[Brianne337]

God Bless you and your family! This was beautiful!

[DaringDirk100]

If I ever win over $25 million, I will give the remainder (any amount over $25 million) to charities, friends and family. Even at just 2% ROR, $25 million would be $500,000 per year before taxes. Thats way more than Id ever need.

[TheGSB2011]

If i won i would sleep in wake up after 16 hours of sleep, then PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY, BLOW MONEY, BLOW MONEY , BLOW MONEY, wake up at a club on the dance floor and smile because i still have 179 million, then i would put the past behind me and travel the world

[TheKushMon]

couldn't be happier for them, seems like they totally deserved it.

[malefrmbk]

first thing i would is loose sleep then call this special friend that I know and tell her now you can have that lung transplant you need and medications..she is a very giving person and deserves it..

[ZachTommyGunThompson]

If I won the lottery I would never go to a public press conference like that.

[MrRossT1]

@ZachTommyGunThompson

Stipulation of claiming the prize is that you have to show up , get your picture taken with the check. Anything else, like talking about your feelings is optional.

[SuperTomtony]

Nice to see nice people winning, instead of selfish people that get a dozen cars and a thousand cases of wild turkey...YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

i wouldnt do stuff for my friends unless they were really close to me. but i would give them no more then maybe 5 grand.

[godloves2dbow]

I would buy weed and all the hoe hoes in the world

Maybe even rent megan fox and kim kardashian for a night. lmfao

[Guajirapa]

I build a marihuana empire and help out pple financially, emotionally, medically and spiritually. NAMASTE

[truvet1]

I would pay off my students loans. Provide three generations of college eduacation. Build three schools, K-8, High school and one community college in my own neighborhood. I would open three foundations: battered and abused women, dislocated men from correctional instiutions, and children's safe haven. There would be video games, music, snacks and tutors. I would also provide three generations with a an apartment home. I would buy a farm and raise my own meat and essential foods. The end

[dollartreechic2]

I would help my parents out financially, and I would buy a condo in a secured building for me and them. It would be separate condos tho. I would buy a yaght, and I would take the rest of the money by helping those that need it most. Homeless shelters, and soup kitchens, because they were there for me when I was at my lowest in life. When all I had was 10 dollars in food stamps each month, and $200 in Welfare assistance.

[GKRecords419]

[rmeyer845]

[imluvinyourmum]

[rmeyer845]

[legonds]

Help keep my family healthy

[DirtyBlade602]

[AmericaRuinsYou]

[elderfish2]

I live in Waseca so I would get the hell out of it

[peterm89]

i would travel, eat at the finest restaurants, drive the sweetest cars and just chill out.

[Musicaldudical]

[arwen54]

what a lovely guy...humble, polite, good on them...

I would obviously be able to help many people: family, friends, and many of my favorite charities. I don't need $180 million dollars for myself, a couple to retire on, perhaps. I don't need all the material things...I just want the freedom that money can bring and the ability to spread it around responsibly and help others!

[jklfds85]

@arwen54 those are my ambitions too, if I win. Help as many people in need as I can, starting with family of course. I don't need much.

[Midnightryder7]

I would pay off my bills..get a small but cute house..then the rest of the money i would help find missing children..Right now I'm about to be homeless cause i lost my job..have no family and my friends showed there true colors..no car..phone is cut off..internet will be next..Need a job real bad..been having panic attacks durring my sleep..been thinking of suicide cause I'm afraid to be on the streets at my age of 47..thanxs from Barb

[amenamenful]

[kasiliman]

i buy a new laptop and i help my friends and i get my money my bank and buy  to eighteen years ago a motorbike and i buy fifteen years ago a moped

[kasiliman]

i buy a new laptop and i help my friends and i get to my money my bank and buy enythink

[tubofbologna]

if i won that much the first thing i would do is take my family on a nice vacation.. then when i return i would hold a banquet for all the people who have made a difference in my life... i would give them each some money, so that i will be able to share it and not have the guilty feeling later... then i would donate to st jude's hospital.. also some local charities.. churches... put a good chunk into a retirement account... invest a little... and live a nice life

[TheGSB2011]

@tubofbologna once you win the lottery nobody is your friend other than your family, i hope you do realize that, everyone around you will see you as the millionaire before they see you as a human, you have to be careful with who's around you. but everything else i do agree with

[Ugandangirl]

I would gamble... each and every dollar... gain...

[pimpc1125]

I would put a good chunk of it into children's hospitals, cancer hospitals, homeless shelters, etc. I would buy all of my friends/family a new car... then retire to a cabin in the mountains.

[iPuRpLeOuTz]

Dang I Wish That Was Me, Its Funny Seeing All These People Just Throw The Money Away Over Dumb Stuff When There Is People Out There In Need Everyday Id Do Anything To Win That Much..

[Man2be23]

Good people that are humble always win the lotto.

[TheRemedy2012]

I'm on a journey to great wealth ! I will claim the powerball win ! love everyone!!

[TheRemedy2012]

Thank you for the 35 million dollar powerball Love everyone thank you

[sammakled]

if i whne the lettry i make shore i keept for me and my wife only no sherty no nothing

[keithmaria31907]

I'll take me a nice chunk off the top maybe $10m. The rest I'll put in banks with the highest interest and live off of it while setting up scholarships to help kids, young people,and families that need it to live better lives.

[cutieshazy]

Why is it that the old people always win the lottery? 

[sjakie2408]

with that kind of money,

i would make sure noone is homeless or without healthcare in my town.

[konjunktion26]

rather give the 180 million dollars to poor people in africa.. i don´t need 180 million dollars! other people sleep on the street and die from hunger so rather give them some money but not people who already live a good life..180 million dollars could save millions of poor children in africa who die from hunger every day... and they give 180 million dollars rather some very old americans who already live good.. stupid

[duffman1x]

@konjunktion26 this is the problem with America....everyone wants to help out other countries when we cant even help out our own. Huge companies rather outsource to save money when unemployment is so low in America. Save our citizens other countries need to learn to support themselves. And we need to learn to help our people.

[konjunktion26]

with 180 million dollars i could buy me a cola! yeah 180 million dollars rock! it would change nothing in my life just that i could eat more pizza and drink more coke so i don´t miss 180 million dollars... i don´t need them! for what? i am happy without money.. as long i have a happy day and nice people around me...

[adebayous]

When i win my $250,000,000.00 lottery Jackpot,

i will start my orphanage home in Africa as a dream i had a long time ago.

[pierre52880]

lol@heartlessvietboy, the lottery have been in this country since slavery times.Trust me it dont have a effect on the economy.George Washington the first U.S President use to sign lottery tickets.The world is f...up because rich people want to get richer and dont want to share.

[narutojose2]

lol bye me a nice house and a car and u keep the change :)

[mrjoshey]

You two are perfect for the winnings! I'm only 17 now, a good kid good grades, but I live a pretty poor life, with my single mother at home barely making it paycheck to paycheck. I also live in Minnesota and I just can't begin to imagine all of good I would do If I was in ur shoes! I guess I would help out and make sure all single parents would be able to get out of debt, and get them back on the right track! It's so hard to think that just a $1 dollar ticket can ultimately change ur life and e

[heartlessvietboy]

People winning $150 Million from the Lottery is the reason why the economy is fu*** up. People gathering using 1.00 to win $175 million will cause a shut down in the entire system.

[UkPR0]

@heartlessvietboy Do u even know what a lottery is? omg..

[heartlessvietboy]

What is it?

[28myturn]

first things first,i would give my tiths to the church....then i would retire my parents from their jobs so they could enjoy the rest of their lives!!!! then who knows!!!

[refuckulate420]

@28myturn

screw church I'd donate directly to Doctors Without Borders or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Give some to my family, invest a bit and live off the interest!

[pbg98pbgpbg98pbg]

i would party as hard as i could for as long as i could.....

[dham99]

no one REALLY knows what they would do. You cant. Money changes you. All I can say is if you invest, you could easily live off the interest, and still provide for friends and family and live out your dreams, traveling, helping charities, and whatever else you truely enjoy. Just dont blame the money for your life turning around for the worse, because its the choices you make the ruin your life, not the money.

[sosssy]

Wow! 

[gendres1]

He looks like he might work for the lottery. An inside man.

[notagain001]

what happened to his granddaughter?

[vaughan1978]

I would be shocked first. I'd have to get over the shock. I would help out my family, pay off my friend's school loans, create a charity fund and attend graduate school.

[vaughan1978]

I would be shocked first. I'd have to get over the shock. I would help out my family, pay off my friend's school loans, create a charity fund and attend graduate school.

[asiandrifter1]

if i can just have 1 million.i will finally can get my neck surgery/wisdom taking out..my neck so much pain got lump ...but your lucky 2 winners...help the hospitals!! to help those in medical need..

[TaCTOuTLaW]

I would help family freinds donate to the poor invest the money start my own casino buy bugattis and 50 exotic cars my own racing track big ass mansion buy a g5 plane buy fancy clothes watches and make my own brand travel the world get that feeling and more

[MusicLuv80]

i would go to fantsy restaurant and dine in there. i want to eat without worrying about the money......  sad sad sad

[UnitedGamersUG]

if i won 180 million i would help my family and friends out of debt and thats it the rest i would invest and put in the bank so it grows.

[brickfilmproduction1]

@UnitedGamersUG so it grows???!!?!?!? isnt 180 million enough??

[jklfds85]

I would do the same: help as many people as I can.

[happyweasels]

There's this really cool lotto contest going on in Minnesota thats for music. It's called Cash and Concerts, just google it because I can't post links here in comments. I wish they had in all 50, those lucky Minnesotians

[deadcell1]

If I won I would leave the USA and live a very comfortable lifestyle some where else where no body knows me.

[ladyfoiegras]

WHEN I WIN IM GOING TO GO ON TV AND SHOUT "FUCK YOU ALL, IM RICH..IM RICH.. FUCK YOOOOOO"

:P

[kayaMoccochoc]

I would take the money and I develope jobs for many people in my area! I would make sure that all bills are taken care of then I would go out and bye this 499,000 home that I have been looking at for the past 5 years. I think I would be very wise.

[jklfds85]

@kayaMoccochoc I would spent my money wisely too. Hope you and I win!

[larsik555]

USA lotteries have great cash prizes. I play UK lottery and the average prize is only 2 million pounds if there is no rollover. Euro million lottery has 12 million...

[skyiscrying53]

I would not tell anyone that I won, change my name, move to a gated community and pay my mother and mine bills off. I would also get a few nip/tucks...lol

[depletable]

@skyiscrying53 Yeah, I wouldn't tell anyone. Even if they read it in the paper, I'd deny it. Say, "I wish, that must be someone with the same name..."

[papjuno]

Crazy Moolah

[bruce0767]

these are the kind of people u like to see win the lottery.good people

[folklord85]

yay as expected another white couple has won if you are black, hispanic, or any other race besides white please play a sport get a scholarship try to go to college dont bet on the lottery unless you are white and older than 40.

[moknowsky]

@folklord85 ~ that is bullshit mostly niggers and spics win the lottery as the lottos best customers are poor people !

[Rubyredrose1954]

I rest assured that my life would never be the same! May GOD guide and bless all who are this fortunate! I am sorry for the loss of their granddaughter! Money cannot erase that kind of pain!

[jonathancuitzillo]

idk its to much money, but i will help all my family and then become an alcoholic :D

[malefrmbk]

help some people that have there homes in forclosure ..help out some city services since the mayor is laying off alot of city workers especially in the dept of education even school aids are important ...

[questmotivation]

give it back in service to all who are in need , Haiti housing, samoa housing , chile housing feed those in need and drill wells where needed to Goal setting program for kids promoted help friend and relatives and tr to do it anonomously .show the love jesus showed us.

[depletable]

@questmotivation lol, easy for you to say.

[moknowsky]

@questmotivation ~ Screw that what about helping people in our own country ?

[ZEITGEISTism]

After making sure all my family members needs were met ( and of course mine too I Aint no saint !) I would then travel around all the third world countries and investigate what group had the biggest needs Then I would invest in them in a way in which the people can start to help themselves out of poverty So they can achieve.. and have... DIGNITY and HOPE ! THAT.... would be money

WELL SPENT !

[Sheilaarkadie]

learnt a thing or two, Just google Heavy Dollars - very very easy to follow,, the free kit gave me everything i needed to start making some nice money

[krypptikksouslayer]

i'll be hue hephner :D

[69superbike]

I would buy stuff, do stuff and help friends and family.

[legalsomali]

i wud buye ur bike lol

[denncita]

@69superbike that's what you're saying now, then you become all greedy

[bjaminstuart]

Buy a nice car, a truck. And buy property.

[xkomatsuxx]

give michael d aucoin a million i could use it with a kid and no job

[TheThura]

haaaaay haaaaay hay haaaaaay haay!!! lol

[SiteInvestigator]

I would remain anonoumous. still make my kids work. buy a nice house in a gated community.not a mansion.help some folks out not by much though. Give some money to charity anonoumous of course.Tell those who ask what I do for a living lie and say I'm a business owner.And if I spend careless I would do it in a different state different city.Perhaps Beverly Hills area.Or Miami maybe even Las Vegas.I would try and be an asshole as much as I can to the people I deal with.If I had to talk to them.

[legalsomali]

i would shit on those who treated me badd in the past haha

[tomtom19992002]

I will figure it out just hand me the Moneyyyyyyy!!!!

[patsaxon]

I play the lottery all the time, and what I can afford to pay. All it takes is one ticket.

[imprezaver4]

I'll make a movie with Michael Bay

double my earnings and throw all

my money into Apple Computers

shares in Nasdaq... and watch it

grow... hire an expert currency

analyst to increase my funds for

a few folds. And hopefully start

my own design firm... a bit of a

cracked-nut, ain't I... huh? Just dreaming... :)

[802wolves]

i'd buy alot of nug

[Bazz7999]

I don't know?

I never been in that situation before

I can only imagine-that's it

[atfatw]

Ha ha yah sure offdah. minnesota is the greatest place in der yooniverse its so great to be from minnesota. dere naturally bettuh den annyone.

I sure hope dat yew ar goin to spend that money only in minnesota and no place

else ya shure and be sure to put all of it in duh bank

[titioriaku]

build a church and help the poor !

[mcakajuice]

hook me up with a mil! please :) your dick my mouth!

[khartookhar]

I would keep 2 mill and I would give the rest (178 mill) to many many poor people on this planet. that is a lot of money. I could help at least  1780 poor families with 100,000 each.

did you hear me God? ;-)

[rockyonemambo]

I'd invest in the big 3 - Arms, Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics. And I'd buy haircuts for all my friends!

[crewlla]

buy a farm, build my dream home, buy a RV., give to family. stay at home and bake cookies with my kids. loose weight. buy a indoor swimming pool. cry and cry and cry.

[bakir733]

I would place the money in a secured bank account, keep doing what I love, and donate the interest I get every month to several charity organizations. 6% of $100 million = 6 million a year/ 500,000 every 6 months which amount to over $80,000 a month in interest. You could help people every month and not run out of money :)

[adulamunda]

I think your math is off. 6 million a year breaks down to 500,000 every month, not every 6 months. Too bad they don't get 100 mil to invest. After taxes, it said they cleared 59 mil.

[joselosanchez]

Do you really want to help others? Help me please, LOL you won $180 millon, my like will be fixed with $25K LOL.

God bless u Sr. and hope you're still doing good. I keep playing every day!

[tallgg33]

I will help all my relatives and friends back home and donate to orphans and children. I will become a God's messenger and travel the world to make people believe in miracles and dreams!!!

[katasmama]

i would take my mother, daughter and go get my brother and his kids and take the hell off!!! never to see any of the aggravating ass people we all have in our lives!! relax and do whatever we want!!!

[MrChubbington]

First thing I would do is shut my mouth and keep as low a profile as possible. very difficult ...Once it's in a decent bank I would negiciate carefully a decent interest . You can find interest rates of 10% a year with that sum in a safe way. no speculative bullshit. Then live off the interest 18 million a year with intelligent tax , and offshore accounts your left with 12 million ie a million a month. That's if you spend it, you just get more wealthy with time. An opinion.

[jonnah68]

Wish you all the happiness and joy, good health and blessings to you and your family. we are in the same league LOTTERY JACKPOT WINNERS motm

[yapudancolombia]

I would go to a Meditranean Island and think, study and pray how i could impact this world, but have fun doing it aswell

[kurdlove789]

is that suppose to mean a good thing

?????

[Presmar]

Sounds like a great plan nepalihercules ;)

[nopseudosleft56]

@nepalihercules OMG, let me guess, you're a 17 year old teenager and the hormones are raging!!??? lol!

[YungDickie]

@nepalihercules Yea man, lol. forget the class, how bout the whole school. lol

[observationmode]

if i won lots of money, i'd build a healing center for trauma survivors.

[captionpsycho]

if i won i would feel like god.

[tigerboyX]

I may buy a manison or I might just by a really cool condo. I would travel and live life how I really want to

[zacharyhoyt]

woot good song choice, pink floyd xD

[burby8100]

what would I do with 180 million dollars? put it in a bank and live off the interest that might be around let's say 5 million dollars a year which you can't go wrong with.lol

[tigerboyX]

We think the same way

[atebm]

it is most planed!! House, masion i mean. Holidays where is sunny, spread to my family to make sure they have good start, and then help people, children, where no clean water or school. Love my luck!!

[cbell48]

I would buy a 2.2 million dollar penthouse in MidtownMiami, a Maybach Mercedes Benz and the S63 AMG, about a million in custom jewlery, 100K for 25 flight hours on a private jet. 10K clothing shopping spree in aventura mall. Split a million to different charities 100K each. Set up a muti million dollar trust fund for my sister and get her and my mother a new home.

[captionpsycho]

i would feel like god if i won that money.

[williamxxx40]

I would start an orphanage in Mexico or any other third world country and also would create a business inside the orphanage to allow children to become self-supporting and make the orphanage grow by growing the business. There are many things that can be done to make sure that the orphanage would produce profesional workers and never have to close its doors for lack of financial resources. (I'm talking about self-support systems).

Chau !

[AlaskanPipeWorm]

why are you helping other countries when OUR country is total shit?

[tubofbologna]

PAY MY BILLS AND FAMILYS BILLS, AND MY 2 BEST FRIENDS... I WOULD DONATE 25% TO ST JUDE CHILDRENS RESEARCH HOSPITAL AND USE 25% TO CLOTH AND FEED FAMILIES IN NY TOWN.. I WOULD BUY A HOUSE AND CAR, PUT ENOUGH TO LIVE OFF IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNRT, THEN BUY A LARGE RV AND TAKE MY BROTHER AND FATHER AROUND THE COUNTRY TO VISIT RELATIVES, t

[s7r337sw33p3r]

well my plan as it has been for a few years now it to become wealthy and than help all of my friends, family and anyone else truly willing to make a difference in their lives become wealthy so that everyone can enjoy life the way its meant to be, financially free as well as all the time in the world to do what they want when they want to :D

[87willie]

I TRAVLE WITH ME AND MY LOVED ONES! Enjoy the luxury of life.

[JackJ1957]

I would do full time ministry work - help the poor, the crippled, lame, blind - orphans and widows in their distresses. Share the Gospel with those who have never heard it.

[franceshernandezl]

Make a recicling business, with the best workers.

[RideTheLightning1989]

I really wouldn't care if the government took half back. Even if after taxes they only had $50MILLION, they could bank it and live off of the interest rate for the rest of their lives.

$50MILLION in the bank will still bring you in about $2MILLION a year from the interest.

[Brandonly23]

i would start my own lottery :D.

[elzy133]

LOL! I like that one.

[odracirseraoseia1999]

Wow! That's like... €1.500.

[nanaenanaja]

He said"

"Money is not as important as frendship & helping others"

He sais that NOW!

What were his thoughts BEFORE he won?

[Cutchswife]

That's the trouble with the Amercian lotteries the goverment claw nearly half of your prize back!

[ardyay]

I see in my country the Philippines if anyone wins a lotto jackpot example P180Million it is tax free. If 2 or more winners of this it is only by dividing the jackpot and still tax free.

[Brandonly23]

it's not tax free. the purpose of a lottery is to TAX the lottery for federal revenue. don't worry, it's taxed somewhere along the line.

[Cutchswife]

That's true. In England we pay tax at the point of purchase so our jackpots are what they say they are going to be. Lotteries ALWAYS charge tax! lol

[cschin11]

they actually take 2/3 of it. if you win 180 million and take the cash buy out it brings it down to 90 million, then you have to pay 25% federal tax and 5% state tax on that which brings you down to 60 million

[Cutchswife]

Thanks for the clarification :) It still doesn't change the fact that most of the money is clawed back by the state. They tell you have won 180m when in fact you have done nothing of the sort I know that 60m is a lot of cash but if you are promised a certain jackpot that is what you should get!. In England at the moment our Euromillions Jackpot is up to 92 million pounds and if any of us win it that's what we get-nothing is clawed back.

[tubofbologna]

YOLU CAN CHOOSE TO PAY TAXES AT THE END OF THE YEAR,,, THEN DONATE ENOUGH TO LIWER THE BRACKET and save more than you donated, put the rest in a savings account to earn a few hundred thousand on it before you have to pay it out

[Cutchswife]

Sound pretty complicated! lol they should just give you the cash and let you be.

[AlaskanPipeWorm]

That's what an airhead like you would do.. CASH OUT N SPEND!!!11

[Cutchswife]

You know nothing about me and much less can understand what I am saying. You truly are a retard.

[tiger2371]

i would wipe my ass with it

[Newline2008]

I love to see ppl like them winning: poor people, not a few of rich bastards who can afford a ton of tickets

[BlikjeBier]

over here all loteries are tax-free, much nicer!

[BlikjeBier]

i for sure would be pretty pissed if the state stole $100,000,000 of my money!

[BlikjeBier]

minus like 55% taxes, what a rip off

[IdiomsEffect]

yea right he's lying, he's prob not gonna give a time to people

[MykaWorld]

I would buy a 2 million dollar mansion and fill it with 3 models with phat asses and they would have to please me sexually every day, one dark skin model, one rican model and one white model

[moknowsky]

@MykaWorld ~ Sounds like a nigga on the table !!

[warillion]

pay all my friends and families bills and make sure everyone i knew that was my friend before the money was helped along there life too

[Shane1163]

I live in Waseca.
