A big fan of cinema, Tim has put some of his winners in organizing festivals and producing his own cartoon films - all of which are successful.
He decided to go online to prevent other lottery winners from making the same mistakes they did. His YouTube channel gives the winners a platform to share their stories,
either positive or negative.
This is the first lottery winner I will talk to in person, so this will be fun. Today you meet Denice, who lives in a suburb of Manteca, California. Hi Denice. How are you? This is a beautiful home Thank you!
She saw Denice at a housing lottery show, where she won $ 785,000. Are you ready for this? She now lives in this beautiful villa with two of her eight children.
Before the great victory, he had three jobs and had recently lost his home. She lives here, she lives here, my granddaughter lives here, her mother and her sister here. Like I said hotel, motel, holiday accommodation!
For all my daughters really. Because if their men are gay they can always come home.
That's why! A loving mother did not spend her money on a luxurious ocean voyage or a pickup truck.
He invested everything in the house to provide a home for his family and to retire. You want to send a message to Tim's channel. if you can just sit down so I can focus on you. If you win the lottery, you need to learn how to resist temptation.
Many people when I won the lottery were like: why did you not go? Why not spend your money to the full?
Everything is fine and good but at the end of the day, what do you have? When are you done with your holidays? Tim received hundreds of letters from strangers asking for money.
Winners also need to learn to say no - even to friends and family.It was one of the most important lessons I had to learn,
especially to people I love.
If I gave everyone what they wanted, I would be breaking it. Harris in Nebraska has so far managed to avoid those pitfalls that many ignorant winners have become victims of. They quickly learned to manage $ 62 million.
Driving their meat truck with a golf cart, the couple heads for the latest big investment. An hour from their luxury home, they have bought a 400-hectare property, forests, and lakes, in the middle of the Nebraska agricultural land.
Harris is the new king of the Otoe region. All right, here we go. Nevertheless, David's vast inheritance.
When asked if she enjoys the farm, Erica says: No! It's so dirty! David is now involved in agriculture. Are you okay? You will lease some lands to local farmers and make a percentage of their profits.
Turks! The rest is his. A 300-hectare private hunting and fishing area, David's dream is coming true - albeit not so much for Erica. Not so good right now. It is not the right time of year. This, in all, was a total of $ 2.5 million.
You can't go wrong with owning land, as long as you take care of it, that is a very big thing. Erica does not see the point of this huge investment. Although they are millionaires, they are still trying to remember the value of money.
You should always be aware of what you use because it goes fast! No matter how big or small your budget is, you need to make a budget. And their monthly budget? About 25 grand per month. So who spends the most money?
That! He buys big things, cars, trucks, so my small $ 20 purchase compared to his $ 30,000 car ... Erica is very cautious. But a couple can easily live like royalty.
The interest earned on their fortune earns them $ 500,000 a year. The boy and his toys! David could have gone home all day, but that was not his style. For us, in our age, when we are young and retiring, you still have to do something you can't just sit on. Of course, you can!
I do it every day! David likes to enjoy his newly acquired vacation time. Before the lottery, he did not have time to see his family between two jobs.
But since his victory, he has been able to fulfill his childhood dream and become a volunteer firefighter.
It is a commitment that enables him to keep his feet down. It is good to be recognized as such, in addition to being a lottery winner.
The lottery was one quick moment but I am still the same person. I try to be honest with myself, so I try to do that by serving the community.
Now Dave can still pick up the type of truck some boys dream of. There they are! He will take it out near Gretna for a national holiday.
Every 4 July, local people pay their taxes to firefighters who patrol the city voluntarily. You must always have a reason or purpose.
You should have something to get out of bed in the morning. It took me 40 years to figure out who I was, and I can't change now! Since winning, she has donated nearly $ 150,000 to charities.
He has been a great benefactor to Gretna. It is part of the recipe for winning his lottery. Thank you for what you are, not what you have.
Over in Buffalo, Jack does not think much of himself. He prefers to spend his money to the fullest now. Captain Cany in the house!
The life of a young and wealthy retiree. What's going on, gentlemen? Many nights you will find him having parties with friends and their girlfriends.
Living our best life! Hello! Thanks to his winning the lottery, Jack can enjoy all-day parties like this. while some Americans continue to dream of hitting the jackpot.
