He shouldn’t be allowed to have won it
Why tf not
@@TheAlchemist1089 I agree. If he’s paid for his ticket, that money is his.
@@1236612 right.
I’m interested to know what the original commenter’s response is
@@TheAlchemist1089the original poster is racist, what else do you need to know
Stop hating.
Congratulations! I’m happy for him!
God bless you brotherman
Finally, a worthy billionaire
Yeah because you know every billionaire and the ethical value!judgy aren’t cha!
@@kevinbarrow5396 the very existence if billionaires is unethical, but the fact that you’d comment on a strangers post defending them when they wouldn’t care if you died is telling. Have a nice life
Huh…
As a proud American, I’m glad he won. He came to the country legally, and is now a citizen. Enjoy your new found freedom my friend. Love from philly
He’ll take it back to china
Laos isn’t China racist.
@@fictitiousnightmares it’s not about racism foo
@@robertstates6538 How is saying someone will take the money they won ‘back’ to china when they don’t even come from china, NOT racist ‘foo’? smh
I hope he doesn’t get taken advantage of. Congratulations, sir. I wish you good health!
looks.like some good doctor will also soon become a billionaire😅
news stated he gets $422 million for one lump sum, still great but the govt and other entities sure do like their cut!
@@lt4324 Well, if you knew how it worked this wouldn’t surprise you and you wouldn’t think the government just ‘took their cut’. The 1.3 billion is IF he took payments because that is what it would turn into IF it were invested. Since they can’t invest it for years on end and only give him a small percentage each year in payments, the rest of the money doesn’t even exist.
God bless him congratulations buddy 💛
He’s “American” yet he represents a different country by the way he dresses…
Tell me your an ignorant Republican without saying it why don’t ya?
What is culture for the answer.. quit looking for trouble
Pray tell, how should an American dress? Naked sitting on my daddy’s lap and kissing my brother? Get over yourself.
All the best sir. I hope you get well and enjoy your good fortune.
His love life is gonna improve immeasurably now.
Rigged. Now the hospital takes it all.
He will put most it in cancer research for sure!!! Cure himself 1st and benefit humanity
Probably got cancer from the US dumping agent Orange on him!
There’s nobody better than this guy to win. ♥️
I’m so happy he won! I hope he can buy the very best care and recover completely!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 get best doctors in USA 🇺🇸 to helps you
Im too suspicious of this government, they’re finally telling us about One, meanwhile how many Billion dollar winners have we had that all coincidentally lived in states you don’t have to come forward.. how many of us finally gave in and spent $20 or more when the news hyped it up every night when it got to a certain amount? Good for him, but I just dont believe it.
Now pay it forward till it hurts to show God you appreciate. Help others endlessly.
Beware of cancer charlatans selling “snake oil”
If he’s not an American citizen born and raised not be allowed to get that money
Naturalization exists. If he’s done that it’s legal
Congratulation from immigrant to immigrant
Wow that’s awesome
Minus 1.28bill in taxes
How come it’s always immigrants that win the lottery!lol
I’m convinced it’s rigging.
There has already been multiple incidents of rigging going on…
@@YouTubeCallsMeAntiSemitic I question it myself!I don’t hate that anyone wins it!it just always seems suspicious that it always seems to end this way!
👏🏽👏🏽❤️🔥🙏🏽
After medical bills, he’ll be lucky to have anything left.
Seems to be someone worthy of all that money who will do good with it. I hope… Never know nowadays with all the evil in society.
🙄👎. While I respect he needed the money I don’t respect prizes this large going to a single player. It’s absurd and ridiculous.
But absurdity and ridiculousness is the American standard.
Let’s hope the irs doesn’t want his money and he can use it for a good cause 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Or Become that good doctor that cures his illnesses and that of many others..
That’s not God bb, that’s the Powerball working it’s magic
