So it's a dumbfounded myth stating that lottery money is cursed money. Some winners brought the curse onto themselves by their own choices and actions. Some used it very wisely.
I think the idea is that most people who are smart with their money and would actually know what to do with that kind of money wouldn't be buying lottery tickets in the first place. The vast majority of winners are lower income people who don't know how to save money effectively. So after they win they let the money control them instead of them controlling the money.
When you have never worked hard for in your life, and suddenly got so much money, it won't do anything good. People with millions worked their asses off for their fortune
@@affluorapersonally if I could win the lottery jackpot I prefer to win the Powerball power play jackpot or the Megaplier jackpot from the mega millions lottery a couple million dollars be enough for me $2 million dollars from the power ball power play jackpot or the Megaplier jackpot from the mega millions lottery like $2 million dollars,$3 million dollars,$4 million dollars or $5 million dollars jackpot after taxes I would be ok with the lump of sum plenty to start a small business building up a small million dollars a year business then build up 2 more businesses making two more million dollars a year Three million dollars a year one point five million dollars a year plus invest in stocks dividends companies and REITs and ETFs stocks dividends companies to make $200k a month each.
i havent bought any lottery ticket for over 20 years, and even then only a £1 at a time, coz i pretty much have all i want that i earned, and while buckets of cash would be great i suppose, i can't think how it would really improve my life, all it would do is buy trinkets i don't need, whilst bringing new problems, coz although you yourself may not change, what IS guaranteed to change is the people around you, and usually not for the better, at least i know who my friends are. GL
First I set up a trust to keep my name out if press. Next pay off my bills, fund college for all kids in family, buy my dad a 1956 Mercury, myself a 65 Mustang, set up scholarships at my and wife’s high school, build an apartment for families to get off street, pay off my church’s mortgage, and finally I’d go to wrestle mania.
So the first guy had to pay $358 million in taxes. Sounds about right you gotta love America. Seriously it's a joke when they say you won a certain amount. But we all know that's not true.
I don't know which guy you're talking about but none of them paid 358 million in taxes. The "billion" dollar jackpot (second story in) isn't actually a billion, that's the advertised annuity jackpot if you take over 20-30 years, which no one does. The cash prize on that is around $520 million, i.e. the actual prize. Taxes are highly dependent on what state you live in, but even in the highest tax states in the US you're not going to be paying $350 million in taxes on a $520 million jackpot.
Here's a thought for the biggest lottery winners. Build a church, or give to a single family or individual you may or may not know and change their lives forever. Not necessarily to make them rich. Enough to impact their lives at least. Say 50 grand to help them obtain a college education perhaps. Why? Well at least if your life spirals downward because of your "bad" choices or obstacles thrown at you after these winnings there will always be something that you can look back on and say "all my money was NOT spend in vain after all" and "at least I made an impact on someone by what I did with a small percent of the money I spent when I was able to". I mean sure the best thing to do for your very own self after winning a large sum of money is to "invest it properly", but for some people it's easier said than done unfortunately...
I dont get it they won so mutch money. For me 10 Millionen i whoud quit my job and live an easy live a little house or an appartement nothing fancy maybe 1 or 2 vacation a jear. And make shure i have a peacefull live until i die like with 80 or so. But these people wtf are they thinking....
at last, someone who knows the truth lol, we all need some to survive, and while none at all can bring proper misery, on a scale of what really matters in life it comes well down the list and doesnt bring happiness per-se, coz an unhappy person or fool with money is still and unhappy person or a fool. Having more money than someone else (even if it's earned & isnt a lottery win) can still lead to resentment as you know. GL
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Thank you Almighty Great FATHER for making me to win Euro million congratulations to me Yes its done and I thank you so much much Great FATHER ❤❤❤❤❤❤
If I win lottery, I will donate lots of Covid vaccines and booster shots to the people who has no access and also buy a nice quarantine place for everyone.
Looking at the videos of the winners, many were very overweight. I would think you would have a trainer and eat a little different if you expect to be around for many years to spend that money.
Why in hell whoud you start a Business if have like 200 Millions of Dollars? For what like didnt you have enough money already? Winnig in the Lotterie is a one time live experience and you should live like youre rettired. Not like an 15 jear old who find 50 Dollars on the street.
wow - she won $700M and donated $100K to the hospital.......c'mon love, ok - it's your money and good on ya - but that's like using toothpicks to start a campfire......
If the universe can grant me to win 900 million today I will take annually payments Fr I Thank GOD FOR WAKING ME AND KEEPING ME ALIVE THIS MORNING I PRAY TO HAVE FINANCIAL FRERRDOM
"A little bit of kindness can come a long way." Yes the way of the other person buying the winning ticket instead of you because you let them cut in line. A long way of staying poor that's what kindness get's you as we can see.
Scam , fraud and lawsuits follows the money. It’s hard to become anonymous. They knows what you have as it’s stored in the system. Question is, are you more safe before or after? Don’t judge that theese fellows made stupid decisions , I guarantee anyone watching and wishing that big amount chances are more into falling from grace to hell.
First of all David Edwards did not win $297,000,000 ask this commentator is stating on this video. He only won 27 million dollars total, took the lump sum, after taxes had 5 million and lost all of it.
You have the tales of horror all wrong if you didn't investigate the story don't do the story. Your just repeating what someone else said. Do your own thing and be original.
If I won I don’t plan on flaunting it, I will buy a better house and a few luxury items (like new cars and furniture)within the budget, but most I plan on putting in a trust or something else where I can live off of the earnings. If word leaked out that I was the winner I would then plan a trip to Las Vegas for at least a month giving people the impression I was gambling it all a way when in reality I’d e relaxing watching a few shows, maybe talking to a certain hot rod car guy in Vegas about getting a GTO 67.
haha so you'd rather be happier lieing & having people think for the rest of your life that you stupidly wasted your windfall rather than just be honest with them. I'd take the view that anyone who's attitute towards me changed to a point i didn't like wasn't a true friend anyway, and if that left me pretty much alone at least id know who was still around took me for what i actually was.
@@Bob-ts2tu would I want the gold diggers, scammers and other leaches think I blew all my winnings? Absolutely yes, and as I don’t have many friends the few I have would be aware of the deception. But if you think honesty will cause the greed of others I just mentioned to stop, you should look up previous lottery winners stories.
Gloria Mackenzie never tried to find the nice person who let them cut in line to say thank you and give them a little something. Then karma struck when her loser ass son (in video) ripped her off along with his lawyer friend. They lost a large majority of her winnings. That boat was bought by the son, not her. She let her son run the money and he lost it all.
I will travel the world stay low key for the rest of my life and live comfortably
I speak into existence 333,000,000 I will win the lottery big time ⌚
The UNIVERSE WILL GRANT ME OVER 200 MILLION IN THE POWER BALL OR MEGA MILLIONS LOTTERY!! GOD IS EVERYTHING! AMEN ❤️ 🙏🏾 MANY BLESSINGS TO ALL! 🎊
Congratulations on your new jackpot winning 🎉
I would be happy with $2 million!!! I would RETIRE immediately ☺
Ya you keep thinking that
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Have plans to use it wisely
So it's a dumbfounded myth stating that lottery money is cursed money. Some winners brought the curse onto themselves by their own choices and actions. Some used it very wisely.
usually only the rich or self made know how to handle money, a huge windfall on regular joe's doesn't bring the unfettered joy they expect.
I agree
I think the idea is that most people who are smart with their money and would actually know what to do with that kind of money wouldn't be buying lottery tickets in the first place. The vast majority of winners are lower income people who don't know how to save money effectively. So after they win they let the money control them instead of them controlling the money.
Couldn’t agree more. People that mess it all up would’ve made bad decisions either way.
When you have never worked hard for in your life, and suddenly got so much money, it won't do anything good. People with millions worked their asses off for their fortune
The first two things i would do is “Shut up and Don’t Flaunt It”
I think I would take annual payments
No way. take a lump sum, invest it all and take annual payments from the money earned.
He wish he torn up the tikcet? He was already worth 17 mil before the lotto. He just got rekcless with that free money
People do stupid things with their lottery money and end up later blaming everything, everybody, and every circumstance, but themselves.
That's 100% what I plan to do 👍
Everyone will think I've disappeared off the face of the earth for the next 10 years. Selfish but I deserve it all to myself.

its still basically free money just take your blessing and keep it fucking pushing
I love daydreaming about what I'd do if I won the lottery. Money is the next best thing to good health.
Does money buy happiness?
@@affluorayes very simple answer.
chasing dopamine is NOT happyness
@@inquiddbut complete financial stability and security no matter what may come does bring comfort without chasing dopamine
@@affluora No but they can support it ;)
I will give back big time when I win $100, 000,000.00. Such a good feeling helping people and changing lives.
Thank you almighty Great FATHER
Stay humble. It depends who you are.
Remember, lottery winners are new money not old money.
I desperately need a home.I don't need much money.If i can win a lottery i will buy a house
I am the lottery jackpot winner. Speak what you SEEK until you SEE what you SAID
The lottery is not for everyone, this video proves it
I am a huge lottery jackpot winner
I would buy up my whole town and declare myself king.
Money amplifies your personality, both good and bad.
You can’t give an addict money! Very dangerous!
I will payoff my debts, set up a fund for my family, invest in real estate and remain humble.
Crazy amount of money I’ll work for mine and get rich on my own

David Edwards didn't win 295 million he won like 1/4th or 1/5th of that jackpot.
I was just thinking that's a hell of a lot of money for 2001
@@nlocnil3602 yeah, the amount he received on his bank account after taxes was like 27 million or something, if i recall correctly.
If I win lottery, I will donate lots of Covid vaccines and booster shots to the people who has no access and also buy a nice quarantine place for everyone.
Now its my turn to win
I want to win tonight.
Beautiful display why you cant give Money and power to weak ppl… most are not rich, because they arent able to handle it!
Fast money comes with slow problems 😅
Who is the girl in the thumbnail?
I thought the second guy only won 28 million
Sorry number 3 was accused from he’s wife This is wrong
These videos would be soooooo much better without the constant, idiotic STOCK-FOOTAGE inserted everywhere!!
I agree, we're coming back with better videos very soon!
@@affluora ☺☺ Thank you!
Real vid.s of lotto winners are scarce. They have vto show fake pic.s.
100k to a hospital..... After winning half a billion dollars. Huh.
Looking at the videos of the winners, many were very overweight. I would think you would have a trainer and eat a little different if you expect to be around for many years to spend that money.
Clifton does not look like that. Still a nice town though
Where is the thumbnail girl?
