I would pray for wisdom
In other words, Wells Fargo wants you to take the lump sum and they’re gonna be the first ones you hear from after you win….because they want to be the ones to manage your money. LOL
First thing is move , catch a plane, leave with no one knowing, get a new unlisted cell but download the numbers till you get it all in place as she describes,,tell no one your life could be in jeopardy, live with in your means, lots of kind acts to needy
Well, I am tired of talking about money🥱so I am going to cry myself to sleep, AGAIN😴Goodnight all, and good luck!
Remember the movie, Brewster's Millions featuring Richard Pryor and John Candy? Well he had to spend 30 million dollars in 30 days without retaining any new assets when the period was up in order to inherit the real prize, which was 300 million dollars. Man, I can't even imagine what 300 billion dollars look like?💰💰💰💰💰
I am actually sitting here crying, because I spent my last $8.00 on the mega million and only won $4.00. I even got on my knees and prayed to God that he would let me win at least enough to move out of this house and into my own apartment, and to pay off my college tuition, but I guess he didn't hear me😢Now what? Good Luck to those who have won🍀
Marry that beautiful woman with the glasses😊😊😊
If I win I would pledge half of it to freeing Britney Griner. It's so sad how she is being unlawfully detained and separated from her wife. I will keep $20 million for my family and the rest I will gladly pledge to the election of Kamala Harris as our next President. It's about time we have a woman President and a woman of color would be icing on top of it.
Yah like i will listen to these idiots. No thank you.
I would take the option of the largest payout in the long run that would be payments that way is I spent the first payment then I would receive another one and try to use it wisely which each payment
It’s kind of sad that something as simple and straightforward as this needs to be written as a script and then read off of a teleprompter in a pre-written question format…. great advice nonetheless. I just think this could have been better done from the heart and not with a teleprompter.
I won back in 2018. It changed my life dramatically. I didn't know what to do with the money so I called my family first, the first thing they told me is to hold the money and spend it wisely. I was desperate to spend it, so I spent the $20 that I won on scratch off only to lose it. Changed my life, no gas money no I have to walk home.
I'd like to buy the world a Coke.
They forgot one – Keep it off shore
I’d help the world
So did anyone win or nah?
Better Call Saul™ 😉
You should keep winning the jackpot to yourself, to avoid all your long lost friends and relatives coming for your life
I hardly ever buy lotto tickets because it's such a low chance you win. I bought on my birthday. Good luck to everyone. We could all use that for good.
For one, you are not going to win a billion dollar lottery. If you took the cash option, and you are the only person winning it, you will take home about half of that after the lottery takes their cut and aunt IRS takes hers. That "team of professionals" will quickly devour the winnings that are left. Personally, I'd leave gifts in envelops and a latter to say I am ok and relocating to a few special people, get rid of the few things I own, go to the airport, pick out an interesting-looking destination, buy a ticket, land and start all over, not contacting anyone for about six months to a year.
I'm hoping to win tonight. Will get what I need and help others with the rest. It's in God's hands if I win its all for his Glory AMEN 🙏 🙌 ❤️
I will spend half of it on women and booze!!! And the other half I'll just waste!!!!
