I can't moved on. Only one person won the pot money 741 Million. I keep wondering. What's the state of person before he/she won the pot money.
Is he/she a poor and beg a money to buy a lotto ticket.
Is he/she an average person who is broke, and last money he/she had was to bet in lotto.
Is he/she a person who prayed whole kindheartedly and plead to win in order to win the pot money.
Indeed life is really mysterious and full of struggles. Yet rewarding once a mission/journey is fulfilled.

You have a point there Renhard! Who knows he is someone that his company just need to be saved and winning the lottery did it. But of course we are not sure about it I just hope that he would be really know how to handle the 741 million.

It is interesting to ponder what the state of the person was prior to winning lotto.I wonder if the person will use the sum wisely for his and the benefit of those around him.As you say life is a struggle but such a reward would have mitigated the person's pain to a great extent.One should consider this as a gift from the almighty and use the money carefully without wasting it for productive purpose.

For security reasons, the identity of the winner cannot be disclosed. It also crossed into my mind how lucky the winner is to win alone with P700+ Million. What his/her life before will be more useless now. I mean, I am more bothered with his/her life after winning and getting that much much money. Yesterday, my grandmother told a story about her auntie's cousin or a relative, who have won a lottery. She said that said winner lost his sanity after because of paranoia. He got paranoid even when he hears footsteps or noises. Probably he had been thinking that everyone knows him winning the lottery and thought they will kill him or steal the money from him.
Thinking about the life of the winner now, what is it to be like? He/she may have plans where to put the money or invest it. I just hope he/she is able to manage it and never forget to share a little and thank the Lord for that chance.

Hi there! Your sharing about the lottery winner who lost his sanity was really a sad story. For sure many people envied him when he won the "jackpot" and many would call him a lucky man. But after what happened to him, I guess he ended up a poor lucky rich man. That's so tragic. Maybe he was not "emotionally" prepared to handle such wealth..or maybe he got overwhelmed by having so much wealth. In the end, he was not that lucky after all, huh?
From what I've heard lottery winners are given counseling so that they can handle their "new life" gracefully hehehe. I hope the new multi millionaire will not end up like the lottery winner who became insane. Good luck to him. hehehe. Have a good day and happy mylotting! :D

If he was poor, it wouldn't matter anymore. Lol. I guess right now he's planning on his new mansion and canvasing his brand new chevrolet or mercedes benz. One time big time for him.

syoti I have often wondered that myself. I do hope it is someone who really really needed money and can handle it carefully so it will last long into his or her children's lives. We will never know of course but I hope it is someone who really deserved to win this and not some one who already had everything he or she needs. Life in eed is mysterious.

Hello Syoti,
I don't literally care, because it's not my business to know. besides, will this person gives a damn about us when he/she is at the top? of course, this person knows he/she and entire family will never be the same again. as for me, i hope he manages it well so that he won't be poor again, unlike those other people who didn't manage their money well.

Hiya syoti,
Chances are someone even might have given him the ticket as a present so to speak. That is done a lot here we give lottery tickets as presents.
He could have been so poor also and have to beg for money.
What matters is that he is free and safe from money worries as such and I hope he lives and enjoys every minute of it.
I feel really glad when someone wins the Lottery. Good for him yes indeed.

The person who won the Jackpot would have more than enough left for him even if he gives half of the money to charity. I'm sure that that person will give to charity because not everyone is given a gift with that much amount. I hope he will remain humble and shares his blessing to the people around him.

That person may still be on the state of shock at this moment. Having won that kind of pot money on the lottery is really something. I mean that amount is very unusual. His life may also be in danger because many would like to be on his position right now. The winner may also be on the state of confusement because with the ample amount of money that he won he may have not known to where he would like to invest it first.

We all wonder this. When the lotto is won everyone needs to know. So local news stations go out and ask. Too often they end up worse off because they cannot handle money in the first place. I did watch a show recently that showed a few people who just used it to work harder for more money, earning it themselves. If I did I'd have to take my mother and father-in-law with me. But they know how to live within their means. I'd set up a trust for my sister and her husband and my husbands brother and his wife. Everyone else would hate me.

I'm not wondering about his or her life before winning, but I wish he or she will use the money wisely or for a good cause.
I never dreamed of winning it and never bought the lottery ticket.
That person hasn't claimed the money yet and I hope he or she will be safe.

Average or poor it doesn't matter, what is important is that the grand prize fell unto good deserving hands and that he will use that money for a good purpose.

In reality there is a chance you can w9in from one ticket, but your chances get higher by the more you buy. The ones who can afford to buy large quanities will have more chances. It's a game of luck really. Many middle class families do win though.

Me too. I feel bad cause only one got the jackpot. But hopefully he/she will use it wisely and hopefully he/she will use it in a good way.. I a happy for that person but I can't keep myself from feeling jealous... But knowing that the agony is now gone I felt relief as well. Congratulations to whoever you are and hopefully I get to meet you and you'll sprinkle me some of the blessings you received LOL!

I actually don't care about his/her life before but the point is the money must be in good hands that he/she can take care of it or even handle it well. If I am on that person's place maybe the first thing I would plan is to have the business especially franchising the Jollibee and Mc. Donalds. Then of course I would want to buy a condo unit that hast swimming pool then if I earned more then the next one in line would be mansion that I want.
