It was great news in Nebraska. Despite their newly acquired wealth, David and Erica managed to stay afloat. I told my friends before: We are all friends, if you are friends with us on Tuesday, you are friends with us today.
Time. We do not want to lose them. They are the ones who describe us. Family, friends, church. We will not change.
I'm still wearing an old Nebraska hat, that won't change! 5 years on, family, friends, and culture are still important to the lives of Harris.
Even now, they can enjoy it the way they want. Tomorrow, Independence Day. On this very special national holiday,
Americans respect those who fought for their freedom
and keep fighting.
Gretna proudly displays a star-studded banner throughout the city. As a patriotic family, event Harris will not be missed all over the world. Do you want pineapple up here or down there?
The floor is fine. Tonight, they are having a big party in the district. In a few hours from now, they will be welcoming 150 people into their backyard.
And in Nebraska, a good party is about food - and much more. Erica could not hire a feeder ... I think all the other things, put it in that. A pig pulled from another.
But in this house, cooking is a family affair. Now, how many pounds do you think, Steve? There are about 100lbs of brisket, 40lbs of shredded pork, and 12 rib racks.
Despite their wealth, Harris adheres to the cooking costs of their working-class roots. They do not want champagne and caviar-like other millionaires.
No! It's very funny, we call ourselves 'rich red'. We've never been to that, we don't change, and we have not changed, so we have not changed. What has changed, though, is the number of visitors that can be accommodated.
Time at 6 pm. The whole family and all the neighbors sitting on the Harrigs' high-tech lake, in squares reminiscent of a public water park. Erica’s stepmother Mel never misses a party at Harris ’.
It's always a fun party! For all food, alcohol, and pool party. What's wrong with it? Before the lottery? It was a down payment, and everyone was living on their own. And now it's just a big family. And we all have a party!
The lottery has not changed a couple's life - benefits their family and friends too. For Michael, Erica's father, this money is a blessing.
I don't have to worry about them, nor do I have to worry about my other two daughters because I know that they will take care of my daughters.
So, the family is better because I think we know, no matter what the future holds, we will be fine. When they are poor, they would give their last dollar to anyone who needed it, they are doing the same now.
What changed their way of life. They live a very different life, but as you can see here today, they live with it and other people.
Since they received their check for $ 62 million, Harris is still as active as ever. There are no banks, lawyers, or CEOs on their guest list.
You have found people from all walks of life. He has a fireman, a plumber, an electrician, and a boy who does food service right here. Are you worried that people will help her?
Not these people, these people you call friends, and you know they are your friends because they are here for the right reasons.
David was very generous with his friends. This small circle cost about $ 12,000. After riding a 12-person conga down a water slide, fireworks start ... A 10-minute spectacle costs $ 8,000.
Five years after the win, David and Erica22 kept their promise.
They stay true to their roots.
However, there are many temptations to win the lottery.
And money can disappear very quickly ... Almost every day ... Jack makes 18 full holes in his favorite subject.
Nice shot! I never beat Jack! You can't stand the pressure, baby! You can't stand the pressure! Now Jack is in his 50's and he can still live an exciting life that was a dream come true.
My name is Jack Stressing, of Buffalo, New York.
We won the lottery 4 years ago. $ 1000 a day for life. And it does not end until I die! So, I no longer have to worry about anything, and this is what I do with my vacations! Jack won under Harris, but now he has money going on.
She, her parents, and her brother win ‘Cash for Life’, $ 365,000 a year until they die split in two. So, every year Jack, Jeff, and Jack Senior are hooked up to $ 120,000 regardless.
Jack immediately quit his job as a nurse. Then down in the middle!
And now he is making full use of his early retirement. Since winning the lottery, Jack's life has been like one big holiday.
After golf, you look at the shops. Buffalo is located in the western part of New York State.
It has a fair share of office buildings and buildings, but according to American standards, this is a typical city with a population of about 300,000.
It is one of the oldest ports in the eastern US and prides itself on its industrial past. Jack has lived here all his life, like some of his old friends.
This afternoon, he will exchange his bank card with Joey. What's up friend? Let's go do it! Jack goes to buy himself a new car. Are you happy?
I'm happy, yes! Joey has been through a lot with Jack, especially during his tumultuous professional career. First, she was a nurse, and then she moved on to the stock market before losing everything.
With her life-saving work, she was not so much fun! She was so sweet but so unpleasant now! Why? Now he has more time to do fun things, and he has less stress, right? Yes! Well, I used to get rich before, when I was trading stocks where I liked it, and when I was poor, they said they didn't want to meet me anymore! I had to move home for a year ... They used to make fun of me.
Now Jack earns $ 10,000 a month for doing nothing at all. Today she picks up her new toy. $ 50,000 modern SUV. For the winner of the lottery ... the temptation is not far off.
That's really fun. Is that new? Yes. It's only $ 60,000, not much. Maybe my next one! The former nurse has no regrets at all, and would not have been able to afford this type of car before. It's fast, it's fast, I love it!
It is 3pm, mid-week. And the retired young man seems to have many friends. Yes, everyone is here ... Jack's awards have made it possible for him to travel to a peaceful urban area ... quiet everywhere except for Jack's place.
Just look at them saying there is a madman driving this car, the parking is fun but I don't know who that is!
We will park here for now. He bought this spacious house
and as you will see, it was a central party in the area. But her friends never came to enjoy these bachelor's indoor golf medals and golf trophies.
What brings Jack's friends, and most importantly his female friends, is found behind this door. What's going on back here? Every afternoon, even when he’s not there, his yard becomes a kind of Spring Break scene.
The youths are not even waiting for her to return home before the event begins. What about Corey, how is Laura? How is Juliana? How are you?
What happened to Leigh? Jack is a party veteran and knows all about Buffalo bars. Thanks to his lottery win, his house is now a place he should be.
It is a place open to all women, even if none of them is his girlfriend.
