You''d think, that CBS news has an agenda. And we''d be right!
Who cares what they live in. All I know, they won''t be for long,, if they choose.
Good for them!!! Wished it was me,,but not jealous either. - Reply to this comment
- Anyone that has EVER taken a DECENT STATISTICS class that addresses GAMBLING is aware that the HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.
They do it by setting the odds to INSURE a percentage no matter WHO wins or loses - the house could care less WHO. The only thing that matters with "the house" is ENCOURAGING MORE FOOLS to PAY THEIR PERCENTAGE!
Sadly, ODDS ARE that many more of those BROKE "trailer dwellers" will overlook their recent "consumer reluctance" and rush out to buy lottery tickets in HOPE that they too can become rich.
The lottery is NOTHING more than a RECESSIVE TRICK to get PRIVATE INVESTORS and GOVERNMENT MONEY without the "hassle" of taxes from the most gullible and economically foolish in this nation.
This article is nothing more that a slickly crafted ADVERTISEMENT to that gullible group.
Next up, "Homeless VET WINS!!".
We''ve ALREADY had a spate of "poor cashier stuck with ticket wins" etc. stories.
Keep your money, feed and take care of your kids, LEARN about LESS RISKY ways to "invest" your hard earned cash - it''ll lead to a much happier life. - Reply to this comment
- At a low, easy to find, fixed rate investment, that''s a good few million $$$ a year after taxes forever, more if they only take a couple million and rollover the additional. Invest globaly, stay fixed, and watch for the sharks. Also, employ your family rather than give them money, and tieup as much of your money as possible so that it is inaccessible from the parasites.

- First and foremost they need to get an unlisted phone number and a good business manager because they will need expert financial advice. Friends, relations, and strangers will be coming out of the woodwork begging for money and asking them to invest.

- What does their living in a trailer have to do with anything? Would the headline have been the same if an extremely financially successful person or mid-income suburbanite had won? Your headline writer should be taken to task. A man is not defined on the inside by the edifice he dwells in. Shame on you! And by the way...yes, I do live in a manufactured home. I sold my home in the city and moved to the country to build. In the meantime, I am living in a manufactured home (TRAILER) that is nicer than the very nice home I previously lived in.

- It''s always entertaining to see these guys blow their money within a year. I hear the whole town is excited... they should be. They will probably get a lot of it out of these fools...

- [1. DON''''T PUBLICIZE YOURSELF!!!
2. Hire a lawyer, financial adviser, and a tax professional.
3. DON''''T PUBLICIZE YOURSELF!!!
4. Put the money in liquid, interest bearing accounts within the first 24 hours for the short term until an investment strategy is developed.]

i''ve actually seen an investment advisor who specializes in large windfalls say that you should have a trust set up and have the trust as the recipient of the winnings ... and somehow they can abstract the recipients of the trust. not sure if this is true or not ... but they will now be deluged w/ soliciations from everywhere for contributions and other financial assistance. - Reply to this comment
- I agree the headline is biased, if a wealthy millionaire won would the headline read ''mansion dweller''?

- Who is your headline writer? It makes these folks sounds like vermin! But I do agree with the comment that these lucky folks should pay back their bankruptcy - that would be the right thing to do!

- marcpcbs you cant be that ignorant.
There has not been a 10% interest bearing account available in over 20 years anywhere. The best they can hope for is 6% in a Money Market fund even the banks do not go over 6%. What country do you live in? LOL - Reply to this comment
