RUN STRAIGHT HOME CHARLIE AND DON'T TELL ANYBODY
I appreciate you for sharing such video with good content here and i will keep following you because you're the best.
Yeah, been following world list for quite a while now..
I definitely want to get rich and stay rich in life.
Do you read as much as possible about potential investments and asks questions about them? If so, maybe you don't need investment advice. However, if you are busy with work, children, or other responsibilities, or if you feel that you are not knowledgeable enough to invest on your own, seek professional investment advice.
Some financial planners and investment advisors offer a comprehensive financial plan that evaluates all aspects of your financial life and develops a detailed strategy to achieve your financial goals.
I completely agree. I have been consistent with my profit regardless of the market conditions. I got into the market early in 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me, so I sold off. I got back in December 2020 and this time with guidance from an investment adviser who was recommended by a popular economist on a popular forum. Long story short, it's been years now and l've gained over $850k following guidance from my investment advisor.
Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor
If I win I'm quitting my job and staying to myself like I have been. I don't want anyone bothering me or asking me for any money. Don't try to be close to me after if you weren't before. Keep that same energy.
right?
Same here plus I value my privacy
You'll never win they are scammers and take advantage of gullible people like you.. did it ever cross your mind that there is too many players but no 1 ever hit? Well because they go around the players numbers. Stop wanting to be rich.. this life of ours is temporary...
You're better off giving your money to the homeless,..
True no one was your friend when your down. Why come around when I'm rich.
@@helenstokes1458 Exactly Helen!.💯
The odds are odds but there is always a winner and it could be you
True that. Just think of some things in your life that had ridiculous odds that came to pass. So you can never be too sure.
If feel for you and the rest of us. Theirs no way they will give that kind of money away trust me. Only hope we have is a smaller prize. They make you think that people win these big prizes by showing you a person on TV. Does anyone really know for sure who they are and if they received all of the money? Absolutely not. If your gonna fall for it fall easy with one or two tickets because even if they really do give away that money your chances at winning with one are just as good as if you had ten thousand.
@@nothinglessthanepic9902 Yep, you must be one of those trump* supporters with that attitude. Just don't play and you don't have to worry if it's real or not.
Or it could be Nicholas Cage ☺️
Yep!
there should be laws to protect lottery winners. so many horror stories and deaths.
I just turned 18! Now you know what im gonna do 😎
@@theshady8839 yeah not funny
@@dan-5678 lottery isnt fun? 🥺
Dan - Joe mama is funny
there are in most places but americans are crazy and would make it a conspiracy theory if they didnt show the winners (actually there are still ppl who believe the lottery is fake even with the press conference)
I won 35 million three years ago and it still feels good, i retired and enjoying life
for real? what's your name lol
more power to you I ope the best
Congratulations 🎈🎉🍾🎊
Awesome!! What odds did you hit? Lump sum net $13m left after taxes? Also how often did you game?
Wow
may the odds forever be in your favor....
Also......They live
Harjinderdhanjal
Thanks
thank you
If the odds were in favour of every person who viewed CZcams comments, there'd be a whole lot of lottery winners each winning about five bucks, lol, lovely sentiment though 🍻
“You are the right person to talk to”
2 years later: this lawyer is in jail for stealing his clients’ money 😳
Can y’all let the lawyer talk? I’m about to win and I need the advice
Right. Me too
Me 3
Ditto
21 gun salute to your confidence.
Anoying journalists. 😡
I actually won a scratch ticket for 1k a week for twenty years "Which I'm still collecting on for the next 9 years." I won 11 years ago and never needed a ambulance chaser once but they sure tried. LoL 😂
Thats awesome!
jay rider Congratulations that’s awesome. I’m sure having that extra cushion with today’s cost of living has been very helpful. God Bless 🙏💜✝️
@@SC-cb2pg 1000 dollars a week is a bit more than an extra cushion
Tangerine Tech I agree with you, for me it would be life changing....I live on less that $800 a month, I have a chronic illness and I’m on disability, it’s been real hard getting by on that to say the least, but for some people this would be extra money on top of what they earn, and maybe they plan on saving it for retirement, or it’s money to enjoy life each month, that’s all I meant.
You are so lucky
The first thing I do is make sure I signed the back of ticket.
LOL,DONT WORY ABOUT SIGNING ANYTHING,CAUSE YOU WONT NEVER,EVER,WIN,LOL..YOUR NOT IN THERE CLUB,LOL...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
@@fiddlesticksbessette398 So negative! My friend's dad won many years ago. he would've won the top jackpot if he would've picked the correct mega number. But oh well, $500,000 is better than $0. Never say never!
Right....

Stay quiet, pay off any bills or debt, move out of the country
So you going move to a strange very place good luck

Maybe once corona ends
In Germany lotto winner's identity is sealed by the courts. The press can tell what city you live in, if you're married, with children, what your employed at, but not your name. Also, lottery wins are tax free for ten years. You're only taxed on the interest it earns, so you have lots of time to figure out what you're going to do with it.
Färah111015 i still don’t get why the state requires you to come out in public
they’re basically putting your life in danger
Right. Constant harassment from gold-diggers, blackmail, kidnapping of loved ones. Of course, if you're married with children and a large extended family, the world is going to find out pretty soon.
@@AFR0MAMBA i guess to show that every thing is legitimate and not a fraud. And also a winner is the best advertisement for the lottery companies.
Does Germany do Lump Sums?
@@Vandicoupnope, Germany don't have that gigantic jackpots like US, but also The have better odds 1in140m. The jackpot barely reaches 15M because someone always hit the jackpot. I guess our highest jackpot was like 35M or something
First thing to do stay wide awake until I get my payment💸😉
@D may God be with me😲🙏🙏
D They said it only takes 2-5 days
@@RizzoDaManiac you get some money up front but it takes a little time to collect money from each state. Everybody will throw you credit in the meantime.
why does the state require you to come out in public??
@@AFR0MAMBA there are actually 6 states that allow anonymous collection. Some places you can also accept it through a trust which shows a person won but keeps you anonymous.
One thing he didn't mention and I had to learn by myself on my $250,000 win is how to say no at least five ways. After taxes I didn't have that much left and no way could I afford to give money away. So I learned to say no and still after two years have some of the money left.
first thing he mentioned is for winners is to be quiet. that precludes having to say no.
First thing : I’m gonna buy my momma a new house when I win . YES... WHEN I WHEN
DON'T TELL NO ONE!!!!
instead get grammar lessons
That would be kind of hard not to do oh, you won two hundred million dollars you have to tell someone sorry that would drive you insane to keep that kind of secret you couldn't sleep you couldn't focus you can do anything it would be unrealistic, you would have to find somebody that you can trust just so you can tell, just so you can talk to them about it. otherwise you will drive yourself crazy
JetStream195 they will find out anyway

Ironic that Kurland is now facing a federal indictment for fleecing all these lottery winners.
The temptation is too great, along with client stupidity.
I'm winning this 2020...👍

2021 total likes = ?
Knee High me too
The only winner this year is 2020. :(
Good luck, keep us up to date 👍
South African Powerball is mine tomorrow (18/8/2020) 😍😍😍😍😍
Love that positive attitude!!!
Never ever wake up early in the morning for work
My son has diabetes one. I would donate so ppl can afford insulin. Young ppl and ppl are dying because they can't afford insulin. That is my first thought.
Or you can pay taxes.
Then the price of insulin goes up
I am also i mom of a diabetic son. I would build a hospital and diabetic riserch center free for all diabetic kids. I am with you
connor hayes Look up Dr Schmidt & the Ketosis diet. He has great videos that explain how you can knock out diabetes with that diet. Also consult with your doctor before putting your son on the diet. But I'm almost certain that it will help your son overcome the disease. Cut sugar & carbs out of his diet. Good luck.
I pray you win ! My son has same.
I’d buy a house on a mountain and watch it snow.
That's cute. :3
Love this !!!
Copy ticket .. take pictures .. be quiet (someone planning to hold ya love one up) , choose good banking n research investment firms,write a will but don't disclose u have one (or your dead) and study safety wit all things n stay private n watch out for set ups
This was great, been searching for "lotto systems that work" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of this site *4 W i n L o t t e r y . C o m* Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Hey Mom i won a billion bucks!,.Thats nice sonny.
Don't go spending it all on some fancy record player!
Aww C'mon! but i want one! lol
I need less then 1% of that to get me out of poverty.
I heard that people wait for weeks before they cashed lottery tickets the next day I'm going in, the quicker my ticket is in the lottery company the safer I felt.
I agree, I buy it for the dream. I'm a Trucker and the daydreaming is just priceless 👍
She was starring at him like he was a prime rib
She like him lol
It's not IF; It's when I WIN. I'm SPEAKING what I SEEK until I SEE what I SAID...
Lol you haven't won yet 🤣
Chances are you never will
Or you could work a modest job and invest you money and easily be rich in 20 to 30 years
2 weeks notice due to "family emergency", pay off any debt, kids' college fund, buy a house (not a mansion) with new furnishings, bank the rest then disappear.
1st of January 2020. In my recommend, ITS A SIGN.
The first I would do is PRAISE THE MOST HIGH YAH, UNIVERSE, MY ASCENDED MASTERS, MY ANCESTORS, AND MY ANGELS!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
PRAY GUIDANCE, DIRECTION, WISDOM, AND DISCERNMENT
AND TELL NOONE!!!
First thing I would pay off my student loans they got my credit fooked up
*Oh no worries Sallie Mae will have it deducted from your check trust me*
First, oddly stare at the winning ticket. Next, dance around the room. Thirdly, faint - for a few minutes. Wake up and repeat. Then call a good lawyer.
Here in the UK, there is no tax to pay on a Lottery win.
It's great
When I win the First thing I’m doing is praying/thanking god. Then Changing my appearance, quitting my job, packing up my place and moving far away. Claiming my prize with wig/mask, leaving the state, paying my bills off and helping those r n need and giving back to ppl who hv alwaysssss remained genuine and on my team. Pay to Seek personal financial guidance from warren buffet and skip the middle man!!!! All while keeping god first and traveling selflessly to educate myself on crisis n other countries so I can save the world the best I can. I know I will win and that is what will save me from myself and save other ppl too n the mist of painful circumstances.
😇🙏🏽💸
I would do what God would want me to.
God wants hookers and cocaine. Jk you're going to heaven
start a new crusade and reclaim the holy land?
Have fun talking to yourself then while laying on top of a king-size bed of money!
You mean win souls for him?
GOD HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH MONEY.GOD IS GOD,THE WORLD IS THE WORLD,BY THE WAY IS FILLED WITH GREED.PRAY THAT YOU WONT WIN.MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL,AND NEVER WISH FOR LOT'S OF IT..
According to Lottery USA, the odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.6 million and the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Combine those two and the odds of winning both jackpots for more than a billion dollars comes out to 1 in 88 quadrillion. So, keep wasting you money folks!
*Haha lol but people are winning left and right and it could be anyone I'll keep on purchasing*
In Texas you have to check a box while you're buying your ticket if you want the annuity or the lump sum. Without the advantage of talking to a lawyer first so I like how Jason said to choose the lump sum. It's what I always choose.
If I win, I'll still be a cheapskate.
It is your life so go ahead👍
U say that now
Yea right. Wait u till the money hit your hand
BRUH
R. Kidd that's how you'd stay rich
My high school math teacher told us the first thing to do is get a lawyer and an accountant if we win the lottery lol
You realize the lawyer in the video giving advice is going to jail for stealing money from his lottery winner clients
I don't know if I still need to watch because of this lawyer lol
This popped up in my recommended, should I play!
you will NEVER win !!! Jinx.
Already won ;)

Don't tell your future ex-wife. That's the first thing.
exactly.!!!!!!!
There are at least 2 people I would definitely do things for because they have been there for me when I was down and out.
Exactly, stay very Quiet!
The real winner here is the lawyer
I have dreams for my family but it’s nice to hear what this man is say so I’m taking knot of it. Good luck to all that play the lottery.
Happy that I am in the UK. Winners have the legal right to total anonymity should they choose. You can only have the lump sum. Lottery winnings are tax exempt, however the interest accrued in the Bank when you bank your winnings is taxable.
I’m next!!!+

I hate to say this guys but get in line, it’s my time to shine. I’m going to win I can feel it in my bones. But stay positive that’s the key, good luck to everybody.
Thank You God 🙏🏾❤️
I would look into donating to cancer research.
Why? They have the cure. They just like making millions every year.
Trillions have been invested in disease research for decades. It's safe to say that they're NOT looking for a cure, but for more donations.

What to do if you won the Lottery? TELL NOBODY!
Pay bills, pay family and very close friends who’ve helped me throughout my life. Buy a nice car, a nice house, hire investors, hire private security, hire a great legal team. Live my life.
then what will you do next week?
Gonna move out and don’t tell know one
You basically just said you were gonna move out lol
Learn to spell
Period
You just did
I would help the homeless, the poor and the needy, single parents, pay off some mortgages, help struggling families...
If I won I'd still have a kitchen drawer full of ketchup and hot sauce packets from fast food joints
Feed the 40000 kids that die every year from starvation. And set up fresh water wells to save the thousands that die from lack of clean water
Why would you feed dead kids? I'd feed the living ones.
Amen Amen 💯💯💯💯💯💯
JesseBCO18 lol
just so they can die the next year........ and you can have as many wells as you want, but unless you purify the water, they will still die from it
@@JesseBCO18 more importantly, HOW would you feed dead kids. and while we are at it, i guess only kids die from starvation?
Thank you Jason, I’ll be seeing you real soon! 💞🙏🏻😇
Have the rich mindset!!! Positive and eliminate the negative! I am a money magnet!!! I attract money quickly.
Rule number one: wait for your yearly taxes to come.
The lottery is considered part of your yearly income, and your "income tax" increases because of the lottery. As long as you pay that year's tax, go ahead and tell no one.
The lottery paid me $3000000000 in 2020🙏

If I won the lottery, I'd change my name and claim the ticket under my different name. I personally know someone who did this.
Thank you for sharing your advice ♥️
Buy a house outright, personally I would buy a Tesla, pay off your debt, retire and save it.
I won the Louisiana lottery in 2011. Still have the uncashed check!
He doesnt have to play because he gets it from the lottery winners through fees or commissions.
exactly.
A news story has him being taken to court for abusing his responsibilities!
I had my windows down in my car some years ago, driving down the highway my 3 tickets blew out.
And that store I got them from had a $200,000 unclaimed ticket.

Go to Alux on CZcams and type 16 things to do when you win a lottery. Great advice.
Happy lottery play, and may the odds be ever in your favour
The 450k people who have watched this video are unlikely to ever win a lottery lol
KR 92 mm you sure ?
I keep quiet. I would take a long holiday and think about what I'm going to do with it. I'd sit on it for a while and help my friends and family then have a lovely life and I wouldn't go crazy because cars and boats don't interest me ❤️✌️
If I win I would not quit my job right away, but I’m going to have a whole new attitude.
I would build a catapult and fire antique pianos into the forest late at night
I little bit every year? Who knows what life will bring, I’m taking the whole thing 😂
Everyone who commented in here will have a greater chance of winning the lotto or megamillion or any other reward this year. Good luck
Let me win the lottery first. Let’s just start there and then I’ll come back to this video. Lol
My life wouldn't change much.
I would move out of my apartment get a nice little house I don't care about a pool the house will be one story.
No neighbors.
How I pick my numbers is when I’m out walking around everyday I see a number in distinct view, I save that one number and until I have 6 numbers i go get a ticket. Haha haven’t won yet though Lol
I won the lottery!!! Thank u universe for the abundance 🥰🥰✨🧚🏼♀️🙏🏼🐝
Thanks for the advice.
Just by a lot of houses and flats, make a company and rent them.
Having 100million is a thing.
Having 100million worth of houses giving you like 500 000€ a month easily is way better.
I'd tell my parents and that's it , my girlfriend would be told ive won money but I wouldn't reveal how much and my friends would be told something similar about a year after I'd won the lotto. Remaining silent gives you control otherwise becoming an instant multi-millionaire and telling everyone will only invite complete chaos into your life.
I'd also tell all investment groups and other blood suckers to hit the road and trust myself to manage the money .
depending on how old someone is and how much they win, would depend on whether or not they should get in touch w/a certified public accountant or not. For instance, if a 70-year old won 4 million....figure out how much they would pay in taxes and I'd say "spend it how ever you want!"...on the other hand, if a 30-something won 100 million plus, regardless if they go installments or lump-sum, I'd say "invest a good chunk of that for longevity/insurance" ...
TODAY I WON THE JACKPOT LOTTERY
