@@sibongilemdakane907 Lotto jackpots in SA aren't that big compared to Canada? Right now the Lotto Max is 70 Million,, that's as big as it gets for now.
I just wanted to say thank you for posting this series online for everyone to watch. I enjoyed watching all the ones you have posted. Moreover I like looking up the people in the videos to see how they are doing or what they are up to now. The ones who have opened up restaurants unfortunately have sold them or they went out of business. Mostly the latter. This show isn’t easy to find online so it’s nice again big thanks.
Watching this makes me realize how lucky I am. I was born into riches…if you wanna put it that way. And I’ve spent a lot of my life creating problems…since I don’t have money problems. The sad thing is…there are people 80 years old right now…born into a rich family…that has spent most of their years of their life depressed and don’t even realize the luck they were born into. I feel my family takes everything financially for granted and my fear now…is that I will one day forget AGAIN how lucky I am and conjure up more problems to be depressed about
This is what I watch whenever I'm stressed out at work. I dream of winning and quitting my job. Build a cozy home somewhere peaceful and sunny. I dream of traveling the world and volunteering 😢
What the hell do the government get half and then tax is paid on the remaining??? What a rip off. In Australia, any lottery win is tax free. You only pay tax on interest made on your winnings because that's considered income.
Your choice to take half. They advertise the before tax because it sounds better and gets more people talking about and buy more tickets. Other countries take the taxes before they advertise the jackpot size.
Did you give back to any charities or pay it forward n any way? I know a lot of ppl say they’ll do that if they won a lump sum of funds, I say I would , I’d love to give to St. Jude’s and the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation! As well as Breast Cancer Awareness…just specific charities that are close to my heart, the ASPCA as well. ❤❤ I know it’s all very different once you actually get the money!
I know right! I remember one morning my fiancé burst in and woke me up saying his 90 year old grandmother had gotten a letter from publishers clearing house and she had won like 2 million dollars she just needed to call a number. I was like are you stupid??? If she actually won pch they show up on your doorstep!! Of course they called the number not believing me and as soon as a foreigner answered they hung up. I told her block the number, don't answer the phone for random numbers. I knew immediately it was a scam. They wanted so bad to believe it was real. Pretty sure the letter had a check on it they wanted her to deposit or something. I don't remember but I was baffled 🤦
27:10 GTFOH!!! The ex wife doesn’t deserve a penny after what she did to him!! Making him lose absolutely everything he had! Wow! I’d be fighting that shit!
_Jonathan Vargas, WOW, he forget the 5 rules after winning the lotto, #1 No publicity, #2 Hire a Financial advisor #3 Finical planner, #4 Accountant and #5 A tax advisor, all before you spend your money on anything big, over 100K, they would all tell him Lease or rent the cars, and don't invest in a wrestling company unless your buying stocks, the moment he had to move back in with his family and not into his own apartment, confirms he's broke._
I’m with you on that one. There is no way that kid would move back home unless he was broke. Everything he did was to cater to his own ego. The wrestling the dating shows. He wanted to be famous. It just seems so foolish regardless of his age. Just because you win a lot of money doesn’t make you smart. I don’t know why he did not seek investment advice. He could have funded all that nonsense with the return on his investments. He is just another cautionary tale.
You get the full amount only if you take payments over 25 years. If you want to take a lump sum, you get about half. And depending on the state you live in, you have to pay tax, which could be as high as 50% depending on the amount you have won.
When you taker the lump sum your winnings are reduced/ The lump sum is only 61% of the advertised price. So from the 8.2 million was reduced by 39% to roughly 5 million. Taxes further reduced the amount to 2.3 million
@@olgakavalieratos7220 Makes better sense to take it over the 25 years, and pay little tax on that if you have to. Plus you have better spending control of the money also.
It’s a shame how much is taken from their winnings! To go from 8.2 million dollars down to 2 million dollars is outrageous…even though I’d be perfectly content with a winning of 10,000 dollars 😊😊 shit! I’d be happy winning 1,000 tbh! I’ve played several times and the most I’ve ever win is 100 bucks 😊❤ I was so excited! My husband had gotten me one of those Valentine’s Day ones with all my gifts on Valentines Day! It was a 1 dollar scratch off! I felt like a millionaire! ❤😊😊😊😂 it’s funny how I’m not envious of these winners, I’m happy for them, especially those who do it right! Like Rob and his family! Even the 19 year old did well! He helped his family …I’ve seen some who are bankrupt after winning multi millions! It’s insane! I will never understand how the heck you could ever spent 100 million dollars in a lifetime! I mean I know HOW…I just don’t understand WHY you’d WANT to. I know you can’t take the money with you when you die, but why go so broke you lose everything?!!?
*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 inflation*
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the crypto market as it's more profitable. I make a good amount of money per week even though I barely trade myself.
37:25 look how normal they live they didn’t go out and buy a mansion and a bunch of luxury vehicles and have to show off that they have a lot of money. People need to understand that money is the root of all evil money can also be what saves lives, and in this case it clearly dead God bless.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You gotta be extremely anti-talented to do that lol. He took home what, $11 million? He could have spent $6 million on all the houses, vehicles, jewelry etc. he wanted and then used the remaining $5 million by spending $100k/year for the next 50 years without needing to work a day in his life lol. Insane...
@@firelordplayz they did stats back in the 90s of so many jackpot winners, and 80% go bankrupt in 4 years. It's so easy to think your money is unlimited cuz it's such a large amount.
I feel bad for that retired doctor and his wife. Jamaician lottery scams are common everywhere. Moral of the story: if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
because the other amount is lame and allows people to spend all their money quick. i'd invest with most of it and make more than the annual payments anyway
I just don't understand how a Doctor is stupid enough to fall over something like that. Literally, you never have to send money to win money. That's crazy, and I would never send money just randomly either like. Why wouldn't they ask the police? Or I mean, no one deserves to get scanned but if he didn't have the brains to figure that 1 out and he's supposed to be a Doctor I'm very worried for his patients.
What a waste of money he thinks he invested in. I would have invested in real estate and have the money earn interest while sitting in savings so i never had to work again.
I am curious to know how lottery taxes work.. That is over half. Doesn't make sense. The sad truth is even 10 grand would change my life. I am not bad with money I just dont make enough to ever really get ahead. It sickens me someone could win that much and just blow it. There should be an age minimum just like with trust. What 19 year old wouldnt go crazy?
The guy heard a voice telling him the lottery numbers hahahaha like come on!!! Someone in the spirit realm gave him the number to win money. The interesting question to know is. Was it evil or good that gave it to him? I wonder.
The lottery is a fool's game---Only half of money is paid out ( state government keeps half & pays out half)--Then the IRS claims half of the payout in federal & state income tax.
@@Josh-vs7gx I agree-- however, 3 out of every 4 dollars paid into lottery, go into government funds. No game in Las Vegas is allowed to keep so much. Slot machines are allowed to keep no more than 15% of collections; however lottery is allowed to keep 75%.
