to feel pitty for him.
+Ashh It's an addiction just like any other. Sure, he began it, but he obviously never meant to reach this point. There's nothing wrong with feeling empathy for him.
+TuryTF2 Thats true. It could have been prevented way before it got to a million. why not u help him it would be a good way to show empathy eh?
+Lucifer Deathdig he doesn't need to pay idiot lol
Blessed. U are beautiful y blesses
That's really sad, seeing a man cry over destroying his family because of an addiction is just so terrible. I know that's kinda looked down upon, but you can see that regret like that isn't just being sad, it's deep deep sadness that will stick with you for the rest of your life. I can't stand seeing someone feel like that, especially if it's some kind of addiction where you want to stop, but it it's just so damn hard. Yea he shoulda manned up, but I know severe addiction causes many good people to ruin everything.
he should get himself a big Mac and fries and chill
If charging him was illegal then this man deserves compensation
legend's say this man is still running
Hes not even running properly

The stock market remains one of the most promising areas to put your money;if you can control your risk, you may use the stock market to safeguard your financial situation while also earning money.
Reading about people grabbing multi-figures monthly as incomes in investments even in this crazy days in the market , any pointer any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earning ? would appreciate.
I recommend Mr Thomas Alex

When it comes to the world of investing most people don't know where to start. Fortunately great investor's of the past and present can provide us with guidance .
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflatio
What are you talking about and how could this be explain?
He's the man have been trading my coins with for the pass few months I started with him this year
Speaking of being successful. I know I am blessed if not I won't have met someone who's as spectacular as Josh.
I must say crypto is the future and the way Investment is the only concept that separate the rich from the poor
I have also expirence his great work he's good in trading
So he’s addicted to....printing paper? Has he ever won anything? I honestly am puzzled by this story.
StephenRahrig They didn’t tell you the whole story...he wasn’t scratching the tickets, because he was just scanning the bar code. He checked all the tickets, and when he printed all the tickets, he didn’t cash them in because they were losers!
As he is the seller. If he had '' sold'' himself a winning jackpot he would be notified so he doesn't need to check the actual tickets
*Its not gambling when you don't check the tickets..*
I don't understand how anyone could throw away their hard earned money on gambling. I've went to casinos and feel super guilty if I just spend 20.00 would much rather spend my money on things I can use later and not just a second cheap thrill.
Its very hard to put yourself in an addicts shoes. He had a diagnosable and severe case of addiction. In other words, the physical workings of his brain were operating differently then you and mine. Addiction is a hard thing to get over with no support.
Crackheads don't think twice about buying crack
+xSwisher LMFAO sure don't
Yeah but with that 20 they just put in some of them instantly win 500 or a thousand dollars while you're at working sweating
They have a delusion that they will win. Just like those crazy law of attraction people who are super annoying and they believe everything is awesome when their lives are really shit and falling apart all around them but they ignore it because "you always gotta think positive voodoo" also a normal person gets a little high from playing. The addicts brain releases so much more chemicals they get super high when they play. Like cocaine. So they are really addicted to their own chemistry and are paying for their drug like any other addict. There was an interesting study where they hooked machines up to animals brains which released the same chemicals in the reward center of the brain. Then they trained the animals to push a button anytime they wanted to feel that feeling. All of the animals after a few weeks stopped eating all together and continued to press the button over and over. They would have rather died and not eat just to keep pressing the button.
Imagine spending a million trying to win a million
For a second I thought he was gonna take out his car key and start the car
Those are the fake lottery tickets. Now these are the real lottery tickets!
You mad Bro family guy!!!!!!
Erasmo Mateo hhahaha yup
Is this also a test? Yes, THESE are the real tickets
Family guy reference
So in addition to buying 200k lottery tickets you had 400k fake ones printed just in case?
two weeks later Adam bought 10 million dollars worth of tickets and won over $500.
So he just stole tickets pretty much.makes him a thief not a gambler.
People should understand that behind every ticket there is a hugely experienced team of mathematicians ensuring that the chances of you profiting from the lottery are kept extremely low.
Yes and now with computer generated systems. You literally have little to no chance of winning the lottery. I bet this guy was playing the same number multiple times, hoping for a huge payout. This will never happen.
Wait, why hasn't he cashed in the tickets?
BECAUSE HES AN IDIOT
Because none of them are winning ticket 😂
If you watched the whole video they say he doesent have to pay back the money for the un-cashed tickets.
He doesn't have to pay back the remaining money that he owed. My thing is, can he get back the money he paid already?
I actually don't understand this. How can he print however many tickets he wants with no money? I'm a little confused. Anyone care to explain lol?
22244crash he owned a convenience store with the machines. He could print as many as he wanted. The problem is he would be responsible to remit the money to the state for the tickets. He never did and got caught.
Ah ok thank you. Makes sense now.
The tickets never won so they didn't care
@@EricSmyth2Christ lol , so if that's the case , let me play for free as much as i want , if i dont win i dont owe them anything :D if i win i am gonna pay the price of the tickets , huh ?
@@enteuegenten thinking the same thing, how do they think the lottery makes its millions or billions, from free tickets?
I feel for him my God 😭 three years ago he has to be OK now I hope . 🙏🙏🙏 prayers
Can’t blame him because I lost $500k in 8 years playing slots. Addiction is bad.
So sorry to read that... its a lot of money! Are you addiction free now?
If I had 1 million dollars to spend on lottery I would not be buying tickets.
"The house always win''.
the lottery is for suckers
you mom sucks
i agree man.
lmao
not necessarily
I don’t know where I heard it.. lottery is like a tax on poor people
Sad story god bless him and help him
I certainly would not spend that kind of money on the lottery. I would keep that kind of money.
glennard coleman Agreed i would spend a 2 dollars a draw but why million dollars and it's not an addiction like Caffiene addiction which is a drug
he didn't, watch the video again
I lost my family gambling also. Thank God he delivered me from this addiction and satans clutches. Never laugh at another persons addictions. We all are addicted to something that has the capability of destroying us but some destruction manifest faster. I can never look down on a drug addict because in some ways I know what it feels like. Thank you to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for bringing me out of the furnace. Its been over fifteen years and no wife back yet but we know through you all things are possible
Curtis Ball how delusional
Guy Maimon get a grip, God is real. Ask him to reveal himself to you and he will. But you have to do it diligently and earnestly... If not, hell will be your eternity.
All wont be saved my brother. It is a very sad but true reality. God Bless!
Amen
My ball
2:16 This part remind me of that one Family Guy Episode. Have he’d check those tickets he would probably have won LMAO
This is a good example of how gambling is not about the money. He spent so much money because the buzz and the thrill was addictive. Gambling is one of the worst types of addiction to get under control. Such a sad story. Hopefully, he can rebuild his life again.
Hi miss, can I plz get a means of contacting u
At first I thought the box is full of money 💰
It's an addiction.
I know what an addiction is and what harm it permanently causes.

It was sad that he lost his family because of his addiction...you could feel his pain when he was talking about them...but he seems to be on a path to redemption...stay strong...you've got a chance to make a new start...
So glad the penalty was overturned but his recovery wasnt!
Is this guy aware that you have to scratch the ticket's in order to win lol
you can just scan the barcode
Or loose
If you take that 1 M and invest it right you’ll swimming in money
