- Inside Edition captured the moment when an elated woman appeared at a Los Angeles market, claiming she won the billion-dollar Powerball jackpot. Stunned spectators offer her hugs as reporters try to get answers. The sobbing woman says she came to the store to thank employees but left after seeing all the crews and reporters. Although the store owner says he does not recognize the woman, his stepdaughter says the woman could be the real deal.
Ain’t no way I would be out showing my face to anybody
Exactly! She just made herself and her mom targets.
🤡🤡
@@otrebla8944 how?
Hello, never, never will I let people know, when I win
@@Lubin-md4mlLots of distant relatives showing up, strangers camping outside your house to ask for money, friends asking for money, actual thiefs...
That's why if you win do not show your face if possible
Smart thing to do is remain anonymous and hire an accountant. I hope her and her family use the money wisely and live a happy life.
They can't remain anonymous is California, they have to reveal their identity
And an attorney.
I would spend it on robux and a pool
Yes, attorney
@@otrebla8944 yes
First thing she did wrong was make it publicly known
She has to, it’s required
@@od2437 I pray for her safety then. But with all that money she could hired an army of bodyguards, accountants, and lawyers.
Better changed her names too
Never ever show your face telling everyone very dangerous
I'm from Jamaica and showing your face after winning the lottery is a sure death sentence. That's why you had the guy who wore the scream mask and the lady that wore the smiley face emoji mask.
When I go out I'd wear a mask to protect my identity
Congrats to her. I pray for her safety and her family.
She needs to move out of her town asap once she gets her money. She gonna have people outside her door steps pretending to be her friend so they can get free loans off from her and then says “Oh you got 1 billion dollars can you please lend me 100k to help pay for the house bill”
@@coffeelink943 I agree. She is now in a very difficult position. She must trust no one. And avoid social media and people who wants to meet her. I hope her and her family could identify people in their lives who suddenly reached out to them with sweet words in exchange of those possibly hoping to be given money.
Very true, she has created more problems than ever by showing her face to the world, let her move to Africa for safe heaven expecially in kenya Masaai mara
It's not her
not a winner!
I hope this doesn't ruin her life, and she spends her money wisely!
I feel like it's hard to spend 1bn
500 mil after taxes
Wisely? We all have our own definition of wise. If that was her car, I already believe she is all about spending a lot of money on nice things.
@@someguy9778actually about 300 ish million

One of the worst things you can do is reveal your identity before you plan your disappearance
she should pack up and quickly leave for Cuba..
@@fidelcatsro6948omg cuba lol? Maybe middle east
Yep, I’m thinking she wants the attention.
Nah not even remotely
@@Halloffamer-km9qw Cuba could use the investment to build up the economy
Skid Row Billionaire…that’s hilarious. 😂😂😂😂
Don’t tell anybody you won the lottery because they have hatred and jealousy 💯
Worst thing to do is reveal yourself. I’m sure the shock and excitement got the better of her but hopefully she will immediately hire security and an attorney.
Winner or not she's got thousands of people hounding her right now. Exposing herself puts a giant target on her and her family
@@SnowPiercer1975yeah I would’ve asked them to put the cameras down and not act like I won it because that will happen.
Mark my words, this will be an hoax. No person that legitimately wins such a huge lottery would be making a public show of it on camera. Then she will claim 'mental illness' for her lie.
@@arcanum_01if so, that was very nice of him. Need more people like that.
She’ll have to reveal herself anyways since that’s the rule.
But once she gets the money, just move out
Rule 1 of winning the lottery: never tell people you won the lottery 💀
Rule 2 never tell people you won the lottery
Rule 3 go back to rule 1
@@thaimassage23 you can’t, there law that you will have to be revealed publicly as lottery winner in certain states.. it sucks
@@coffeelink943but what’s the reason ? I don’t get it, being exposed is a security risk so why is it illegal not to show yourself ?
@@iShareGaming7some lottos allow you to be anonymous, but they take a certain percentage from your winnings.
@@iShareGaming7and the lotto corporations want the winners to be revealed for promotion and “transparency.”
"I'd like to thank the academy." Someone give this woman an Oscar.
But why would she fake it? What could she possibly gain if she's not the real winner?
But she legit crying tho
@@dawnking7717 Oh, you must have meant 'fame'

@@moneyguy2008 It will be harder to tell her it's fa u ido If she's crying, so she had to Fake it If she was calm They will already look at her as if she know if it would to good to b true a man can't pull that off cuz he's a man do u have any other dumdnxx questions?
May God protect her at all costs from the people trying to get her money.

@@leroyjenkins7968 We all know how this will end up anyways Inside Edition will leak where they live to put their family or themselves in danger just for their taxed money to get them killed.
She needs security immediately
@@anthonymercado8126video is on social media and they got her license plate driving away. anyone who recognizes her too could be a danger and who knows what lengths people will go to to find out where someone lives when that much money is involved.
I would have never went to the store with all those annoying camera people there. They were in her face and it’s already an overwhelming moment. They have no respect for boundaries whatsoever.
She definitely should have stayed anonymous. But, I’m SO happy for her and I truly hope she has good people in her life that will protect and guide her through this significant life change! ❤️
Omg shut up. She was a crazy person. She didn't win and she literally just wanted to be on camera.
Imagine if she was just putting on a show and the real winner is someone else.....😂
EXACTLY lol
That’s exactly what happened 😐
“Claiming the jackpot is hers.” Tells me everything I need to know.
Mark my words, this will be an hoax. No person that legitimately wins such a huge lottery would be making a public show of it on camera. Then she will claim 'mental illness' for her lie.
The lady's mother bought the ticket. So the daughter says she's the winner. Right.
@@paulchezkari6952If her mother won, SHE WON 🤡
Doesn’t seem like she needs to win the lottery
Well it’s her moms so it’s hers ! They all won ! Her family won period ! She deserves it /they deserve it 😢❤
If she actually won, that's the dumbest thing you could do!
Why?
@@toddsmith1969if you announce that you won a billion dollars then people will want to come for you because of your money
@@M.O22well the lottos make the winners public anyways 😞
@@rando4998and that's why someone wore a costume because of that, so would I.
Apparently it was her mom that played with her. She happened to be at the store when they were announcing the winning numbers etc. So if its true, she just couldn't hold on her emotion from the surprise. It looks like a legit reaction though we will have to wait and see
She definitely won, realized the risk of making it public so early, and then left.
She didn't even win it - ticket is still unclaimed 🤦♂️
I cant imagine the state of that woman if they announce someone else won that jackpot...
O U C H . . . . . . .. . .
You wont need to when they announce the real winner later this week and its not her 🤣
@@sierrapeaks😂😂😂😂
Right‼️ 😂
@@sierrapeaksthe tears spent will definitely not be the last if that happens.
The "Skid Row" woman jumps into her BMW and takes off ... lol!
Seeing her cry made me wanna cry… I hope she does win
fake
I always hope that whomever it is who wins these big jackpots is deserving (meaning a decent person) and will appreciate it and not let it ruin their life. It makes me really happy when I see someone kind and deserving win these. I also hope she doesn’t get taken advantage of.
“Anyone who claims to be the winner isn’t valid until we say it is”
Everything needs solid prove.
You must take the real winning ticket to the lottery office
Pretty sure this isnt the recommended protocol after winning 1.1 billion dollars
The winners face isn't there though.
Yeah uh.... She's not the winner. She's just related to Jussie Smollett. 13%of the entire country is. How'd you not know this by now?
I wish her well. I hope someone doesn't sue her like many of those money hungry people that take you to court asking for a share of the money
not the winner!
That's why we have something called a "TRUST"
I would NEVA annouce myself as the winner. I would take my winnings and move far, far away from the hood 😭😭😭
California sure has alot of winners! Congratulations to the lady and her mom!
It’s the “California Lottery” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Have to move there to win.
California has the highest tax bracket and there’s more ppl with money in California than any other place in the world. Most millionaires and billionaires for example and high paid families. Maybe this is why the lottery is bigger here. But I don’t play lottery nor gamble nor care for riches to each their own.
Because the fix is in
Probably because they have the highest taxes 😂
I would keep this as quiet as long as I possibly could. By the time the news broke, my location would be undisclosed and all contact information changed.
Invisible winner.. 🍿😂🍿
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN!
So basically follow the protocol as someone under a witness protection program. Re-name, relocate and release the dead weight (expendable relatives, acquaintances & associates).
New TikTok trend, “Act like you won the Powerball in front of the news”.
No way I would blast myself like that, in front of the 🌎
I would not put my face on blast for the world to see if I won the lottery
Winner is public record, you can't stay anonymous. I would pay someone to claim it for me so I can though.
You can’t by law, lottery winners can not be anonymous, however only in some states not all
@@toddsmith1969 you can’t, they will assume it as fraud or thief, there a law in certain states the winner has to come upfront and claim their money publicly revealed. It freaking sucks man, state like California for example ”For example, in California, where a winner has yet to come forward to claim a Powerball ticket worth $2.04 billion sold in November, disclosure laws require the California Lottery to share the winner’s full name and where they bought the ticket.”
She’s making a big mistake showing herself and now everybody knows the car she is driving. First thing she need is to hire a security.
Gambling creates greed, jealousy and envy! It is also highly addicting.
If I knew I also won a BILLION DOLLARS, I would not know how to react, I might just have an heart attack right there but I dont think announcing it for literally the whole world to see is the smartest way to do it
If I won the Lotto I would definitely not show myself. Becareful with your winnings. Congratulations 👏
looks fake lol
She let everyone know?? She's brave. Every thief in the neighborhood would now target her house. 👁👄👁 She better have a good luck in her house
congrats to the IRS for winning at least half of that
Bless her. She is so excited with joy ,she can't contain it.
Acting.
0:51 "Hold on to that ticket! Run for it Charlie! Run straight home and don't stop until you get there!"
XD
Obviously she is not ready to collect it properly and I pray for her safety
Claiming to be the winner in public is the first mistake, I would remain anonymous if I was the winner..
Nice!! Congratulations to her and her family 🎉🙏🙌👏
You wouldn't see me! Good for her.
Not a very wise thing to do. She should of remained anonymous. Possibly putting her family in danger. Winning that kind of money you definitely have to move differently. Glad she won and wish her the best.
When the crowd got thick, she peaced out like Charlie Bucket! 🎫 🎩 🍫
“Imma go thank the store with news coincidentally there”
Oh no! She was a fool to show herself if she is the winner. If I won, I'm taking selfies with the ticket, signing my name then seeing a financial advisor to form a trust. No way in hell would I let off I won so publicly, that's just shouting "come rob me!"
I'm on my way....
Oh yes just like being a celebrity is saying come to me from music artists to actors
Well if she’s NOT REALLY the winner until they validate the ticket, then those tears 😭 were not in vain.
lmao
Blessings to whomever won! May they do wonderous things with this spectacular abundance! 💓
or just pray u make it to heaven lol
If that was me, my own mother wouldn't even know I won the lottery.
She's really happy for someone who's mom bought the ticket.
I would be too if my mom is rich WE rich. If I’m rich WE rich.
Its a Billion dollars..... surely some of that is coming her way😂
@@PorshiaVonne Yup if my mom wins or if I win WE rich!
What?
It's her mother..you act like her mother won't make her a millionaire..I'd be happy too
Im thinking I would do the same thing! I would be so excited and grateful for the store and the clerk selling me the winning ticket! Id be jumping crying and screaming just like her! God bless her and her family!
Let me tell you, she won't live long enough after this stunt of hers lmao
The store that sold the ticket I think gets 1% of the winnings! If so, that’s $10 million dollars for that store!
It’s always only 1 million.
@@AuToBoLic1 million just? 95 % WORLWIDE MORE 8 BILLIONS PEOPLE NEVER WILL HAVE 1 MILLION DOLLARS BANK ACOUT ALL TEIR LIFES WORKING MY FRIEND ALL THEIR LIFE 8 BILLIONS PEOPLE
so happy for her and her family may they get everything they want in life and more ❤❤
They would, until their faces and information has been revealed publicly. That already means people will come after for her money and then try to get free loans off and backstabbed her later on
nope! Wheres the winning ticket?
She found out it was a $2.00 winner
she has great acting skills im sure spielberg will cast her in his next blockbuster as a leading lady 🤭🙄
She not the winner she off her medication 😂
Good for her!!! But I wouldn’t do this in public at all!!! I would’ve kept it to myself
The winner went from sleeping on the streets to living in Beverly Hills. 🙌
Inside Edition - “Could this woman be America’s new billionaire??”
IRS - “I’ll take 37%…”
Inside Edition edit - “Could this be America’s new 1/3 of a billionaire??”
If she actually turned out to be the winner let's come back in a year and see if she has any money left over.
I bet she turns into one of those horror stories about people winning the lottery and ruining their lives.
Nobody intelligent would walk into a room with this many people and cameras recording right next to skid row and tell them they won a billion dollars! 🥴
The IRS is going to take out way more than 37% I bet
She’s supposedly the daughter of the winner. I’m guessing we’ll hear about a lawsuit between the mom and her long lost daughter claiming that her mom owes her half.
@@austin.england she drove away in a BMW in the middle of skid row. Want to make a bet she's one of those people that own a ton of apartment buildings and never repair them?
@@jerseyjoyride1316 she was just an attention seeking wanna be famous girl I guess.
I’m buying my next ticket in California. This is the second winning billion dollar ticket that was won in the state.
Me and my girl said the same thing. We live in Houston and no one has won nothing here. So next time we’re driving that way for the next power ball.
@@MrBondSinatralos angeles always hits winners. Even on the instant scratch off tickets 🎟
I noticed Cali wins big jackpots a lot! I’m going to Cali to buy my MM ticket! Screw this!
@thedreadpirateroberts buy super lotto it's even better odds. 10 million is good. Don't get me wrong, 150 million would be better from mega millions, but I'd rather play it safe with super lotto, way way better odds. Walk away with something better than nothing.
@@kylohurtado6400 I see that it’s amazing how they win a lot.
Im glad she won and hope she changes her life and helps her friends at skid row
she riding on a bmw what does that tell you
She doesn't have any friends on Skid Row. That's the fashion district where store owners go and buy merchandise in bulk.
She rode off in a BMW. She is not on Skid Row. The store is by Skid Row.
She bought the ticket at the store close to skid row. She's not homeless open your ears and listen good😂😂😂
She drove off in a BMW😂😂😂
The IRS: that's our money, please pay us $250,000,000 please
If she is the winner, she is making sure everyone knows her business and will become a Target!!
A target so I'm guessing actors and music artists or any celebrity is a target right
@@jonathanguzman1073it has been a lot of cases where lottery ticket winners were targeted I pray she stays safe.
Wow!! Congratulations to her! 🎉❤️
dont believe everything on internet lol
Thank you very much for blurring her license plate! That was very thoughtful! 👍
Winning that would such a curse. Watch how all the family members and friends will start knocking on her door and begging for money. Her life just got complicated.
God bless her! I hope it is! Nothing is more satisfying then hearing that someone who needs it, won! Thank you Jesus 🎉❤
You guys make everything about jesus
@@Aden068That's kuz EVERYTHING is about God tho, Not You!!
"Needs it"? Just cuz she supposedly bought the winning ticket near Skid Row doesn't mean she lives on Skid Row. She drove off in a BMW, for crying out loud.
@@Aden068 God bless you
@@mike_404 thank you 😊 God bless you too! ❤️
Even if she’s the winner, she’s not a billionaire. The irs is taking a good chunk out of the winnings.
50%-60% lump sum an earned interest every year until your broke if you don't do the right thing.. 🍿😁🍿
I d still
Take it sheittttttt
@@202OneIt's only the lump sum and the taxes after that and that's it nothing else is required
Godbless her and her family.
someone said, "could you show us the ticket" lmao
😂
You know thy wanna rob her ass lmfao
Looks like an ad for her brand psychedelic water.
I hope this doesn’t ruin her life
She already ruined it by revealing herself
It definitely will
Cope. People that win the lottery don’t have their lives ruined. Yes there is some downsides to having a lot of money and yes they can regret how they spend their winnings but their life does not get worse.
@@NittyGritty420 i am coping lol i really don’t care about this. But I’ve heard a lot about bad things happening because they don’t know how to handle getting that much money all at once
IT WILL
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
WE HAD A POWERBALL WINNER YRS AGO IN NY AND APPARENTLY - MURDER WAS INVOLVED TOO
WASNT A HAPPY OUTCOME TOO
I would be hiring body guards and hiding from everyone, and I mean everyone before I cashed that ticket and if I could I would do it anonymously through lawyers
Why would you go back to thank them and act all hysterical making yourself a target.
Oh good for her. I REALLY REALLY hope good things comes from this.

she's so lucky.. congrats 👏👏👏
I wouldn't show my self on national TV if I won 1b
Good way to get all the people who known you in ur entire life ready to ask for money…. Good job 👍🏼
I don't even know her and I'm asking!
@@RecalledtoLifeLol, I second that! 🤣🤣🤣😭☠️
Honestly exposing herself infront of many is a reckless thing to do. Because she isnt the only one who wants that jackpot and anyone in the world is willing to get it, maybe through criminal means. She shouldve thought of that about her family and herself for their safety.
That's why we see celebrities getting jacked and hurt. Actors being gun down for money . Okay
The love of money is the root of all evil. Ppl forget all the bad things that resulted in most lottery winners. And how it didn’t lead to a happier way of life. To some it could have. But most don’t know what to do that they end up worse off than before they won.
Like a lot of lottery winners, if some people find out your certainly address they will get robbed. The reveal public law for winning lottery is soo stupid
Her hat does say Psychedelic water so maybe she was drinking it.
If you ever win the lottery make sure you keep it anonymously because the majority of people will be jealous of you, and things can take a wrong turn. No one needs to know your good luck.
Don't let this fortune destroy your good soul. Use the money in a right way and help others
If only the world would think this way instead of wasting on materials lol
Wow, she’ll see how many friends she has, exactly how many cousins, she’ll see all the friends she never knew or forgot she has. She should be more low key
If that was me I would just act stupid towards all of them. I would tell him it wasn't me. You got the wrong person? I'm going to work.
Congrats to her!!!
Hi! I want to play this game and I'm not in USA could you help me
So happy for her
It's so funny listening to this lady's over the top elation, mixed with the angry lottery representative's answer to reporters. A mix of the two extremes of human emotion.
She sounds stern and professional to me
She needs to get a tax attorney an accountant and a wealth manager and investment manager STAT
naaaah just keep all the money in the bank..
I’ll keep it under my mattress, I don’t trust banks more so somebody to advice me on how to “invest” it. NOPE!
@@marcusvonhohenlohethat’s not how it works the irs will know and come to collect the taxes no matter what, so if you win a billion you have a choice of getting paid yearly or all at once but all at once means the irs will get a fat tax on it
I think she’s been drinking too much “psychedelic water”
I wouldn’t show my face if i won the lottery no way that being said hope she and her family stay safe
I would not have went on national television or the internet if I won. Gotta keep a low profile. Very dangerous. But congratulations! Spend that money wisely!
Now everyone in her past will be looking for her
its fake
Her mom bought the ticket not her. I dont think its going to end well.
Especially a few months from now, when her mother "mysteriously" disappears from a Carnival cruise trip to the Bahamas.
