Sounds like a humble hard working baw. Hopefully he doesnt change himself.

The jackpot, drawn on Dec. 26, is the second-largest in New York Lottery history, according to a release.
David Johnson, 56, was sick when he bought the ticket at a gas station, NBC News reports. He decided to work his job as a truck driver anyway so he could collect holiday pay.
He called in sick the following day, CBSNewYork says. Johnson soon learned that the winning ticket had been sold at the location where he bought his ticket, but he didn't get his hopes up, the station reports.
quote:
“That’s not my luck,” he recalls saying, according to CBSNewYork. It took him several days to check his ticket.
When he returned to the gas station to scan his ticket, he was shocked at the result that appeared on the screen: "BIG WINNER."
Since then, Johnson's life has been changed. “I can’t even eat. I start and can’t finish my food. I’m happy with joy inside,” he is quoted in a release.
Johnson will take his winnings in a single lump-sum payment totaling $114,091,248 after taxes, a release says.

He's not working as a truck driver any more, NBC News reports: "I’m rich. I don’t gotta go to work no more," Johnson said.

He’s about to have family and “friends” coming out of nowhere acting like he’s their favorite person in the world

I imagine a man like him enjoys a few days in Atlantic city from time to time.

Typical government bullshite
Headline says “$298MM”
Check is $114MM
Listing the winnings as the sum of the yearly payments is fraud, like saying your $300k house is $480k because that is the sum of the mortgage payments

Someone needs to turn a recent lottery winner's life into a reality tv show .

Nobody knows you when you down and out
In my pocket not one penny
And my friends I haven't any
But If I ever get on my feet again
Then I'll meet my long lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt

He’s 56. He went from being a truck driver to having $114 mil overnight.
Do you honestly think he will continue to be hardworking?

I’m pretty sure it’s wherever the ticket was sold
