 I found this:  Holly Lahti Lottery winner tell-all interview

 or: www.oregonlive.com/.../Idaho_woman_who_won_mega_millions_html

 Holly shared a Mega Millions jackpot on Jan. 11, 2011 with Jim and Carolyn McCullar of Ephrata, Washington. Jim and Carolyn's interview is one of the best. Holly has moved from Idaho to California. 

I hope all of you are enjoying this three day weekend. Memorial Day remembrance.

 It appears that the first showing of TLCML on Saturday morning will begin at 3 a.m. on TLC "The Learning Channel  I am here on the West Coast in the PST.  Please check your own guides for the exact times. I will post this update on Lottery Post's Forum "Lottery Discussion".

 It could mean an early wake-up call for the fans of TLCML.

 You live in a home. All four walls face South. What color is the bear?

Answer: White. You are on the North Pole and only Polar Bears are there.

 HGTV is now showing a marathon of My Lottery Dream Home. The schedule is on the Lottery Discussion Forum on Page 2.

Tonight Friday, April 7, HGTV will air Your Lottery Dream Home from 8 pm - 10 pm Pacific Standard Time

 Also at midnight - 1 am, and 3 am- 4 am.

 The HGTV Marathon of Your Lottery Dream Home will be on tomorrow Saturday, April 8, from noon - 8 pm PST. 

 I just also looked at TLC and did not find any TLCML shows up to Thursday, April 20, sorry.

 I find these schedules at www.tlc.com/schedule  and www.hgtv.com/shows/tv-schedule 

 I have a post on the Discussion Forum with the schedule.

 I just read the California's, Winner's Handbook. In the General Questions page, it is written, That it will take up to 12 weeks from the claim date for the check to get to you. Three whole months! Unbelievable. 

www.calottery.com click on the win tab. Look to the left side of the page and find Winner's handbook.

Friday, March 17, My Lottery Dream Home on HGTV will air at 8 pm till 10 pm PST.

I hope that multi-millionaires are featured. I might do this when I win.

 Will Todd post his Top 25 list? Power Ball is at #19 now with the Annuity at $349 million and Lump Sum at $213million. I enjoy reading the list and remembering the past winners.

With Power Ball's annuity prize of $100,000,000.00,  we should see a rise in the number of players. 

A lot of pools begin playing at the $100 million mark. I am happy to see it reach this level.

 Today at 4 pm. Tuesday 22, 2016 at 4 pm PST on NBC. Dr. Phil will show part two of a story about a man being scammed. Dr. Phil will most likely review part one in the beginning of today's show.

 I am convinced that this victim is mentally ill. 

 We all have to be alert to scams from Nigeria, Jamaica, Canada, and the rest of the world. 

"If you have to pay to collect a lottery win than it is a scam".

 I just heard a story about a nineteen-year-old young man. He won $1.4 million playing slots. He blew it all soon afterward. He gambled it away, drank it, and partied till it was gone.

 He was set for life and he blew this opportunity. He was poor before the win and returned there soon afterward.

 I do not follow the Kardashian family closely. Was it Kim who lost her million dollar ring by theft? Because she put it out there on a social site.

 Future Lottery winners beware. If you become a public figure worth many millions of dollars you will have a target on your back. Say NO to the Press Availability and the Grip and Grin photo shoot.  Once your photo and interview are  in cyber space there is no looking back. You cannot change your mind. 

You might say to yourself, "It would be a fun interview and photo shoot".  You will regret it till all your winnings are gone. 

 Keep the wonderful news about your win a secret for as long as possible.

 Hire Executive Protection specialists. 

 If Ms. Kardashian got advice before the theft then she did not follow it. I am happy that she did not get physically injured during the crime.

 I hate it when others make suggestions about how a lottery winner should spend their winnings.

 Besides the Government taking your money at gun point and spending it as they please, I do not want any others thinking along that way.

 It is freedom of speech but I have the freedom to say NO.

 It is almost a given that Lottery winners are asked to give to Charity. If the charity is honest and trustworthy then it will still be there in another year. It can wait.

 Lottery winners must keep a business like manner. If you cannot say NO then hire a financial adviser who can. Be consistent with your daily transactions. 

  That is my two cents!

 I have just learned to keep all gifts to family and friends a surprise. Just as I will be surprised when I win than my family will be surprised by the gifts I give to them. I will not promise anyone a gift before I win.

  Unfulfilled promises and pledges do not end well for both the winner and the family member or friend. 

Do you want to know why Adolf Hitler invaded Poland? There was this Lottery game that both the Fuehrer and a Polish man played. Hitler lost and the Pole won. This really upset the Dictator of Germany so he took revenge on the entire nation of Poland on September 1, 1939 and invaded his peaceful nation which started World War II. 

 This event changed the World and led the USA to play a more important part in the World ever since.
