0:00 my first thing I would do if I had 20 million and I was thinking about JK is I would honestly just think of what would be the funniest thing to spite Steve no what you should do is you should pump his coin and rug pull [Music] it all right so let's talk about some good luck anybody feeling lucky not really Chinese kind of luck not after Max Hollow got knocked out but go ahead that sounds painful um we're talking about a North Carolina oh who found $20 on the ground covering poop sometimes they do that no it wasn't covered in poop um and uh he found it right outside of a convenience store so he conveniently decided to go inside buy a lottery ticket buy a $25 winning scratch off this is Uncle Sam oh he had

0:51 $20 underneath my shoe he wins a million dollar dude this ising Uncle Sam story what a guy did he bought a f restaurant a I bet he got jacked right before he probably got jacked he goes I have no money I know damn so this guy is Jerry Hicks of Banner Elk North Carolina he told the State Education Lottery that he used the $20 he found outside the Speedway convenience store in Boon North Carolina to buy an extreme cash scratch off car because the type of lot ticket he usually buys wasn't available oh lot of luck everything just worked perfectly lined up he said he planned to use the winnings to retire after working for 56 years as a carpenter as well as to help his children he also had more immediate

1:41 plans of going to going ahead straight to Golden Corral and eating everything they've got you know you know this money is going to last him a long time he's very levelheaded and grounded that's dope went to Golden Corral how old is the dude uh well he was working for 56 years car so sounds like he's about to retire when you were telling the story I was hoping you would say he was going to get like a BBL or something or like some crazy Plastic Surgery Golden Corral is not hype enough for you no it's fire it's dope I love I love golden shmp I'm going to go to Golden Corral and eat everything there and I'm like it's a buffet right yeah I'm going go to you can already do that so it's still the same price yeah yeah he goes this time I ain't going cheap and it's like it's just one price he's like I'll take a soda I love when people have like humble things they going to do with their money like that that's cool he decided what if he thought that he had to pay extra for the other things so he just kept going

2:32 to the salad bar he's been eating all the cart this whole time he's like you know they only let you do one option so I only get the pork chops and then they're like nah dude this is all you can eat like bro why you always eat one thing and leave he opted to take the lump sum payment of 600 Grand rather than receiving the prize of an annuity of 50 Grand over 20 years after state and federal tax withholdings his take- home winnings amount to $429,000 damn what the ████ that's wack a million 600400 the tax is insane from the lotto dude 429 but I thought that's why the lotto became a thing is to collect the tax that's the whole point so like someone but don't they already collect it on each purchase so it's like if if like we all buy a $10 lotto ticket it's not like $60 in the pot isn't it already

3:22 like $30 in the pot is it taxed I don't know because I thought it's like no no I mean I thought it was like basically like a 50/50 with the state after the before tax still after I don't know I thought it was to pull the money well originally the idea of the lotto was to pull the money for the education system yeah that's the original one cuz that's where it goes if it's unclaimed yeah if it's not claimed it just keeps going higher and higher and higher and then once it gets paid out then it takes the revenue I got to play for scratchers man apparently the lottery currently purchases government securities to secure the future payments of your prize together the principal and interest earned by these bonds over a specified time make up the full amount of the prize in effect each year a portion of the Securities mature and make up the year's payment so they're profiting off a bit in the long run it just goes it just feels crazy when it's a million and like you know when you win a million

4:13 your imagination's here right you're like okay I'm going to get this and then but you really get 400 so you're like oh so they're like double taxing it are they double taxing it cuz like well that's the whole point though right cuz it can give you you can get your whole million at $50,000 over 20 years but if you you even pull that 50,000 you're still paying taxes on that 50,000 yeah or you could take the one lump Su everyone mean it's always take the lump Su always take the lump Su cuz you're like a million ████ you buy a house in California and you get 400 like ████ I got to move out of state again son of a ████ always like scares me because you know how like uh if you don't do the lump summon say you do the payments over like 25 years or whatever and like they're going to send an assassin you can't transfer the pay to anybody else it just ends well even more than that in 20 years $50,000 is going to be like get

5:03 a cup of coffee damn dude Wow real faith in your country American right but you're always going to be losing power on that money over a long period of time so but a lot of the times you know this is a curse for people that can't handle money like it just comes out of nowhere well they said that ruins your family too sometimes this guy seems chill though yeah I like and he's older you know yeah and you got children so you you know where you want to park and you're like old old so like you're like ████ it dude didn't that young dude who won like a almost like a billion he moved to San Marino nearly 2 billion I think and his ████ girlfriend is super fine yeah he got like a fine ass girl after afterwards and he bought his he buys family Like Houses like was it like pasaden or something or I think I think it's Pasad what you like the Mega Millions or something what did he win

5:53 you want like it was like a $2 billion he got he got in California yeah I mean obviously that means he only got like 900 something million probably only got 50 gr or something California I don't even know if I can like handle 900 million overnight test me can you handle 900 million overnight hey but on the on the real though do you do you honestly believe that if you suddenly won like that much money do you think you would keep all your friends do you think some of them would change I Lose Friends regardless of my money like they say they say like on average people stay in your life for maybe 7 years if people are still really good friends with you after seven they're probably going to be lifelong good friends like if if I got lifelong friends I'll give them some money hey you know what I would do if if I won the

6:44 lotto I'd be like Bart what do I do with this money me I bet he would come up with a good plan for me Golden Corral baby but you got to go to like the South for it cuz the ones here California Golden Corral is no good dude remember HomeTown Buffet that was that's what I would do with 900 mil I I would bring back HomeTown Buffet dud consult Joe with your money Joe's like we're bringing back HomeTown Buffet we're buying scissors and we're the rest of the money goes right back into lotto tickets imagine no Mr Beast would do it yeah but then unlimited garlic toast dude cheese toast that's what you do yeah from Sizzlers just just every day hey if you want the lot what would you do for linhard Jiu-Jitsu honest question probably make it smaller honestly probably build a wall in the
