  • Hi friends, happy Thursday!
    Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Did you know that the largest Powerball jackpot ever won was a mind-blowing 2.04 billion dollars? That's the equivalent of an average American working for 30,000 years. Sounds good, but there's a dark side dating back to the Old Testament. From funding America's birth to winners finding a tragic fate, get ready to explore the shadowy past of the lottery.
    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

    I used to work at a gas station and there was this guy who would come in a few times a day and get scratchers. He played a lot! He ended up winning a million dollars and came back and gifted everyone that worked in the store $400 each! It was so nice of him and we were all really greatful! I still see him around town! Great guy!

    I won $5000 in a scratcher at the age of 8 years old bc I seen a pretty paper stuck on the fence. After reading the instructions of this paper game I seen it was a winning ticket. Took it to my father and boy was he happy! He took me school clothes shopping, to wet and wild and just spoiled me lolol

    I won 20 grand on a scratcher 8 years ago. It was a blessing for me. 25% taxed straight away, but can claim it the next year. Some of it. The first thing I spent it on was donated to a cause. The earthquake in Nepal happened that year and they needed help badly. Maybe that is the way to release any "curse " winning big. Never forget the humble beginning.

I do believe in the past Bailey has donated to specific causes and even urged us into action about certain true crime cases. She may do some of her own donations and whatnot privately too but idk. But the comment you responded do was just kind of insinuating that lottery winners are bad people if they don’t make some crazy donation. But I think we need to hold corporate billionaires to that standard more than private citizens who got luck.

    Unfortunately in Florida for that guy Shakespeare who won, everything is public record, (it's why slow news days always go through Florida arrests to find the next Florida Man because all those arrest cases are available to the public). The Sunshine Law makes lottery winners vulnerable. I feel like in the case of lottery winners, they should be able to choose whether or not they go public.

    If you ever win the lottery, set up a blind trust with a lawyer. This allows your lawyer (who's a public figure anyways) to claim the winnings on your behalf while you remain anonymous. Sure, that lawyer may take a portion (30% ish or more), but you remain secure and safe

    My dad had an acquaintance in the 90's that won somewhere around $10million in the lottery. He got a lump sum of about 55%. Everyone came out of the wood works. Those long lost cousins he never knew of, that now wanted him to fund their business ideas. Family and friends expecting him to fund college for their kids, vacations, dinners out, etc. New homes, renovations, lavish gifts. Within 3 years he was flat broke. The cherry ontop was all those people who felt entitled to his money disappeared shortly after the money was gone. My dad got an update on his a few years after the money was gone and it was that he wished he never won the lottery. He felt totally alone and used. He felt like he was in a no won situation. If he didn't give money to anyone, they would hate him. He spent it all foolishly on them, and they ended up hating him anyways. Very sad situation.

Especially close to death, I believe that the wisest thing to do is to make your last days more beautiful.

My comment was to make something very clear about money being made from the lottery and where it goes, so before you comment smart remarks such as your "fictional" bit maybe just try and think about if the person who clearly said they live in an urban area, maybe knows a little bit about what they're talking about.

      My husband once won $1000 so we had to go to the lottery office to cash it in, and while there I overheard a guy telling at least three people on the phone that he was “not gonna waste it all like the last time.” I like to hope he didn’t, but considering he was telling everyone and their brother and was promising people money before he even got the check, I also kinda doubt it. Don’t know how much it was (more than $600 but less than $1m), but you’d think he hit the powerball.
