12tward Annual payments can be turned into a lump sum through numerous financial institutions that charge a high rate for the conversion. Many lotto winners have made the change and then wasted the entire sum within a year.
+Sulfen Indeed. I too would call my mom first, and tell her "mom, your going on the holiday that you dreamed of your entire life (which is a luxury cruise in the Caribbean Islands)!!"
Probably minimum wage. Had that been me I would have walked up to him shook his head in his head with a note that says call me when you get off the clock I want to take care of you because they ain't paying you enough they better not drop that note because I will be out of town it will put on that note that says write down your cash app give me six hours I'm going to put some money on the books for you and you ain't never got to work for minimum wage again LOL so I see it again he better not drop that note LOL
Atleast he's spending his money wisely! I'd give 10m to my mom, my brother 5m, and invest 99% of whatever I have left and spend the last 1% on myself and live off of the profits.
I hope they have the option to stay anonymous. If I win the lottery, I don't want anyone to know because your security is compromised as long as you live
I been playing the lottery with my credit card and just yesterday i got informed that if you win the millons with a credit card ticket you can't collect ya price
I would've taken the annuity also as and insurance policy to protect myself from myself and friends and family. Even though I'm pretty good with money and don't want much but, you never know?
Thank you lord for blessing my brother with such an incredible amount l hope he gets help from financial advisers and that he invests well. Come to Africa brother and own ur own diamond mine.
If you play often, just get a mega millions subscription. Ive had it for about 2 years now and I love it. I payed $98 for the whole year, it plays automaticly 2 times a week for 52 weeks. You never have to check the numbers, and never miss a game. And if I win 2nd 3rd or 4th prize, I get a check automaticly mailed to me. Its great! look it up...
My thing is this, why all these personal questions to this man tho? So what, he lives in the projects, why are yall up in this man's business? !?! ? If I EVER win the Lotto, I would NOT be going through all this shit! Just give me my check and let me be on my way! No cameras, media or press, Period! Thank you!
If you win the lottery, generally you get two options, you get annual installments or you get it in one large lump sum. He went for the annual installments. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Personally, if I were in his position, I would've went for the annual allotments too. I don't trust myself with money, especially not in spending it.
@utprizzo but those payments aren't set aside for you and guaranteed... who knows what could happen? then they come up saying the payment can't be made from available funds, etc.
I agree with that. I don't understand why you would want to make your name known. The only people I would tell would be my parents and maybe 1-2 friends. As for this winner. I'm happy for him. He looks like a real cool dude and I'm sure he deserves every penny. More power to him.
Look, California won again: 8/28/2010 One ticket matched all six numbers in the August 27 Mega Millions drawing. That ticket, which was bought in Morro Bay, California, wins the estimated $133 million jackpot 7/25/2010 Two lucky ladies from Southern California who work for an independent telephone company came forward this afternoon to claim a $64 million MEGA Millions jackpot. The pair matched all six numbers on July 16.
The masks these days sure does come in handy with upcoming lottery winners. Add some sunglasses with it and you're ready to roll ,to go claim you're check ! ☺☺
Who in the world could go to sleep after winning $168 million dollars. I would have been awake til I was holding that oversized check.
10 redbulls and sum kush n jolly ranchers
Me too...
He was confident God gave him those numbers. And he probably wanted to enjoy the last few days of being a regular joe.
Same person who would go live on tv after winning the lottery
Seems like a good person. Good for him.
How many people are just looking at lottery videos because of that big Powerball jackpot? I've learned a lot of do's and don'ts too from these videos.
+PONCHODAGOD lol that 1.5 billion dollars
me too
Meeeeee👋👋👋
Me too
YEA,THERE ALL BS,LOL
Congrats brother!
Save and spend *wisely*.....!
He's probably spent every cent already. Watch for his bankruptcy story next week.
TomZentra He was wise and took it in 26 annual payments, so that's not possible he has a couple years to get it right.

@@12tward do you know him personally to be that judgmental?
this man really deserve this money
bless u for that comment brother...who ever u are
Latreal McDaniel 😊☺
WHY.??
He seems like a really nice guy. Congrats dude!
"who did you call first?"....."My Momma" .....lmao
Id do that too. She might be the only woman on earth that would not try to back stab you 100% guaranteed.
my momma for sure.
+Sulfen Indeed. I too would call my mom first, and tell her "mom, your going on the holiday that you dreamed of your entire life (which is a luxury cruise in the Caribbean Islands)!!"
I would call "yo mama"

It will be me one day.
Did u won?
me too.
Remain Anonymous.
yupp
Not allowed in NY. You MUST reveal yourself and have your name and hometown be on public record.
+Short Names true but you dont have to show your face
You can do a trust or something like that so that you can keep your identity safe
kemp Davis Yeah but a lot of those celebrities you mentioned aren’t even worth over 100 million dollars
$4M after taxes a year for 26 years is great! That's $1M every 3 months or about $100,000 a week or just under $14,000 per day for 26 years!!!
i wonder how much that dude gets paid to dress up as a powerball
Not much usually. I can see a high school student making money off that but a fully grown man.....that takes deflated balls.
They pay him in rice😂
Probably minimum wage. Had that been me I would have walked up to him shook his head in his head with a note that says call me when you get off the clock I want to take care of you because they ain't paying you enough they better not drop that note because I will be out of town it will put on that note that says write down your cash app give me six hours I'm going to put some money on the books for you and you ain't never got to work for minimum wage again LOL so I see it again he better not drop that note LOL
Good for him he looks like someone who has worked hard in his life and it is nice to see him win
This man seems like A very good person to me. He deserves it :).
i feel good for him
WHY,THIS IS JUST AN ADVERTIZEMENT,LOL
Congrats to James Groves..you deserve the best!
WHY.??
@@fiddlesticksbessette398 why not?
Another life changed! I hope one day to be blessed like that.
Atleast he's spending his money wisely! I'd give 10m to my mom, my brother 5m, and invest 99% of whatever I have left and spend the last 1% on myself and live off of the profits.
Don't give your brother nothing or just give him what he in need 4 trust me I know
+Craig Moore Let me have a guess: you would spend it on weed and booze parties, right? Have a guess who the real loser is, huh.
He deserves it... So humble
He seems like he's going to do well not solely for himself but for his family and community. I really respect that
Congrats brother. Smart move choosing the annual payments. I know I would have.
He deserve it congratulations
WRONG.ALL BS.
NEVVVVVER DISCLOSE WHERE YOU GOING TO BE LIVING!!!
I hope they have the option to stay anonymous. If I win the lottery, I don't want anyone to know because your security is compromised as long as you live
in nyc you have to reveal your identity. it helps sell more tickets to show real, actual winners
Very calm about it. Hope it stays that way.
I been playing the lottery with my credit card and just yesterday i got informed that if you win the millons with a credit card ticket you can't collect ya price
I wanna win the lottery to have my own farm :))
LOL..
It's not to late
Very cool guy, hope the win brought him peace and happiness. Always so sad to hear when people lose it all!
Great guy ❤
All I need to do pay off my bills, give to my parents and take care of my 7 year old son.
Dude is extremely humble and planned an using for stuff that matters. Not just jewelry and partying.
I love it when nice people win lotto! :-)
Glad he won he is level headed
Happy to see a normal pesrson win ! Hope so much money doesn't change him.
Feel good story. love it
What a humble man. I hope the money doesnt change him
It did. I'm in his family.
@@cericethomason7180 how did it change him?
I would've taken the annuity also as and insurance policy to protect myself from myself and friends and family. Even though I'm pretty good with money and don't want much but, you never know?
i am very happy for this man
This is the smartest move anyone can do. If you can’t handle 4mil a year/ 320k net a month, you won’t handle 60-70million
Thank you lord for blessing my brother with such an incredible amount l hope he gets help from financial advisers and that he invests well. Come to Africa brother and own ur own diamond mine.
Wonder where he is now. This was 2009.
that takes a lot of "balls" if I may, staying in NY after winning that.
now this is the type of guy that deserves a little break not some millionares
My Man: Congratulation brother. May God bless you and all your love ones with great health, love happiness and wisdom.
8 years ago as of now wonder what's happened
I met him when I worked for directv last year .. he got a big house in the Bronx
If you play often, just get a mega millions subscription. Ive had it for about 2 years now and I love it. I payed $98 for the whole year, it plays automaticly 2 times a week for 52 weeks.

Well deserved hard working man.
Good for him!
Stay humble and true, do whatever feeds your soul and make it last .
Good man!!, hope your money brings lots of benefits to people, enjoy x
IT WONT,THIS IS AN ADVERTIZEMENT ONLY,LOL...I'M SURE'
My thing is this, why all these personal questions to this man tho? So what, he lives in the projects, why are yall up in this man's business? !?! ?

*YOLAAAAANDA VEGAAAAA!*
Tell nobody
That's the best advice
NOTHING TO TELL,ALL BS,LOL
God bless!
he's not bitching about the odds of winning, he took a chance like everyone else
This guy is probably somewhere in a mansion with hella snowbunnies running around the crib.
Generation changing money
If you win the lottery, generally you get two options, you get annual installments or you get it in one large lump sum. He went for the annual installments.

Wonderful story enjoy!!!!
I am so happy for him.
i call my mama too, first woman ill ever thank before god
Glad for u bro
I wish I hit the jackpot like him
He is one lucky winner
WHY.??
he deserves it, good man he seems
RIGHT,WHY DO IT SEEM THAT.??
@JackHaynes30 not really, he gets the money in 26 annual payments of $6,000,000. So he can't really blow it all
right when he said the first person he told the video froze to load... idk why but it made it hilarious!
He seems grounded. Awesome
depends on what state your in.
good for him seems like he wants to help family and community
I like when he said I went to bed,slept,wake up again and again to check the lottery ticket Lolllll..
But what about all the people trying to sue? Beg, con you, making threats, saying you owe them?
And thats just your family.
seems like a good guy.. good hit there
@utprizzo but those payments aren't set aside for you and guaranteed... who knows what could happen? then they come up saying the payment can't be made from available funds, etc.

im winning this lotto tonight, and im bringin hockey back to MSG
How can you fall to sleep at all knowing you won lol I'd be up everyday until the money hit my hand
good for him, nice guy, good NYer
@fishrcoolturtles2 I think he said that only cause he was on a New York station. He probably moved to Cali by now.
My dude is set for a lifetime
Congrats!
I wonder if he is still happy...?
I bet he is 🎯
NO.
@@fiddlesticksbessette398 how do you know? Are you living with him?
Exactly.
I'm glad he wants to contribute more to his community instead of excessively spoiling himself. Good stuff!
Where he at now
Humble man good for him and I know he will do the right thing,soon I will win the super lotto jackpot and have a great time with friends and family.
I will be a millionaire by the end of the school year #millions
Well?
Did it work
Sike!
Are you a millionaire
I AM THE LOTTERY JACKPOT WINNER...
"i dont live in the housing projects, i used to but i no longer liver there, uhhh im looking at the bronx..............." fail
That's sad that his wife & kids killed him. From lottery winner to a burnt body in the trunk of a car. 😔
What?! Really?!
If I won that, my life would be over. People who you don’t know will target you and your friends and family will turn on you out of envy.

@coldbedsheets That's a valid point.
@TheRemedy2012 That was me. I'm from Florida and I won the jackpot. I haven't cashed my ticket yet.
The masks these days sure does come in handy with upcoming lottery winners. Add some sunglasses with it and you're ready to roll ,to go claim you're check ! ☺☺
Congratulations,
Your the Boss now.....
Good for him. Hope he does well with this money.
Congratulations 🎊 🎉 🎈 🍾 !!!
he imagined it,he asked for it,he believed it.He got it.
You go jimmy spend it wisely. Congrats.
The Asian guy is adorable. And congrats to the black dude who won the lottery.
