[boydowninhouston]

Zero to hero!!!

[tupacoutlaw3]

he seems like a very humble guy

[DKproductions]

WOW

[jreidtastic]

Humble dude. Good guy, wins.

[hulksmash911911]

people say when you get alot of money you personality changes. I disagree with that, I think that your true personality comes out , because you are able to do the things you only dreamed of.

[marambo2000]

That is awesome.... Hope i win it

[tonefresh85]

That moment when I would cry and thank God for his blessings he gave, me

[Marqueezy9]

Dam kinda felt what he did watching this video minus the millions :'(

[WVliberty]

[Askimoula]

I live in arkansas and i knew kentucky had a jackpot lottery winner but never knew there was one in missouri ! Its high time we have one in arkansas too!!!

[consumista]

Gimme some luck

[TEDOVSKY]

SAW THIS GUY AND HIS WIFE ON A TV CHAT SHOW FOLLOWING HIS WIN. FOR ME THE GOOD THING IS THAT HIS WIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. HE WILL ALWAYS KNOW THAT SHE WAS THERE FOR HIM WHEN HE WAS BROKE, SO NOW HE'S GOT ALL THAT MONEY, HER LOVE WAS , AND WILL ALWAYS, BE TRUE!

[furiousjuffowup]

Awhh great for him : )

[RASCALASKA]

I won't know how to feel

[MrArmboy]

Is this not the coolest reaction to winning that much money. I wouldn't be able to contain myself. Just imagine.

[juanbri103286]

[vicarious8989]

[theRonald511]

[MrIndeeply]

I do not think i would have let anyone held my tickets i do not know how i would have reacted probably super protective

[justinmeason]

Bugatti, beachhouse, and s'mores

[ALPHADOG3]

calmest dude ever, nice seeing the average Joe win, congrats to chris

[kamaaladiin]

Luckiest man alife

[StarFighters76]

Those who are truly meant to win it, will win it, may it be by the powers that be or something else. I am not meant to win it, but only be teased by it (numbers are usually one off everytime), but then I'm teased by alot of things that could bring potential happiness. It's rather sickening and depressing if you think about it.

[userx2013]

lets just hope he doesnt blow it all. congrats tho

[mjgc8755]

My God every time he hands the ticket to those people I'm like "AHHHHHH GET YOUR TICKET BACK MAN!"

[JDowPCs]

good for him; being so calm. Shows that he'll be wise with it.

[Outragedjoker]

I'd cause a lot of trouble with that kind of money.

[bigbeeforever]

that is freaking cool!



[esteburrito]

its awesome how chill he is about it

[IZZYxSKiiLZ]

he won $258.5 million

and he's all casual.

[ThanhCuTi]

Wow... he's so calm for having just won 258 mils. Looks like a nice guy though. Good for him.

[Samogon2009]

:)))))

[itsmalpal]

I live in Marshall..... so i am confident anyone can win a lottery ticket. We had another winner on some big money like days later. it's crazy!

[TheRemedy2012]

[kaizenx68]

@TheRemedy2012 congrats remedy you said you would win,I think winning 112,310 is just as good as winning the big one because you already have it.One in the hand is better than two in the bush.

[SinhCung]

never hand ur winning ticket to a stranger

[Skankpronger]

thats one thing thats so great about the lottery, it can change a life in the blink of an eye. i was amazed at how calm and cool he was knowing that he had the magic ticket. I would have been shakeing at the very least. i wish them the best of luck and it couldnt of happened to a better couple. they deserve it .

[dandybear1]

Awesome, I hope he and his family enjoy it !

[kaa10]

i love how calm and collective he is, smooth.

[MusicLuv80]

how did they filmed this? were the news there to film the store and they picked the gas station where the winner was working?

[CaptainLotto]

@MusicLuv80 As the caption describes, the Lottery was on site to gather footage of the retail location that sold the winning ticket and was there when the winner walked up.

[ShooterMaGavin]

Awsome, I still dream of winning every day, and yes he acted very calm, I think I would be having a heart attack!

[TheRemedy2012]

I will claim my share of money There is lottery drawings every week . I will post after my big win  "Thank you"

[1Earth0Karma8]

This made me smile

[Bubbasizer]

I remember reading about him online, i think it said he was making like $7.00 an hour or something, and having troubles financially, well not anymore. Good for him, seems like a nice guy.

[nbusin]

WoW. He is so calm and cool.

[razorhound79]

Everyone's dream!

[kaizenx68]

Good for him man hope him all the best,that was great to see as it happened good for him and his family.Hope them all the best!

[EliteGamer001]

@TheRemedy2012 I can understand how you feel. You remind me of my dad, he wants to win so he could share the money with us. He has been doing it for over 30 years and he said he could win. So we could win.

[TheRemedy2012]

@EliteGamer001 thank you for your kind words. 2011 is going to be awesome ' Happy New Year!

[TheRemedy2012]

I will win the 87 million dollar powerball october 30th 2010 buy our family dream home and then splurge on a 2010 shelby super snake black on black It's going to be total SWEETNESS!!!

[crewlla]

[skriller123]

[chrisfullofsteel]

[brotherskeeper7]

Yea, he is very down to earth, I hope that he will stay that way. I'm happy for him. I really hope that this will happen to me, someday. I hope that it can happen to a lot of us that are happy from him.

[mtotheHo]

Seeing people like this restores my faith in mankind :)

[TheRemedy2012]

I feel like I will be the next big winner! The law of attraction in this universe is real. And I do believe My family will be living in our dream home !

[residualrevenge]

That guy is living a dream..

[odgixxer]

His man is a Ideal example of how humble somebody can be in good nature and integrity, usually people like this ultimately do well after something this unexpected. I could only imagine what hes going through right now!! Were all proud of you, life is what you make of it enjoy it friend!!! =]

[GQ1022]

That is so crazy!! You can tell it didn't even really sink in the amount of money he actually won.. wow!

[bfnfamily]

I would collapse on the floor! I wouldn't even eat for a few days!

[dateman303]

That was awesome!!!! Glad he won!!!!

[tamgrsw]

Stay rich Chris!

[PFCFOOTBALLBAT]

Wow.. ecerytime I buy a ticket all i can do is think about how great it would be to pay off my moms house and put my brothers and sister through college. It's such a great thing how regular people can become millionairs over night. I wonder if he will help the less fortunate?

[aima46]

he look like very nice person...good for you and all your family...

[skyiscrying53]

LOL,yes, honey, i'm not only taking my vacation but i'm when i get back i will be the owner...

[Sunnyhappyday]

God Bless you Chris!

[fishermandude100]

my moms boyfreind almost won 200,000 he got 21 23 28 for 5/15 but there was a 20 for powerball and instead of that 20 there was a 5 we needed that 20 grrrrrrr

[tubewatcher314]

hopefully that will be me soon :) lol

[Aprilshowersss]

so happy for him. finally someone who actually NEEDS it! So tired of seeing snobby pampered people winning stuff like this.

[JohnBennerman]

Damn he's lucky.,

[Godfather921]

Good for you chris man...Hes such a humble and laid back guy...Seeing a guy like this win is great...seeing some already rich guy win it is lame as hell, even tho that ticket changed his life financially I doubt he will live life much differently than he is now...you heard the man..he wants to fix his teeth..pay a few bills and get a hot rod...he doesnt need planes and boats to be happy...i love to see a guy like this win...go chris!

[nature10879]

Wow! this awoseme. You did it dude..I am happy for ya and get that hot rod you said on the news as soon as possible.

[nature10879]

This is a cool dude & I certainly belief that before he won deep inside he thought about how it would be awesome 4 him to win this kind of money. He deserves it, his kids deserve it and his family too. 4 those of u saying if u were him..well u wouldn't be him, u can win urs too. Lets show appreciation to this man's winnings,unlike those who win and go back to their jobs,even claiming: same old shit,no changes, we going to wk again. Lets speak of others the way we would like to be spoken of pliz.

[holdfast65802]

Good job! That is a lot of money! I came across chrisshawdotcom

[RinRinKitty]

Congratulations!!

[brefforde]

i am so very happy for you. don't know you but god chouldn't blessed a better person

and may god continue to show you the way. have fun!!!!.

[pattilabelle73]

Good for him! :) What a blessing!

I think I might need to visit Missouri! That's where about 60% of the jackpot winners on the Powerball site purchased their tickets. It's a bit strange...

[expatted]

Cool. Lucky guy.

[briggenhirt1]

Rumor has it the city of Marshall has asked this man for some money and he refused them. His reasons were that when he asked for help less than a week ago they refused him. I think for his sake, it would be wise to move as he is a target now. form law enforcement and others also.

[MTTG1982]

I would had pissed on myself, then woke up @ the hospital:-) I HATE WORKING SO F**KN MUCH..........LOL

[bs99rm]

this is so cool i wish more people like this would win more >>>>>>

[90260]

This Video just gives hope to millions

[ENJAYALLDAY57]

god bless him this makes me soo happy..i love to see someone win who really needs it and deserves it...hope hes smart with it

[l1998]

@STiTypeUK lol

[STiTypeUK]

wow, my eyes would have been so watery... thats so much joy right there!!!

congrats to the winner.. not many people get to experience that in their lifetime. dont squander your winnings tho. be smart.

[Kidorid]

Finally someone who needs it, gets it!

[Arachnidius]

He didn't seem too excited that he'd just won $258,500,000... All in a day's work... :p

[androsmitty92]

@Arachnidius ahaha that would have been me. I wouldn't have made any facial expressions what so ever. xD I would try to be calculating how much the government would take out and then figure how much I should put into  investments and what to invest in.

[Pacmanvice]

He should not get the money and it should go back to the jackpot. He bought it from a place that he worked at and that is against the rules.

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

Dude! You did it man! So what are you gonna do with the loot?

[nowUhave]

What is the tattoo of on his left forearm???

[mckennakaylee1]

I am happy for him and his family. But others don't realize no matter how much money he has, that does not make him made of stone. He has feelings and who is to say he is not reading these comments. It makes me sad that some people are so jealous and vindictive that they must cut others down to make themselves feel good. If we treated others the way we would want to be treated the world would be a better place.

[nowUhave]

What is the tattoo of on his left forearm???

[shortie31kk]

after tax he will only get half BUT COME ON I WOULD BE FUKEN HAPPY WINNING 100 GRAND LMAO YET ALONE 100 MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!

[basterisk]

@shortie31kk actually he takes the lump sum (smart), after tax he will only get about a fourth

[SexCyberGuideCom]

nice video

[claud4]

CONGRATS Chris!

[boredcookie3]

He gives total strangers his ticket for 258 million. A fool and his money are soon parted.

[shanedude93]

@boredcookie3 They have on video who purchased the ticket with what numbers, so it doesnt really matter what he does with it.

[boredcookie3]

@shanedude93

Lol. If you believe that, then you're an idiot too. Why do think you have to sign your name on the back of it? You think it's just a piece of worthless paper? Then throw it away, dummy.

[shanedude93]

@boredcookie3 Your honestly retarded.First, he is giving to old white ladies who he can probably catch up to if they try to run with the ticket. Second, they have on tape who purchased the ticket at that time so they know who it is.

[boredcookie3]

@shanedude93

Hey, look at me everybody! I'm on video! Here, take my ticket! I don't need it.

They got me on videeeeeooo! Hahaha....Good one, buddy. Using your brain there.

[shanedude93]

@boredcookie3 i ment the security camera in the store.... but i guess this video counts to. You just seem like one retard who cant understand that.

[RubiconJohn]

god bless toothless americans sans education who win the lottery. god knows it will make his life a whole lot better.

[FleaIsMyHero]

4-8-15-16-23-42

[hunisbeast]

hopefully he doesn't do anything stupid with the money.

[itsbryankiddo]

that's the best kind of winner right there someone who needs it.

not some uptight suit worker complaining how he can't get any from the secretary driving home in a beamer

may the best wishes to him :]

[craigqc]

buy some teeth

[rsj1107]

What a cool video. I wish him and is family the best. It is how I would picture myself hitting the powerball!! Take care of your family brother!! Love is number 1, but having the money to go with that love makes it that much sweeter.

[lujia]

wow just wow. The guy bought the wining ticket from the store he worked at. I love the reaction of that lady. Did you win? Chris you serious? Are these the numbers?

[Buckeyes202]

hes so calm, if i had the winning ticket i wouldn't let anyone touch it

[badboy841311]

thats insane!! I would not be able to hold back. I would call my family and tell them to quit work and come home and not have to worry about shit anymore. I'd be wayyy more emotional.then again im only 19

[txcrewcut]

i wish him nothing but the best!

he is way cool

[TheRobineggs]

i love how hes so calm :)

[Hernan21x]

wow so much money!!

[TheSuper112233]

i would not show my face like that

[MrFootDick]

first rule of winning the lottery, don't do what this guy is doing.

he's gonna have a million friends and be broke in a year.

[jondough83]

lmao, exactly

[asalomondrin]

I love how he asks for a day off and his boss goes NO! and then her face when she realizes he actually won 260 million bucks.

[baweery]

great some toothlelss redneck wins 250 million

[adfields459]

see how they start kissing his ass

[TheBlueBeagle]

yikes don't smile!!!

[cryan71]

Good for him.

[sugardaddylifestyle]

welcome to the sugardaddies world!!

[shaqqy88]

He's pretty CALM lol

[xxxvii]

[MlZZOU]

[MultiGarage1]

[MultiViolation]

[Boodhunnilesh]

Good guy very modest, happy he got it

[fckngrbtch]

GOOD FOR HIM! :D

[gtcheme]

Dang! I'm from Columbia and saw this, I was so close! Glad somebody from Missouri won it!

[ciderpress134]

I would rather see this guy win any day then the typical 75 year old retiree. This money probably won't last more than 1 year......but this guy is going to have a heck of a lot of fun!!!

[Spazum888]

now he can buy teeth

[xcrazydrifterx]

damn who can be this calm and collected after winning $258 million? i would go NUTS!

[alwaysblank]

Americans say Europe is over taxed and yet in Europe lottery winnings are tax free. This guy will probably get $5.78 after taxes.

[danielkvottrup]

@alwaysblank TAX FREE ? - Nothing is tax free, it's just a matter of whether it's the winner who has to pay the tax or the actual lottery owner who pays it.

[TommyBergen]

@alwaysblank Where do you have that fact about Europe from? Do you know how many different countries there are? Do you know all of their tax laws?

[alwaysblank]

@TommyBergen UK lottery is tax free and the company which runs it pays 12% tax. There is also a Euro lottery open to people from Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Again, winnings are tax free in all countries except Switzerland and the company which runs the lottery pays only 12% tax on its ticket revenue. "well done, you won $200 mil, now if you actually want your money we will need $120 mil in errr, admin fees" ;-{}

[dmix09]

can i has a million dollars =[

[britrob24]

It's so sad to see all the hateful comments that have accrued in a matter of days... stop being jealous of this man and try your own luck and maybe grow up while you're at it. And like someone said, all people can mention are his teeth, you think he doesn't realize he needs dental work? He already mentioned it when he said how he'd spend the money. Leave him alone.

[happysauce123]

too bad half of it is going to tax.. LOL.

[Foderick]

EPIC FOOTAGE

[realredzebras]

@Kyanlikethepepper ---stupid, you are just jealous!

[sarahjf2007]

aww thats so sweet- & he just handled it so calmly. he deserves it  :)
