- BRAINTREE, MA (December 13, 2012) -- Yesterday's historic 12/12/12 date proved to be very lucky for two coworkers in Massachusetts after the quick pick ticket they purchased together matched all five numbers plus the Power Ball selected in the Wednesday, December 12, 2012 drawing to win the multi-state game's $50 million jackpot.
Rosa DeLeon of Arlington and Reginald LeBlanc of Lexington, who are coworkers at Costco in nearby Waltham, Massachusetts, have been jointly purchasing two tickets for the twice-weekly drawn game over the past 10 months.
The coworkers elected to receive the $33,003,300 lump sum cash option on the prize and after taxes will receive a one-time check for $23,102,310. They plan to split the winnings evenly.
DeLeon, a 52 year old married mother of five, plans to buy a house and to take care of her family with the winnings. LeBlanc, who is 54 and single, also plans to buy a home and will be investing in dental work which he has been unable to afford until now.
DeLeon and LeBlanc purchased their winning ticket at Lexington Shell located at 915 Waltham Street in Lexington. The store owner will also benefit from this jackpot win by receiving a $50,000 commission for selling the lucky ticket. - Zábava
such kind people. I hope they're living their dreams wherever they are.
$25M is not enough. After taxes they got $15M. If they live like celebrities. They will go broke in 10 years or less. In order to live like celebrities. They need at least $100M after taxes. Invest $75M and live off the interest for the rest of your life. You will literally have a printing money machine!
NC Styles 15M is more than enough. If it isn’t, you just don’t know as much about money as you claim to. With your mentality, you don’t need to win anything for your own good because you’ll blow through it.
Don’t Believe Me Boy $15M in enough to pay off your debts, purchase a home and live off the interests. Unfortunately, the interest will only fund a middle class lifestyle for the rest of your life! Don’t get me started on helping family members with debts and their children college funds! Lol You’ll literally go broke quick! You will only have enough for you, your wife and children. No one else!
@@Eric345 - this was in 2012 so tax rate was 35% for IRS/Federal (all together, 25% up front the rest in April come tax collecting day), then Ma taxes any winnings over $600 at 5% as income. Cash value at 33M which leaves them with around 19.8M to spend or invest. Still not enough to live above their current means unless it was wisely invested for growth more than loss.
Joshua79C C No is not. In order to get great returns they’ll have to invest most of it. Meaning low cash flow. Meaning not enough to give out millions to family members or live an ultra wealthy life. Just an upper class lifestyle.
Two genuine friends who played together and won together. This is so inspiring.
If that was me who won I think I'd retire and free up my job to someone who needs it more and if I really feel the need to work I could volunteer to work at a local school/church or something. Congrats Reginald & Rosa.
I'm in tears...very humble people.
GROW UP,LOL..JUST AN ADD FOR LOTTERY.
Agreed 💯

They both sound so sweet, humble and down to Earth.
No stupidity, no arrogance and so kind…
I hope they're happy whatever their lives is right now. So glad for them…
IS THAT ALL...LOL
They seem like beautiful souls. Hope all is well with them. If either one of you reads this comment.. please consider doing an interview with Timothy Shultz. He’s a former lottery winner himself that interviews lottery winners. You both seem like nice people. I would like to hear your story and how life has changed for you 2, especially the woman being a Christian like myself. Hope to hear it one day. Thank you, congrats and Godbless!
This is why I would NEVER do a Press conference. That male reporter was so condescending and rude. So what, the guy isn't close to his family, that's none of your business. Ugh!
Rosa seems so nice and humble. I'm glad she chose Reggie to group with. Seems like she understood his story and knew he needed a friend.
IamSashaJolie - Yes, that male reporter is rude.
Unfortunately some states REQUIRE you to do a press conference. Sad but true.
Dude is smart he's not giving any clues on his next move with all those damn cameras around.
@@usersdkelley- In MA you are allowed to keep anonymous through a trust and legal rep who does the publicity..
That woman is a sweetheart.
I like them both a them look so nice as friends
very humble people they really needed this money god is good this will be me one day.
lance lomant / God didn't bless these people with money that people gave to win the lottery!!
Christmas is pagan / not the birth date of Jesus Christ and God doesn't bless gamblers!!
There is no god.

She plays the right way. Giving him a copy of the tickets.
I used to give homeless people standing on the steet corner tickets.
It never worked for me.
I used to run a syndicate.
I gave the members copies of the numbers we played and the tickets.
We had a legally binding contract to prevent any misunderstandings.
We agreed we didn't want any publicity and had it written into the contract that we would not seek publicity, if anyone decided they did want to go public, they would not identify the other members of the syndicate.
It worked really well for us.
They are not greedy. Both of them are happy for each other. Better than some couples who win and act so greedy even on T.V.
One of the best stories ever! So humble! Congrats
tht why god chose both
My life got lot happier after watching this. They are great
How good it is when such a happy event happens. And dreams come true for such wonderful people.
Hell yea. Good people. That's awesome
Very very humble people very nice people
Beautiful! Bless you all that are reading this lines. 🙏 Much Love. All the Best ✌️😎
Brought tears of happiness.
Quick pick always Win! They only played for 10 months together ! Wow! God blessed them!!!
Not true, the lady that won a billion with her hubby they won off birthday numbers.
I agree.. once i got a sequence of 4 out of 7 for quick picks
That was so precious! I am so happy for them!
Aww I'm so happy that two wonderful people have won.....absolutely wonderful.
I bet there co workers where wishing they would of got in on it🤔😂🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️ love how humble she is...
Highly deserved! I hope they're living their best lives happy and healthy with their loved ones.
I'm so happy for them. I wish them all the best:)
I love their story. Many blessing to them.
Best lottery story I have ever seen, what lovely people, great win. Reggie, you should head down under to Australia for a holiday mate, you would love it.
They are very good people god bless
Man what a great story
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 🎊 👏
I would not have told people at work! I'd probably have had to go home sick, lol!
Yes, sick with joy!!!!
Nice people...
Very happy for them. This woman is like angel for him, so nice to see kindness.
Dang, the government took 28 million for taxes, but then again you only spent 4 dollars and made 22 million. That's one hell of a profit........lol
congratulations to you both.
What a nice guy, always smiling
I am very happy. God bless them.
That's wonderful. Blessed.
Bless their hearts....they both look like GOOD PEOPLE......great story, and may they both have happy, wonderful lives
My group has been playing for 16 years. We have 35 people in our group! It is not our turn yet! This is the best time to hit the Jackpot. 🙏🏼
Wow, you should just buy tickets on your own, I bet you'd have better luck doing it solo.
Why do you play with so many people? That make me VERY nervous
I'm happy for these two!
Good people.
@@nikkitikki6648 I agree Nikki. They seem like great people and very down to earth. I love seeing people like this winning the lottery. I know I will win the lottery one day too. I won 555 dollars on fantasy 5 2 days ago. Lol I was so happy. I matched 4 out of 5 numbers. So close. I could of won 200 thousand if I had matched all 5 numbers. But it’s all good. I believe in Jesus. He’s going to make me a big jackpot winner someday. I hope you win someday too. God bless you and your family. #TeamJesus
50 mil down to 11 mil each, after taxes, that's ridiculous. Canada doesn't tax it's lotto win.
WHO TOLD YOU THEY DONT,LOL...YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR.?
Trudeau only taxes us on the interest we make off of that winning which is why our jackpot only goes up to $60M :)
Advertised jackpot is for the annuity value, they took the 33 M cash value payout and after taxes of 25% Federal/IRS up front (another up to 10% at that time come tax time in April) and then there's MA state income tax cut of 5% for any amount over $600, leaves them with around ... $19.8 million
@@EPICWILDETAILING - Got to love every time you "we [here, wherever country it is] do not pay taxes" claims such only to go on and say you get taxed on the interest made of of it, clearly lying. I dunno about outside the US per rates for, but yes we also get taxed on Interest,.
State and Fedral tax
Beautiful ppl..god is good all daaaa time👍
GOD AND MONEY DONT WORK TOGETHER,..
All the time GOD is good.
I hope the universe protected these people from vultures
You mean God
Coming out publicly like they did instead of taking the private route the state allows and having a legal representative to do the public address on their behalf of their named trust would have been the safer way to collect their winnings. This whole publicity stuff yourself puts YOU at High Risk of the vultures for the money or your life.
@@Joshua79C they had no choice where they lived u idiot
@@MsRita2014 God IS the universe
@@tinalouiseking No. God is the creator of the Universe.
This two looks like most humble people I’ve seen so glad that they won hope it helps them both in the future
I send these two my love they are blessed beyond the human imagination and only the creator could do this I’m so inspired
God bless.
I am so happy for these people, they are so deserving, bless their hearts ❤❣❤🙏❤🙏 I hope he has the most beautiful smile ever now !!
Happy for them. Now that's what I call Funni Buddies ( befriending the lonely, accepting others as they are, and showing family love :)
Such nice, genuine souls. I hope they are happy today. God bless them both.
I can’t wait for this day to come into my experience!!!
That was a huge winner!

This was so awesome. Was great seeing these two join together and win. She is such a sweet good hearted gentle woman. Almost angelic how she acts and sounds, very grateful and slowly processing it all so surreal. God bless them both. Luv it 💯
Amazing people
They truly deserve this win.
I am luckier now than I have ever had in my life. (I won € 2,000,000.00) Your lottery spell did wonders, #Drodion
Congratulations si happy for you thats 👍
CONGRATULATIONS to both
I am so happy for them!! They really deserve it 🙂!!
I love her faith in God..... congrats I’m so happy for you both
YES! YES! SUCCESS!!
GOD has blessed them, and I’m sure they will bless many people.
YES! The Lottery in this country should not be taxed like it is. CANADA does not tax its Lottery. BINGO games are not taxed as far as I know. So why are lottery players taxed when they win? The dollar people spend on a ticket has been taxed so much, the ink is fading. I feel its just Greed. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. All the money should go to the winner. I always thought people TAXES took cares of Schools, etc...?
bocaitalian true!!! That’s soooo much they take for taxes although it’s a win win 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
The taxes are literally the only reason it’s legal
Stop saying your country does not tax the winner, it gets taxed before you even see a damn cent you ignorant twits.
And the taxes here are mostly the IRS aka Federal at 35% at the time this couple won in 2012, the rest is owed at tax time in April. Then each state has a tax, six of which do not impose a state tax, NYC residents pay the most as much as 8.82% goes to state and NYC municipal funds take 3.876%. MA residents pay only 5% (not sure about what municipalities here also take a cut of their own). 33M Cash value and after the taxes they get to see 19.8M, and of course anything they previously owed will also have to get paid.
Supper happy they won !
Congratulations to you
I hope they both get financial experts and attorneys to help guide them through this so they don’t become broke a few later
Congratulation now friend ✅
Congratulations!
nice people
Yes very humble people i'm sure they both worked hard don't gi back to Costco give that job to someone else god will bless u again it will multiple
Enjoy enjoy enjoy ur lives
Congratulations 🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏 to the winners.
I have won the lottery.
I trust the universe to deliver what I have won.
I am grateful for and ready to receive my gift of financial abundance.
asè, so may it be
Amen! Yes! Me Too Amen! 💯🙏😇❤️
They are so sweet a bag of sugar is jealous, i hope the money brought them joy
Why the amount which is said to be the jackpot is always a really far cry from the actual winnings! Why making these people take pictures with a fake, false amount of money, which was advertised as a lie and even so on a check with a fake amount
Advertised is the annuity estimated value, cash value which it is based on is noted on many state lottery and lottery news websites, Nothing fake about any of it, you are just an ignorant person.
What a wonderful friendship they have.
I hope they managed to stay friends after this and the vultures didn't succeed in fleecing them
So nice
I want to become a millionaire
bless thm both
More than 50% in taxes!! Criminal!
Wow this is so cool for them to win here . Buy together at work wow .
50 000 000-40% = 30 000 000 ÷ 2 people =15 000 000 each. Very good.
rui santos, 15 millions? Damn I hope that one day I get that kind of money
If anyone deserved it, it's them
The both nice people,it seems the woman is his best friend and Co worker,and have a lot of family feuds in the past, I pray that they would good use.
Wonderful God. Blessed.
I hope it works out for these two great players
good people ! well deserved
