To all the people coming out with is he legal in this country if he isn't then he shouldn't get the money well 1. He wouldn't have got the cheque if he wasn't legal 2. He paid for a ticket like everyone else. Its just typical that there is always a couple of people who have to bring race in to it, to me your just jealous that he was lucky and you wasn't, and I hope he enjoys the money and also beats cancer and lives a lovely life in peace and cancer free Amen.
You are 💯 percent on that! There are so many people on these feeds that look through a magnifier to find something to complain about! They must be pretty damn miserable and pathetic people. Always one in every crowd…
Damn, won the lottery, but has the big C. Life can be messed up sometimes.
Good for him. However, I truly believe that it would be much better if there were (100)
one million dollar winners than just (1) one billion dollar winner. Better odds for everyone playing and, in the end, better for the economy at large.
Me too,I’m with you there.
I’ve been told that I’ve been dying for 35 years. Maybe, I should win the lottery. Get a better doctor. (Unfortunately, I am ‘uncurable’. But, I’ve stayed strong. I don’t know how much longer I will last.). I’m happy for this guy, I hope he can find a cure. ‘All the more luck!’ That’s what I say!
We all dying
Laotion person here.
WHOOOOO ❤
Congratulations and hopefully you will get better from cancer soon!!
>> from Laos 🇱🇦
Hey, well good for him. I hope his luck continues and he beats the disease. Also, cool to hear that he honors the deal with his pal who chipped in $100. Half a $1.3 billion prize is still something like $300 - 400 million, I'm guessing, after taxes, so nothing to sneeze at.
I wish him and his family well😊
Im Laos🎉🎉happy with you
Congratulations❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It could not go to a more deserving person.
God has blessed him. May God also heal his cancer. ❤❤❤
Immigrant communities run *huge* lottery pools so this is no surprise.
He has enough cash to legally buy an hourglass on life and the best medical care on the planet 100%
That's wholesome, God bless him. You can't tell me that the Lord didn't have a hand in picking who'd win.😂 How many people are more deserving in Oregon? A few?
Aw man, so happy for him and his family.
Congratulations!!!!
I don't want to sound evil, im very happy for him ,as money in America is the only way to be able to get all the treatments you need ,so basically the health care system won the billion dollars.
Well-deserved winner
Maybe he will donate some $ to cancer research
We have treatment but big pharm won't release it, because they will lose profits if they do. They rather treat not cure
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good for him!
We need some. God bless you.
Happy for him. God bless.
Great,and happy for you ,and your family brother,great to see Laotian,or Mien brother won it big.
Don't you have to be a citizen to collect the winnings?
No, just a legal resident.
That's my understanding also. Oh well, hope someone enjoys this immense prize😊
Wow... amazing 😱😱😱
Congrats! You deserve it !
Congratulations 🎊
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just goes to show ya money isn't everything, but damn it sure helps good for him🎉🎉
God closes a door and opens a door, the light of luck
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏 Congrats. You are using the money wisely. 🙏🙏🙏
Congatulations!
Good for him
Immigrants go to different countries like the us for the dream. But this Immigrant made the dream of the us citizens a reality. Great times.
Good story. Because the winner is Mien and the Mien community is strong, that money will be shared within his community to the benefit of many.
Hey that's what AMERICA IS ABOUT congratulations Bud...🇺🇲💪😏😉😀
Good for him.
He is so lucky
Congratulations! I hope this windfall can be used to keep him strong and healthy.
The amount of ignorance about the man being an illegal or legal immigrant and if he has to pay taxes is beyond me. Like why would they give him 466,000 million after taxes if he was an illegal immigrant? It’s actually common sense.
Help most
Of course he does.
They didn't say illegal or is he legal
He wouldn’t get the money if he wasn’t legal absolutely have to be American to win the lottery
I want some
ສະບາຍດີພໍ່ລຸງ ຈື່ຫລານຄົນນີ້ໄດ້ບໍ່ນໍ້
Well sh!t! Welcome to America 😊❤❤
Hope the money helps your plight!😊
Finally someone who deserves that money ❤
AWESOME
God bless him
deport asap
Congratulations
Good for him!!!💕💕💕
ຍີນດີນຳ
Jesus Christ please lead this person to his healing that money can not buy . Bless him and his family please. Light be. Amen
AWE
If he's not here legally then he shouldn't be entitled to any of the money. Investigation needed.
asap
Hi Charley.
I know of a very special healthcare center in Asia that has saved many of my friends and acquaintances from terminal cancer cases . Let me know if you need help with your cancer treatment.
There is a God!
Will he needs to pay the taxes to the usa
i'm so happy for him and his famiily
Is he illegal or legal?
U should have asked the question when he was about to purchase the ticket. Ozua
They won't let you know. That's why MSM will not use the term illegal anymore. It's to sow confusion.
It's a legit question since if he's not legal then he shouldn't be eligible to play. That said, if he's legal then a person who needed good fortune won given his long battle with cancer. I'm sure he and his family were all going through hardship in his battle against cancer.
I bet he is illegal
You cannot collect the money without a valid ID or at least that's what the law says
Congratulations brother!
ວາວ! ຍິນດີນໍາເດີ, ແລະ ຂໍໃຫ້ຫາຍປ່ວຍໄວໆເດີ ✌️✌️
This should tell you the lottery is fake, stop playing.
If he's an illegal, we need to take it.
Yoi must be white!! Been stealing since you came out the womb
Who cares if he’s illegal, good for him. Xenophobia much? 🤨
hell ya asap
@@lordhoweproductions3733 Nice try 2016
@@PresidentNotSoSure wtf are you talking about? 🤨
ສະບາຍດີອ້າຍຈື້ນ້ອງໄດ້ຢູ່ບໍ 😅
Will he be paying taxes on that money?
They take the taxes before you get the winnings.
The money is automatically removed. If you take a lump sum, the government takes a HUGE portion of it; if you take it in smaller payments, government takes less overall; but the government always gets it's cut; which for lotteries should NEVER be the case because you're already paying a tax on the ticket when you buy it.
nope. immigrants don't have to pay taxes. keep being stupid, stupid.
Are they going to tax his winnings ?
This is America not Laos😂
yes "user-tf8yf8xh8y" they will tax his winnings.
@@abdulkarimsuleiman9959 Most likely will be more than half of his winning.
You have to give most of it to the homeless and help
No, he doesn't. You should lead by example and give most of your money though.
Is he here legally?
Is his wife?
He don’t have to pay taxes he’s a national dang…
They take the taxes before they let you touch the winnings.
Immigrant's, not American citizens. God bless America
shut up
If the ticket does does not have it in writing, must be an American citizen to play the Lotto, then he won it.
That’s great expecially since he has cancer but is he able to claim without citizenship.
Just as if A AMERICA He belongs.
If HE TOOK OATH OF AMERICA..
OR DID HE JUST GOT HERE?!!
idiot
Jesus is Lord
Legal immigrant?
If he is here illegally he doesn’t get the money! I know I will get hate but do any of you know what having 13m come in 3 years is doing to the hospitals and schools??
shut up asshat.
He could be laos jesus if he wanted now, imagine what he could do if he got past his cancer and donated to laos
Illegal trespassing criminal or Immigrant who came in the correct way?..CRICKETS
I What to know it illegal for an immigrants playing the lottery here USA 🇺🇸 because lottery company they rules and laws immigrants cannot play the lottery ??
Find a natural path soon.
Did he come her legally, or just come over with the millions recently? If he did it right, congratulations!!
One of the few people I've seen that truly deserves to win these lotteries. Good for him
I bet he’s illegal
Laos? Probably not illegal.
