Ha. What a loser.


Those numbers are randomly generated. There’s no guarantee he would have won.

To me it doesn’t I’m thinking the random numbers selected by a machine would change every second meaning if the “winning” ticket was purchased 30 seconds later the numbers would have been different but idk how those machines work



Fractions of fractions of a second

Nope. How would he or she know? Letting someone in line isn't all that rare in some parts of the world, and it probably could have been any of a hundred or so people.

The 877 mil wasn’t minus taxes?


The 877 is half which is the cash option penalty. Still has the 40% to pay. Regardless the person is rich beyond their dreams

NBC is saying he has to pay 24% fed and 7% state. I am guessing they forgot Social Security and Medicare taxes, bringing it to about 40%


Interestingly enough, taking 40% from $877,000,000 subtracts about Tree-fiddy.

All you people talking about donating to charity

You realize this message board is anonoymous right?

I am keeping my money. I don’t need to let out any guilt!

Every person who can claim relationship is going to come for a handout. Nothing rings the POS dinner bell like sudden wealth. I hope this guy who won spent all this time getting his legal and financial affairs in order, making sure he's got a good lawyer or three ready for any ex-wives that will suddenly pop up.

Claim the jackpot anonymously, spread out some money to family and friends on a one-time, don't ask for more basis and then the wife and I would disappear.

Do you think, if this guy knew who he let go in front, he would give him $1,000,000 or something like that?

I just can't fathom winning that. You are setting your family up for generations and generations.

Id start off with some A-list hookers, blow, and expensive liquor.

And then id do what you said.

Well aren’t you better than everyone else.


I’d immediately retire too but I wouldn’t work for a charity. I literally have no idea what I’d do except completely pay off my house, set up $10,000,000 a piece for each of my kids for education only trusts, and probably have like 3 more kids.

I’d also buy that jacked up F-250 king ranch edition I’ve always wanted and still finance it for 120 months just to fricking do it.

I’d also probably go broke and die bitter and alone, but I’m gonna have fun doing it

Giving it to charity would allow the CEO and board of the charity to give themselves some pretty fat bonuses. I'll pass on that.


He/she did get an attorney from New York. I would set up scholarships for STEM kids who busted their arse in high school. I would give a little to kids that were able to get a full ride through other means, but most would go to hard workers, with good grades, who may be unable to afford it otherwise.

Because the government deserves that money more than you. Won’t someone think of the children!
