Clearly the right person won!
HikeGardenTravel Agree!
Exactly
HikeGardenTravel couldn’t agree more
the right person?
She was able to buy a house before winning so she was obviously not in dire straights.
Man she decides to go on Ellen? That’s brave. I would never go public and let the world know I won millions. She needs extra security.
Alex Diaz I call it irresponsible when you put your kids in potential danger.
Shes white, and older she probably wasnt even thinking about doing things different from now on. I pray someone in her corner she trusts or even herself decides to take the more advanced needed safety precautions if she hasnt already.
🤦
She has "insecurity"! 😂👆

She was going to get that attention anyways I have a close friend from school that won over 40 million She didn’t go on Ellen but the press had stories about her and she had people writing people showing up all the tine it was going to happen whether she did this or not. U should never someone u don’t know especially someone doing great things for others I hear jealousy Not concern She seems like a good kind person Look in the mirror and ask yourself why u feel you can judge ;)
There is a reason she won....she is a good soul...
Amen!!!😇😇
There is no reason she won, it’s all chance.
@@TheAustinGuy Nope she won for a reason
@@pheonic3665 What proof do you have for that ridiculous assessment?
@@pheonic3665 lol people and their "God"
AUNT LERYNNE! HOW ARE YOU?! LONG TIME NO SEE!
iChinnyAce lol
😂😂
I share the actual last name, so does that make me related? What about Uncle Kanye?
iChinnyAce hahahahahahahahhahahahahahhaahhahahahahaha
Laughter is worth a million buck
Praying for a blessing like that for my mom
FreddyO I prays she gets it too!

So glad to see that an amazing woman won the lottery!
First person i’m glad who won the lottery, amazing!
Christopher Santos aw, that’s sweet
nah. still not glad lol. 500 mil? b half goes to taxes for.. government interior decorations?
Christopher Santos
I want someone choose SIX numbers from 1-54.
Love these kinds of stories, amazing!! The main reason I watch Ellen clips, actually:)
Whatsup beautiful princess? Mr.caribbean in nyc.which state you in?
@Mangekyo That woman wasn't going to mention Jesus. How do you know she wanted to mention Jesus, she was about to fake cry but that was it.
the guy who divorced her would be beating himself up.
Tetra Hedron she wouldn’t have won if he was still around.
@MyAvleen that grammar
His Loss😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
if he didn't divorce her, it would have disrupted the sequence of events and circumstances that led her to buying that particular ticket so that she wins
MyAvleen still that grammar and i am not even American
She won the lottery and thought of others. One truly amazing lady.
Find out what numbers have the highest probability of winning at here:- *4 W i n L o t t e r y . C o m*
Damn imagine being the guy that divorced this lady.
Womp, womp.
If he didn't divorce she likely wouldn't have won it
The odds of her winning if she were still married are almost non-existence, it would never of happened , because her life would of been on a totally different path single apposed to still married. He will not have to pay child care anymore though.
@@emmaatwell3195 so technically he's the real lottery winner here 😂
@@hundredthtree1223 Yes ! Lol !! 😅
RIP her baby grandson 💔❤️, my jaw dropped hearing she was a Grandmother I thought she was maybe 30 with little kids.
Aww I’m so glad someone like her won!

I just watched this video and I simply want to say GOD BLESS YOU. Hearing your story is awesome. I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your grandson. I will keep yall in my prayers. Also, thank you for the contribution to the Travis Mills Foundation for wounded warriors. I'm a wife to a retired soldier and knowing you generously donated to this organization brings tears to my eyes. Wishing you a life of happiness, health and love
She seems like a great person and I hope ppl don't abuse her kindness and harass her for $. She's very brave to put her face and name out there. Hope she invested in body guards.
Just got me crying ..... Such a wonderful woman . She never has forgot were she has came from.
Absolutely true
This is the kind of person you want to see win. What a wonderful thing she’s doing.
. Mm
Casey's general store! She's a midwestern!!! HELLO FELLOW MIDWESTERNER
She from Carolina
Shes from a small town in Iowa
she’s from clive iowa!
Ohio!
I laughed when she said Casey’s too 💪
As a veteran myself. I'm proud of you doing that for our veterans. You're a genuinely good person.
This makes me so happy!!! To see someone come from very little and their whole life turn around and still think about others amazing.
I really really hope the lottery curse does not happen to this woman because she’s such a good person
It won't. She seems smart.
KSMaxiefan01 it’s going to happen.
What's the curse ?
guessing they mean that people who win a lot of money often end up losing it all because they don't know how to handle it
she has a Wealth Manager..so she will def be good and from the start seems like she is investing in the right way and not a frivilous way..
I would never be caught on national television If I was a lottery ticket winner!
Ummm okay!!!! Lol
Allison S me either
Me either
Okay! Nope.. too many people know you now
Some states require your identity be released once you win. Missouri is one of those states
I’m glad she won 😭🙌🏽 she deserves every penny
I ain't even mad, what a great person. Glad she won.
That's so awesome! Congrats to her and I'm glad the winnings went to someone who isn't greedy! If I ever win I would want to create a foundation that helps fathers of stillbirths/miscarriages. Sometimes the father's don't get the help THEY need after a loss. RIP Baby Mia
Awww 😢
SO happy for the Travis Mills Foundation! They are so deserving of her donation and congratulations to her! She was clearly the right person to win that jackpot.
It couldn't have happened to a more genuine and kind person. God Bless her and her family.
Travis Mills grew up in Vassar Michigan where I live he is so deserving of this donation his foundation is wonderful and he is a great man
I don't think she should have gone on ellen, despite her wonderful story. People are going to be hounding her now.
I’m glad she won and is doing wonderful things with her money. Clearly deserving!
