Wow that was a dick move making a whole news segment with their last names in there when they clearly didn't want people to know they won and for good reason!
Lord Lew they will probably legally change their last name.. if they already haven't.. they seem like very intelligent people.. first things you should probably do is see a lawyer, a tax professional and an investment advisor.. could be what they were doing for 6 months
Sure, I'm not saying no to a free car and lingerie that my boyfriend can see me in. It's your money not mine if you won the Powerball. I'm just saying if I won the lottery the first thing I would do was probably save the majority of it so interest can accumulate.
Why would you stay in a hideous suburb when you have all that money? If I won even a few hundred thousand, I would hightail it out of my small home for something grander.
Dang, they just seem extremely wise and smart by hiring people to guide them through money managing, moving away, not exposing their win, etc. Good for them!!
@@travelnomad2128trust me they definitely changed their names ,seems like the mom or dad share the same mind as me lol I would’ve done this exact thing move secretly and changed my name I bet they did aswell
The reason you can't be anonymous is to prevent fraud. For example, if you buy tickets with others who chip in, you then hide the fact you won from others and claim all the money. It's to prevent that. Also it is to prevent people who owes debt from skipping payment if they won the lottery. Also to prevent spouses from divorcing their partner and then hide the fact they won the lottery. That's why most states pass law that you have to reveal your identity when you win.
That's true. I knew some people who won a large amount and they lived in fear of people trying to sue them or rob them. They ended up moving away from their family home.
Lmao that's how it goes when a store sells a big jackpot winning ticket.. stupid mofuckers thinking they will win too just because the ticket was sold st the same spot.lol
I have a friend who’s aunt won the lottery and started getting threats of child abduction upon her children if she didn’t give away any of the money. Ended up having to move. Winners should ALWAYS remain anonymous...
Nickolette Spicer you can’t remain anonymous in California. Part of the deal is releasing your names. If you don’t abide by that then you don’t get the money.
This is what gets me about the lottery, is that you can't be anonymous about it. In which it can be a real burden to win given when people find out you did, they go absolutely crazy because they know you have a lot of money. I do not blame them at all for doing it the way they did. No one deserves to be threatened, spammed with letters, or be burdened by random strangers hounding them for money. I hope they've been able to live quietly.
I don’t blame them at all. Hope all goes well for them. Inside Edition should be ashamed of themselves for putting them on blast like that. Anything for a story right
JVIPER88 The winners who end up broke usually take the lump sum payment. If you take the 30 year installments, you get more money and it's like a job with regular payments.
@Ballen Star--It's part of the Calif. rules, when they claim the prize. Would it be better if they said, "Nothing to see here, please move along"? Look what happened to the George Floyd case when Minneapolis hid the Bodycam footage.
@@ronmcmartin4513 This is different. These "rules" killed a lot of people the moment they were put to paper. It'd be nice if you didn't have to change your name after winning the lottery. But I guess full exposure helps prevent corruption from scooping up winnings behind the curtain.
the state is required to release the lottery winners name and town. The media just picked up on the story that they claimed the money and then suddenly moved... because it was notable. Hell, I'd move too. They haven't been able to do anything to prevent releasing winners' names for any state lottery, it has to do with being up front about there being actual winners etc... but they should allow pseudonyms, if you ask me, to prevent the mobbing from charities etc.
They actually did the most smart thing ever. They probably got a new house somewhere first and then went to claim the money so they were already gone anyway.
THAT is EXACTLY how I would handle the same situation. Could not have done it any better, I would change no part of their plan. Virtually limitless resources AND zero attention, no social media, no one coming out the wood work to ask for hand outs, no one even knows how to contact you. Team of advisors to help teach you how to manage extreme wealth. Bravo, they finessed that perfectly.
That family has common sense, I can see why they would do such a thing so that they can have a normal life like everyone else and not worry about people begging for cash.
I told my entire family (jokingly) if I disappear without a trace one day you'll know I won the lottery. I would absolutely take the money and run far, far away from everyone I ever knew.
That couple has some good sense. Shame on the news for releasing their names. If it's public, then let people find their names on their own, not y'all blast them!
If I won that kind of money, I wouldn't want to tell the whole world either, if you win you shouldn't have to feel pressured to expose yourself and brag about it
Why would you release their names... That's just inconsiderate. They don't want to be known, they don't want the attention, no matter how bad you want to give it to them, their privacy supercedes your right to entertainment. They want to be left alone, so give them their damn privacy.
It's a law here in Arizona, you remain anonymous for 90 days and then they release your name out to the public. If you refuse, they will not give you the money. I know, it's ridiculous...

Scott Gallagher Hahaha it's like the news is telling people if you want a piece of the pie this the info we got about them and you could use it to your advantage.
You're absolutely right. Smart thing was get rid of facebook and twitter. I deactivated mine and no more linkedin. Facebook takes up too much on every day life. Sad that more people on social media. You never know who is watching. this family was smart.
Oh hell yeah. I made a plan just in case I was a lucky winner of that jackpot. New just what I was gonna do. I was gonna set my myself and another family member out of our house and take all the directly important items with us. We'd do this at the start of the month when I'd collect the money because some times it takes time to actually use it. Some one once said 3 to 15 days depending. We would stay in our location and ask the lottery people to give us some time before letting out who won for security factors, hopefully they would be kind enough to do so. If not then I'd go home at night to collect all important items. Then in the following days have most of the other items removed for donation of trash. My other relative would never be known to the public and be kept in hiding just in case. I on the other hand would also be in hiding but would come out to have my house gutted and completely refurbished. Including excellent security. I would move back in after about 3 to 6 month. By this time the shock would have calmed. If anything happened with in that year enough to bother me to much, I'd look for a new place and put my other house up for rent.
***** I play Powerball and Mega Millions only when the after tax annuity is over 1.5 million. I've done the math and found that I can get things done well with that. You remember that Billion dollar lotto. I near won the whole thing. But all my numbers were off by one and the next drawing three people won. I was so upset, but I called it that three people were gonna win.
J Mac It’s possible. Anyone can use FOIA to find out information like that. That’s why they should have structured it in a trust within a trust shielded by an LLC with their attorney as the agent.
I always told my family what we were doing if we ever hit the mega millions / powerball jackpots, and they agree. That is basically make the plan to move before the ticket is cashed. Because when we leave to cash that ticket in, that is the last time we step foot in our house. You'd be getting all sorts of friends you didn't know you had once your identity becomes public.
''Mysteriously'' bruh they got the hell outta there, when you get things nice people get mad and salty basically puts a target on your back, very smart people.
A. Banana I believe in some states you can pay extra money in taxes to have your identity safe from the public. Don't quote me on that though. But to me it's almost like extortion. They know a target will be on the winners' back. I've seen news stories of people getting killed for less money than that. Nobody would ever know if I won the lottery. Not even my family.
Even odds they moved to Texas. Good standard of living and much lower cost of living. And there's been a wave of people moving from California to Texas...for varying reasons.
We want to be anonymous.. Inside edition: Here it's; name, blood type, family members, address everything you wanna know about this family that won a millionaire prize and wanted to remain private...
Pretty sure I could make good and honest money by starting a "Lotto Winners Protection Agency". Good for these folks, they figured it out on their own and will probably still have money in the bank a year from now unlike so many other 'winners'.
This is so smart as a lottery winner. Tell no one! Immediately get rid of all social media and photos, get financial lawyers and advisors involved. Quit your job but tell them it’s a family situation or something. Change your phone number and maybe even your legal name
I would have done exactly the same thing. Imagine all the random people coming out of the wood work asking for money. That one cousin you never met will be calling you up asking for a hand out.
By law all winners' names must be releaded. Look up the rules on the lottery site. This is done so no fraud is being committed. This is the law for many contests, not just the lottery.
So they moved, deleted their social media accounts, won't show their faces and inside edition goes on national television and shows their home, gives their names, and tells how long it took for them to claim their prize?! I would be livid.
Camiel08Erin11 youre exactly right it doesnt make sense because the lottery often keeps these prizes for themselves saying someone won and no one questions it. Ive seen it
Wow that was a dick move making a whole news segment with their last names in there when they clearly didn't want people to know they won and for good reason!
Lord Lew they will probably legally change their last name.. if they already haven't.. they seem like very intelligent people.. first things you should probably do is see a lawyer, a tax professional and an investment advisor.. could be what they were doing for 6 months
Yeah, unlike others who win the lottery give up their jobs and decide to buy buy buy until they run out.
Sure, I'm not saying no to a free car and lingerie that my boyfriend can see me in. It's your money not mine if you won the Powerball. I'm just saying if I won the lottery the first thing I would do was probably save the majority of it so interest can accumulate.
It doesn't matter those names don't exist anymore for their safety of course.
accumulate? i don't know.... 500 mill? that is load of money. Well i guess you could invest for your great grand kids to be millionaires also.
No, that family is just smart.. They don't want people robbing their house or coming over to beg for cash...
Exactly!!
Ugh, imagine THAT crowd outside your door..
Why would you stay in a hideous suburb when you have all that money? If I won even a few hundred thousand, I would hightail it out of my small home for something grander.

We would stay in our location and ask the lottery people to give us some time before letting out who won for security factors, hopefully they would be kind enough to do so. If not then I'd go home at night to collect all important items. Then in the following days have most of the other items removed for donation of trash. My other relative would never be known to the public and be kept in hiding just in case. I on the other hand would also be in hiding but would come out to have my house gutted and completely refurbished. Including excellent security. I would move back in after about 3 to 6 month. By this time the shock would have calmed. If anything happened with in that year enough to bother me to much, I'd look for a new place and put my other house up for rent.
***** I play Powerball and Mega Millions only when the after tax annuity is over 1.5 million. I've done the math and found that I can get things done well with that.
You remember that Billion dollar lotto. I near won the whole thing. But all my numbers were off by one and the next drawing three people won. I was so upset, but I called it that three people were gonna win.
Nobody knew who they were untill INSIDE EDITION told the whole world
J Mac It’s possible. Anyone can use FOIA to find out information like that. That’s why they should have structured it in a trust within a trust shielded by an LLC with their attorney as the agent.
Man I hope they’re good people since they’re so smart. May they be safe
I always told my family what we were doing if we ever hit the mega millions / powerball jackpots, and they agree. That is basically make the plan to move before the ticket is cashed. Because when we leave to cash that ticket in, that is the last time we step foot in our house.
You'd be getting all sorts of friends you didn't know you had once your identity becomes public.
Even your best friends become your enemies 😂.
Joke's on you if they don't have any friends. Lol
''Mysteriously'' bruh they got the hell outta there, when you get things nice people get mad and salty basically puts a target on your back, very smart people.

A. Banana I believe in some states you can pay extra money in taxes to have your identity safe from the public. Don't quote me on that though. But to me it's almost like extortion. They know a target will be on the winners' back. I've seen news stories of people getting killed for less money than that. Nobody would ever know if I won the lottery. Not even my family.
Even odds they moved to Texas. Good standard of living and much lower cost of living. And there's been a wave of people moving from California to Texas...for varying reasons.
I would not even let my family know.
once you make a claim on the money, its public record
@@Linneydenise depending on the state
@@darkvioletskull and amount, too. If it's over 250k, you might have to...
Gee I wonder why lottery winners wouldn't want their identity to be known. Such a mystery.
Very smart move. Inside Edition should never have disclosed their names.
We want to be anonymous..
Inside edition: Here it's; name, blood type, family members, address everything you wanna know about this family that won a millionaire prize and wanted to remain private...
*billionaire prize!! Even more attention on them!
Wow someone who won the lottery with brains. This couple will go far. Good for them!
so true good example how to handle lottery jackpot
Imagine trying to hide so no1 knows u won the lottery and then the news comes out and tells ur name and everything like tf dude
Imagine putting all their business onto the news they clearly didn’t want people to know because of the dangers 💀
I would do the same thing. I wouldn't want everyone knowing that I won money, especially thatmuch. They did a good thing.
I second that.
Exactly!
hauled ass

That's why I don't like news reporters. They will put you into harms way for a story.
I think we all agree , that this is one smart couple.
Pretty sure I could make good and honest money by starting a "Lotto Winners Protection Agency". Good for these folks, they figured it out on their own and will probably still have money in the bank a year from now unlike so many other 'winners'.
Sarah Augustine Yeah....awesome idea! Lets
yes
@@sarahaugustine4185 I agree with that
Finally winners who really dissapear from the public. All forms of social media could make them vulnerable to scams.
This is so smart as a lottery winner. Tell no one! Immediately get rid of all social media and photos, get financial lawyers and advisors involved. Quit your job but tell them it’s a family situation or something. Change your phone number and maybe even your legal name
I'm disliking this video, Inside Edition sucks for covering this story and putting them in danger smh😤👎
Amanda Joe lol there just covering news. lol I can guarantee 50 other news channels did the same thing they did.
"A young couple, with children..." well dang, so much for privacy and keeping the kids safe, smh!
👌👌👌😊 agree. thats crazzzzy🤔

The lottery authority should allow winners to remain anonymous. Their names should never be public.
That’s actually how it is in some states. Not all states make the winners come forward like California.
Media showed up showing their house and address, share their first and last names, city, amount they won.... gee, I wonder why they went away???
Exactly!!
I would have done exactly the same thing. Imagine all the random people coming out of the wood work asking for money. That one cousin you never met will be calling you up asking for a hand out.
And why in a blue hell did you have to tell there name!!!
Walter 777 ha ha ha.....thats the media for you.
By law all winners' names must be releaded. Look up the rules on the lottery site. This is done so no fraud is being committed. This is the law for many contests, not just the lottery.
*released. Sorry for error.
It depends on the state. California unfortunately, is one that discloses. ; /
that will be public record and can be searched online by a 12yo..
Smart people...I would do the same thing too.
Winning that much money should be immediate cause for legal privacy.
Let me introduce you to a site that help me with money
When I was needed money to pay my bills
They're on telegram
The deal with clones cards Bank logs and many more
@ cash x Clones lord
They smart. They didn't let the IRS show up
Smart, very smart. These may be the only people who don't go broke afterwards.
So they moved, deleted their social media accounts, won't show their faces and inside edition goes on national television and shows their home, gives their names, and tells how long it took for them to claim their prize?! I would be livid.
Suing!
Camiel08Erin11 youre exactly right it doesnt make sense because the lottery often keeps these prizes for themselves saying someone won and no one questions it. Ive seen it
Yep exactly! Thats the liberal inside edition for you!
Imagine winning 500mil 👁👄👁
You'd never have to work a day in your life
Bruh they literally didn’t want to be talked about yet inside edition makes a whole video about them with THEIR NAME
