Wow, that’s more money than my father made in his whole lifetime!

This is where I think someone else bought it and gave it to him to scan, he sees it’s a winner but says its not to the buyer. Lots of places busted for this back before you could scan your own ticket. Hope I’m wrong about this tho!

>He also plans to seek advice “from people who know about money” about whether to take the jackpot in 30 payments over 29 years or the lump-sum amount of $124,875,122.
Wise choice, hope it worked out for him.

Holding it out in his hands showing people is incredibly irresponsible. Have it in a lockbox, that shit is crazy.

Me as soon as I got that ticket on my hands to “check its validity”…

This was 15 years ago and he’s been out of the news since. Probably means he’s OK.

At first I would send that money to a bank and from there I would consider buying a flat, actually at leat 3 of them, in one I would live and those two would be investment assets for rent and then I would still work in my work if I had one. And then after a year I would see how much I can get of the bank from the interest rates I accumulated after a year, and decide if I can buy another apartment and during that time I would consider investments in the stock market as well. And all this would be in secrecy if that would be possible of course, so no one knows. And while that ammount would sit, I would have time to think what could I do with all of it.

The woman in the blue shirt probably was expecting something with that hug lol.

It’s kind of funny how the lady in the blue shirt is not sufficient to check the numbers, they need to call in a guy with glasses to do that.

Any particular reason they did all this in the parking lot?

And the shop that sells the ticket gets like 5% commission which is also life changing.

I’m glad he is now able to spend as much time as he wants with all his children.
Whether they live with babymomma nr 1, babymomma nr 2 or are the stepkids of his current gf, his life got a lot simpler.

Man, if I believed I’d had won that kind of money the original would be in a safe deposit box somewhere and I’d be walking around with a photo copy…
The original would go with me to the state lottery office after I knew all the t’s were crossed and i’s dotted.
