I am jealous with the winner and pity him/her at the same time. Jealous because from all the bad things I have done and heart aches I have given to my parents and closest to me. This is the only thing which I could offer to them as a sign of peace offering that I am a great person now. Not only outside but inside as well. And help the less fortunate. I never experience sharing what I am to others because what I have is only limited. But If I have this kind of such amount. I have the ability to share it to them unconditionally and feeling of help others. They said it really makes you inspire and do good. I pity him/her because having this kind of amount really makes the bad people comes around and do bad things to them like kidnapping and etc

hello syoti20! you're not the only one feeling that way. I think many people are jealous of the winner and at the same time feels pity for that person. We know for a fact that people are getting killed for much lesser amounts than P741 Million! whatever the reason that person won solo that huge amount, he was definitely super lucky. Maybe he won for a reason, a reason that only the Supreme Being knows about. Definitely, it would not be best for us to pine for what is not ours but it is just natural for us to feel some jealousy sometimes just thinking about that big winning. It could make us do a lot for our family and for all those who need our help. That is if we are the giving kind, lol. But to tell you the truth, i don't really want to win big amounts such as that. It makes me feel scared just even thinking about it. i don't want to live my life in constant fear. always looking over your shoulder whilst someone is following you, ready to kidnap or kill you for that money, lol. I would rather live simply but at peace with myself and with the world around me.

syoti jealousy is not so good and just ea ts at you. Yes a lot of us get those feelings too learning someone else has won all that money and wishing it was you and feeling all that you cou do to help others if you won it. but it is wise to let that go and be glad for the other person and only wish that he would spend it wisely and help others all he could.Jealousy and envy only corrode ones soul so let them go.

Jealousy is good somehow. Its motivates or inspires us to improve ourselves.

Everyone of us wants to win that kind of amount, that huge amount, however, it has a reason why he/she won. Maybe he/she have a good heart. He/she is just hiding because maybe he/she is afraid for his/her safety and also for his/her family. or Maybe he/she wants to hide this winning for himself/herself alone, he/she do not want anyone from his/her family to know about it. I also felt envy that person, i also wanted to win because i already have plan of what I am going to do with the money. Maybe it is not my time to win, or i am not destined to win. I hope you just pray for his/her safety as well as that person's family and hoping he/she have a good heart to help other people who are more in need.

haha =D U should be glad that u are not him/her because it's very stressful. With the winnings, that would have made him/her a public figure and how he spends his money is being watched closely by many others. He/she has got no freedom at all. IF he/she were to splurge on parents, some jealous people would rather he use it on the unfortunate.. haha =D Though kidnapping and robbery is a main concern too, but with the money he/she has, he/she can afford to install some form of security.. haha

Why would you be jealous of somebody who now has a target on them? Winning the lotto would not be a bad thing but you would be responsible for the money that you won. If you just save your money and live a simple life you will get more rewards than some huge lump of money. I think that the lottery was created to exploit the poor.

Well I think just be happy for the winner that he is given the opportunity to change his life and is given the great privilege also of helping other people by hsaring his winnings. I think we should now let go of this jealousy since it would not help us move on with out lives. The money is not yours and maybe God has other purpose for you to make amends for your parents other than just using money to make peace with them. I think there are many good ways where you can do that other than money itself.

It really hurts when you really want to help others but are unable to do so because of financial restraints. That is why I like when someone inherits a lot of money and is able to help others. The trouble is that often their past goes against them or someone who is a close relative and blows money mars that person who won or got that money ion that people assume he has the same character. And there is guilt that the evil may use to get money from him or her. I hope that the man who won all this money gets good financial advise, and that he invests most of the money so that no evil person can take it away and if he has heirs, they inherit the money when he passes. That way, no one except him and the financial adviser, including his lawyer can decide where the money goes.

It is such a huge amount of money. That's why the backlash on Tim Yap when he announced over tweeter the name of the "supposed" winner which turned out to be wrong was so strong. Having such an amount at your disposal could bring out the best in you, but it could also bring out the worse in you. There is always a next time right? Work hard. Do your job properly and be an asset to your company and you ill get to where you should be soon.

syoti dont be sad anymore^^ im sure that maybe you can win next time. keep playing and maybe someday you are the winner. if you trust that you can win that can happen. besides you say you would do good with the money right? so good people will win the prize right? so why not you?^^ just trust in that and dont cry. im sure that even without that lot of money you can be happy and make people around you happy bcs you are a sweet person^^ and that matters much more than a lot of money. about bad people if they are careful about the money nothing bad will happen to them dont worry^^

Being jealous is just normal on a person but having this can really makes one life miserable:) Practicing jealousy leads to killing other people:)[sometimes] So its normal but not a good attitude to have. And for the winner i congratulate him/her:) Nothing will happen to that person if he/she know`s how to share his/her blessings:)

I too, feel the same. It would be nicer if it's won by multiple people... well, that's luck. I wish the winner will think of good ways how to use that big amount. He/she still has a year to count to claim his prize.
