_3rd part
Alcohol, alcohol, snacks, I serve the pool, music, waterfall, and sunshine! And my company! That is the most important part. Did he know them all before winning the lottery?
Oh yes, everyone! These friends for about 10 years or more, those who are my teammates, my bartender friends ... They start work later in the night. I'm bored at noon, so I need friends to come with me!
And the total cost of all this? I don’t know, not much, not much. It does not matter if you win the lottery.
Hi, I'm going to jump in the water for you! Jack built his own paradise in this $ 300,000 place. There is only one small thing missing in his imperfect life. More sex! Definitely more sex! I am in a bad condition.
I need a real woman, two real women, three real women, whatever! Jack is always surrounded by young women but is not yet married.
A life devoid of financial worries, and one that involves much more relaxation and recreation. But his parents, who have a share in winning with you, are not happy with his lifestyle.
They stayed just 5 minutes from there. Open the door! Here comes Jack! How are you, Junior? Both 73-year-old Jack Senior and his wife Sharon want their son to find a wife and are concerned about his loose life.
And they do not hesitate to remind her every time she visits. I don't mind if she can get a job now, part-time doing something.
She may be a little clean in her house. Lazy baby of mine! Sweet lazy! I'm not lazy, I don't like working! Golf was tough today. It was hot there. Golf, swimming parties, darts too! But you never invite us to use your pool.
You can pass now if you like. Not tomorrow. Tomorrow is Bikini Sunday. They should have a bare Thursday as well.
A Perfect Tuesday!
That's why we have gray hair, your mother has gray hair! Thanks to Junior! Jack Senior and Sharon are very smart for their winnings. Their only luxury: this 370m² house with a large Shih Tzu Pepita yard for them to roam.
My father was a blacksmith while my mother lived at home to look after the family. The couple had to work hard to become successful nor are they accustomed to living in such luxury.
This is my kitchen.
I have a nice microwave and a good refrigerator. I do all my cooking here. Even a dishwasher, which I had never owned in my entire life! And do you use it? No! I use it on Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Sharon and Jack Senior could not afford to pay for all this with their pension, which is less than a thousand dollars a month.
Jack finally was able to fulfill one of his heart's desires.
Welcome to my basement, the best thing about the house. My bottom of the human cave. Where men can be men! This is his pride and joy, with the living room of the film and the breathtaking poster of a ticket that changed his life.
They are all out. It was our birthday. Numbers 4, 8, 17, 20, 21. They come out the way I put them down on the ticket.
Before hitting the jackpot, the lives of both sons in his family
it looked like it had already been painted - it had few jobs and no pay and many years of hard work.
We never gave the kids money to spend. They were paperboys, washing dishes ... They worked at the gas station, where cars pass by. Since he was 14 years old.
They make their own money. They know what performance is. Believe me. Not anymore!
It is not necessary! That's why I've been working since I was 12! Therefore, he is no longer caught up in the ‘sleep routine of work ...
Now, Jack is a lottery boy. And in the US, the lottery is big business. Encouraging Americans to continue playing and betting, jackpots continue to grow. And the winners made the first pages and became famous overnight. Welcome, the latest California millionaire!
It seems that people do not get enough of the lives of these lucky winners. Some have even been featured in reality TV shows. $ 180 million you guys are my best new friends!
Like this, when the host helps them find their dream home. The happy winners are eager to show the world their new way of life beating gold.
We are now in Denver, Colorado, just below the Rocky Mountains. This attractive building is home to the state lottery commission.
Contrary to popular belief, the lottery industry is not run by big business but by government officials.
Hello, how are you doing today? I think I just won something. Kay is a real estate agent.
You have 5 out of 6 numbers on the latest Powerball. I think I won 30,000. This fixed amount will allow him to join the winners' club that the lottery chooses to appear in its community.
Say 30,000! It looks great! It's really fun! The Happiest Place on Earth! Kay's photo will soon be posted on the Lottery website when he will join the wall of winners. In America, money is not considered.
And when people win, they are eager to make it public.
People should see real Colorado winners. When they see someone like Kay, they say, 'OK, someone has won!'
The Colorado Lottery makes the winners very happy -
and the winners seem happy to tell the whole world. Recording people’s reactions when they find out how much they won makes for good advertising.
And we're going to surprise Diego B with a big $ 250,000 check. Hi Diego! How are you?
We've got great news for you, I think your Christmas is a lot better. You just won $ 250,000. The lottery planned everything in advance with Diego's family.
What does a quarter of a million dollars mean to you? It changes my life and everyone around me. Are you George? Hello!
Whether people are amazing at work or at home, the message is the same. This can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. All you have to do is play. Check out the check! Oh my God! I can't see - I have to put on my glasses.
But there is also the dark side of the lottery. Controversial winners and their check advice on financial matters awaiting them. For some, winning the jackpot could be the beginning of a nightmare.
In Canada, just across the border from Niagara Falls, Daniel was a victim of his own success. He is a member of Niagara United, an advisory team that has helped him get back on track. Do you feel back there?
Hello hello? Do you hear? He was only 23 years old when he won a jackpot worth five million dollars. I felt like I was on the ground and this money would never run out.
It was as if I were living my life as a rock star. I just went out for fun. Within two years, maybe 2, maybe 2.5 million was no longer in bad business. Still, others struggled for the next two years because of drug abuse ... a practice that was sponsored by winning the lottery.
I was very addicted. I had to turn to drug dealing, and it just backed off. 400, 500, 600 dollars a day. He ended up in prison, where he spent 2.5 years selling drugs.
Surprisingly, this is what saved him. He had to be clean. This is where I went and some of the things that helped me get to where I am today. Daniel is far from an isolated case. 1/3 of the winners end up losing everything. It is what is known as the 'curse of the lottery'.
Daniel's father, Jed, and his sister, Naomi, watched helplessly as they fell off the cliff and ate some food. I almost cried. I said, don't look at me because I'm going to cry a lot. I was wearing sunglasses.
Daniel is now back on the right track. But, at the age of 40, the former millionaire had no money and had to return to live with his parents in a relatively modest house. Grease the people.
Do you need a drink? No, I'm fine. A man who once believed he was the world's richest man when he spent as much as $ 1,000 a day on drugs is now working as a car mechanic. Daniel is still recovering.
The lottery almost broke him and his whole family. This was after winning the lottery. You can see my eyes, you see, they are all black at the edges due to not sleeping much. It ended up being the worst thing that ever happened to our family, it brought him down.
All of us, we have lost him. We tried many different times to help him stop doing what he was doing.
Trying to advise her. ‘No just leave me alone, just leave me alone!’ As soon as the check was issued, Jed and Naomi saw false friends, corrupt investors, and other fraudsters coming down on Daniel like vultures.
They put their nails deep. It could not be postponed. When he knocked, that was a calling card, and he came to us and asked if he could come home.
We gave him rules: at least this is not the case. We always loved him - unconditionally. Daniel's $ 5,000,000 win actually ruined 15 years of his life. He has not bought a lottery ticket since.
For all the winners, managing millions of dollars without preparation can be a daunting task. One of them decided to launch a campaign against these “easy money” methods.
Timothy Schultz is one of the youngest Powerball winners in the US. Before hitting the jackpot, he used to work at a gas station like this.
Tim was 21 and broke when he won a $ 14 million check.
So, my dad woke me up, I was asleep and he knocked on the door and said, 'Someone won Powerball' because he knew I was playing. So I looked up the numbers in the newspaper. It was surreal, it sounded like a dream!
We started hugging, it was like two kids at a candy store. A young man working at a petrol station in Iowa sold his winning ticket! He became rich and famous overnight. I could not go anywhere.
I couldn't go to the store without people seeing me, I had people asking for my autograph. Twenty years later, he is back in the limelight.
Hello! How are you? Please, one Powerball ticket? But he still plays the lottery every week in the hope that he will win again. Just holding a ticket is like ... I mean, I know the power that comes with this in case you win. Emotional excitement is still there, but her fortune has dropped from $ 14 million to $ 5 million.
