Anonymity might not last for billion-dollar jackpot winner
By Kate Northrop
The winner of the $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot is suing the mother of his child for allegedly telling his family about the lottery win.
An anonymous Maine man who won the $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot is accusing the mother of his child of blabbing about his win and is taking legal action in retaliation.
In February, one lucky winner stepped forward to claim the then-fourth-largest lottery jackpot in history (it is currently the sixth-largest) from the Mega Millions drawing on Jan., 13, 2023. He opted for the one-time lump sum payment of $723.56 million and would have received just over $404 million after taxes.
Since he had the option of claiming the winnings under a trust to keep his identity hidden, it was fairly certain that we would never know who he is.
However, that might very well change. Now, he's accusing the mother of his child of letting news of the win slip to his own parents, and depending on how tightly their lips are sealed, it remains to be seen whether the game of telephone has taken off in full swing.
Named only as "John Doe" in the lawsuit, which was filed on Tuesday, he is seeking damages from the woman, known as "Sara Smith," for revealing the win and potentially jeopardizing his public identity and safety.
On Feb. 8, two weeks before he claimed the prize, "Sara" signed an NDA saying that she must keep the jackpot win a secret until their daughter comes of age on June 1, 2032 to "avoid irreparable harm of allowing the media or the public in general to discover" his identity, physical location, assets, and their daughter. In exchange, "John" agreed to provide her with support and ongoing security resources.
Documents state that a breach of the NDA would entitle "John" to "legal and equitable relief... without the requirement or necessity of proving actual damages." This could include monetary damages and the cost of attorney fees and expenses accrued by "John" following a breach.
Should "Sara" violate the NDA, whether by accident or deliberately, her contract required that she disclose the breach to "John." She did not divulge the violation to him after allegedly revealing the win to his father and stepmother over the phone. His sister then discovered the news through the grapevine, and it's possible more people know.
Documents say that the unauthorized disclosure of the news resulted in "John" suffering "irreparable injury," and that "there is immediate and imminent danger that 'John Doe' will continue to suffer irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law."
The winner's lawsuit demands that she reveal every single person she's told and that she pay a $100,000 fine for every time she broke the NDA in addition to attorney fees and court costs incurred.
"I understand why someone would want to remain anonymous with this kind of money," a representative said on behalf of the winner while claiming the prize in February. "We wish them well and hope they do good things with it."
l told you all being Anonymous will not protect you from Danger. I mentioned external threat by strangers and internal threat by family. If you go public you increase external threat true and if you go Anonymous you increase internal Threat . So the best thing really is to level your threat by not being Anonymous enjoy your life to the fullest
This is the burden of winning the lottery I guess.
And you know what, I still want to win it and so do millions of other hopefuls.
So am going to buy my PB and MM ticket.
I won't be signing any NDA with anyone - no one needs to know that I won anything.
We forge ahead with the lessons learnt - don't trust even those closest to you, lol 🤣🤣🤣

Billion Dollar Whiners Can Afford Billion Dollar Security...
Get Over It!
lol i am so co-signing that, truth. i agree,wholly, with JADE.
Good morning, afternoon #facts
funny she told, and i am going to see if he win his suit, i doubt it, but more so, she doesn't have big funds to pay the guy who "hid"it from the MAN WOMAN who gave u life. smh
Proof money cannot buy you happiness. Sounds like it went to his head.
* The question is always- why? Maybe she was hoping he would propose to her since his ship finally came in & she would be set for life. Seems there is no way back into his good graces for now- mother of his child or not.
*What's that Taylor Swift song " Bad Blood."
So they are not married or living together, I assume. So why did he tell her in the first place? He could have increased his child support without disclosing the win. Tell no one unless you are legally required to do so like a joint marital asset.
some folks are alive today, 'cause its illegal to hunt them for sport
Under his state law and the child courts he is required to disclose any increase in wealth. This then gets turned over to the courts for re evaluation of the adult support errrr...i mean the mislabeled child support. He did his due diligence by creating a NDA and still following the court increase. He has every legal right to enforce the contract and seek damages .
He had his reasons for not telling his family. All parents/siblings aren't good people. She violated her agreement. I hope he wins. Problem is she is raising his child.
Move up the northern half of that state....It's rural enough so folks won't have any interest in his activities. Or live over the border in N.H.
I assumed it was some sort of informal support and not court ordered. He could have asked the family court not to share the source of his new wealth but still disclose the amount. But by the amount, she would have figured it out.
NDAs can be tricky to enforce. If the court first outed the lottery win to her, it will complicate matters. I hope he wins. We should all appreciate his efforts here. We might get some great case law to start the ball rolling again on the anonymity issue for states.
Once a blabbermouth, always a blabbermouth.

Strange how these winners choose to be anonymous and then eventually put themselves in the spotlight after the glitter fades.
If you are that afraid of someone in your family finding out you won a big jackpot, then don't buy a ticket.
There's more to the story and she must have had a very good reason to tell only his father and step mother. She specifically did not blab to coworkers and friends like a dummy, which is a point in her favor. Why is the winner on poor terms with his father and step mother? Sounds like a dysfunctional family. I look forward to hearing her side.
His parents could be drug addicts, alcoholics or criminals. They could be nice people he just doesn't like. Doesn't matter. It's his choice of whom he wants to share the news with. Blabber mouth should have respected that.
No the money did not go to his head. He wanted to remain anonymous but his big MISTAKE was telling the mother of his child. He should have kept it a secret from her and just proved money for the child and not tell where the money was coming from. Unfortunately most people don't know how to keep their mouth closed, always spilling secrets.
So true but unfortunately I put the blame on him. As the lottery winner HE should not have told her. All he needed to do was provide money for the child and not tell the mother where the money was coming from, make up a story. There was a guy who won 22 million dollars in the lottery some years ago, to this day he STILL has the bulk of his money. When he won, he knew his wife could keep a secret so he told her. He did not ever tell his children. He said he did not tell his children because he did not want them to become "WAITERS" (waiting for him to die so they can get the money). When his mother's house needed a new roof, he paid for it. His mother than asked where did he get the money to do that and he said when his uncle passed away he left him money so he was using that. Most of already know which of our family and friends can keep secrets and which can't, if one must tell someone they won the lottery.
$`100K for each infarction? presumptuous of me to say she probably doesn't have a pot to pee in.
Cutoff Sarah. That's what I'd do. G5
You can never remain anonymous. You buy a house or a car and someone will figure it out and blab it.
I see he's not trying to get custody of the his daughter, why not? The ex is clearly out of control ....
OMG Man, she was talking to his Parents...( sarcasm).
This case may show us exactly the level of anonymity one gets with a major lottery win. I assume lottery officials must be bound by some sort of employment agreement for lottery winners. The IRS knows. But what about others who had no legal right to know? I would be furious as well. As others have mentioned, make up a story about an inheritance. Some people have no class and will ask personal financial questions. I always act concerned and ask if they are having money issues and will help them find a financial counselor. Why would you be asking me nosy financial questions unless you are having issues. Is it due to gambling or drugs or an affair on the side? They quickly go away. Lol
I agree, there is more to this story. At what point did he obtain the NDA ..... before or after he told her about the win or could it of been a blanket NDA obtained at the time of support was being negotiated? How could he of known she would sign it if he told her first. So if it was before she could not disclose it to the courts in order to ask for an increase.
In this day and age there is no true way to remain anonymous. Banks know, the Irs knows , your attorney...etc. All of which it only takes one unscrupulous person needing money to sell your name. Anyone within your circle , family and friends, can become a target for kidnap and should be notified so they can be aware of surroundings. Regardless of whether they are good or bad people it's morally wrong to not advise them that they could be in harms way.
So did the grandparents let her go places the mother was concerned about for safety reasons? Maybe the daughters safety was worth more than violating a NDA ? Wouldn't you at least want the daughter to know she has to be mindful of what she does ? Maybe she noticed the security following her ?
Hopefully there is a follow up to this story.
He shouldn't have told anyone about his lottery win. If anything, he could have just sent the mother of his child larger child support payments.
She could disclose it to the court as long as it was not a public filing and asked for the judge to review the info in camera. This process is used for sensitive or confidential info. There is always a judicial or law enforcement exception to NDAs and other private agreements.
Yes, you may be right about that. But still too much missing from the story.
How?
That's why I think sometimes moving to a new area is a good idea. Not just moving two blocks down the street.
People buy cars and houses everyday and no one pays any thought to it.
The problem is suddenly broke Joe has bought a range rover and a 1M house down the street.
It just doesn't take rocket science to figure that out.
If I win big, I will stay put for 6 months to one year, then make my move - either to one extreme end of the state or out of state. No one will know that I was broke Joe etc.
As a wise man once said, if you want a secret to be known, just tell a woman.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...revealing the win to his father and STEPMOTHER."
Therein lies the problem.
His father and stepmother are likely his enemies.
The lottery winner showed a weakness by telling his secret to his woman.
The apple don't fall far from the tree.
Like father...like son.
Actually several studies have shown that men gossip far more. They just "define" it as networking or venting or expressing an opinion.
There is a retired man in my neighborhood who makes up crazy stories about other men. When he tries to tell me the story, I ask what is his proof. He then moves on.
I don't know which feminist organizations conducted those "studies" but this isn't about "gossiping"...this is about BETRAYAL.
The baby mama "betrayed a secret", you might say.
Well, betrayal has been a characteristic that women have led in since Samson and Delilah.
Good luck with the lottery and have a nice day.
Not so sure waiting 6 months to a year is all that wise. If you are over 50 that is a lot of time to just throw away that you could be enjoying the money. Most lottery winners are on the back nine. Moving away to Bismarck or Helena might work although they would get suspicious of a stranger moving there with a lot of money.
This is about you hurling slurs and stereotyping an entire gender vs the stupidity of one person.
I have a feeling you prefer all women to be wearing burkas and not able to leave their home unaccompanied by a male.
I guess the University of California is a feminist organization. Do some research. So many men have poor research skills.
Just because 2 people gave you life doesn't mean they are good people. Dennis Rader and Gary Ridgeway gave life. Robin Row (death row in Idaho) and Lori Vallow (life without parole in Idaho) gave life and then murdered that life. Not good people who deserve to be told about a windfall.
I personally cut off my mother the last 15 years of her life because she was a horrible person.
The woman who told on this guy probably has a bunch of money that the winner gave her. She can start paying out of that, then if she owes more he can cut her support until she's paid up.
*
There's lots of good women out there, but there is also a reason you hardly get females named Delilah. Hmm, l wonder why that is 
I agree.
And Dennis Radar gives me nightmares. One of the worst psycho criminals ever.
Sorry for being off subject. Kentucky started Double Play on Powerball a week ago tomorrow.
I wrongly envisioned this as an RNG feature. Looked up the video and they have a different set of balls used for that drawing. I'm through with Powerplay for the time being.
Feminists have infiltrated and corrupted ALL American institutions, so i'm sure that there are many feminists going to U C.
As a teen, I met Christie Hefner...daughter of the late, great Hugh Hefner.
The way his women were "dressed" at the Playboy mansion was alright with me!
In that period of 6 to one year, I would be enjoying the money, just not making big money moves.
I would take the time to plot my plan and execute it perfectly.
Sometimes taking a little time is very crucial before making life altering decisions. One needs to think through alot of stuff.
I encountered one of the Hillside Stranglers (Angelo Buono) in Hollywood, back in the day.
His cousin...the other Hillside Strangler, Kenneth Bianchi, lived not far from me.
He had a suspicious grin on his face when he approached me in his car, so I knew that he was up to something.
Looking back, he probably had a woman's body in his trunk.
I've met a lot of great people and i've also encountered some of the worst ones.
As far as humans, they don't get much lower than that.
The same reason there aren't too many men named "Samson".
Which reminds me of a poem I once wrote...
Bad women are made for BAD men and good women are made for GOOD men.
The Virgin Mary was made for Joseph the Carpenter, and Bonnie Parker for Bonnie and Clyde;
Bad women are made for BAD men and good women are made for GOOD men.
Most times, women get the type of man they DESERVE...that's LIFE!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Needless to say, I was a big fan of Mother Teresa.
LIke all things men value, good women are RARE.
As a man who studied serial killers, I researched Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer.
He was a great father, by the way.
Often I hear women say that it takes a "real man" to be a good father.
Fortunately, they never crossed paths with Gary Ridgeway.
He was such a good father that his son posted an article on the internet, stating what a great father he was.
It was probably feminists who promoted the lie that it takes a "good man" to be a good father.
The truth is that a BAD man can be a good father and a GOOD man can be a deadbeat father.
There is no set rule and there are many possibilities.
Anyone else see the irony of wanting to be anonymous and then publicly suing someone you told that you won?
He has to prove in a court in a state with broad rights to access public records that his ex-wife harmed him by revealing he won a very large lottery prize to his family.
"Named only as "John Doe" in the lawsuit"
Wonder what will happen with she is asked on the witness stand if she signed an NDA with "John Doe" and she says "NO". How can he prove she violated an NDA with his real name without showing it?
In a USA article it says, his "ex-girlfriend breached an agreement" by "revealing the win to the man's father and stepmother over the phone, and the winner's sister later found out through hearsay."
The case was filed last Tuesday so it might be awhile before we learn the outcome.
* Without " Women" we wouldn't be here, but there are some real doozes out there which any women walking this green earth would turn their backs on in a blink of an eye: Dee Dee Moore, Ma Baker & Aileen Wuornos come to mind.
*Some men are just as bad but that's a topic for another day.
Charles Manson's mom was a teenage prostitute and Ted Bundy was born in a home for unwed mothers.
Bad men generally come from bad women...the apple don't fall far from the tree.
Yes, I see irony in it . As I said they always come back into the spotlight after the glitter fades.
From what I remembered of it this is a very small town of 6,000 people. How many unmarried females have a daughter that becomes on age on June 1, 2032 . It wouldn't take much to figure out who won. I wonder if the parents didn't figure it out first and then she confirmed it.
Something fishy about this whole story.
Coin Toss mentioned a discussion from several years ago about a jackpot winner using their own name suing to claim anonymously. Regardless of filing as "John Doe", how can he prove she signed a NDA with him or prove she told his dad without shown the document with his name or the name of his dad?
"Something fishy about this whole story."
What else should we expect from combining the Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages with Lottery Operations in Maine.
Again, people sue with the name of John or Jane Doe all the time. Courts take precautions here. You are not waiving any anonymity claims by suing in this manner.
In regard to another matter, it is frightening to see a post referring to unwed women with children or prostitutes as bad women and signifying they are worthless. What about the unwed male? Prostitutes often come from homes where they were abused. It is a common trait among serial killers to view certain groups of people as having no value in our society. Definitely red flags with that post.
Time for DNA testing on him and child to confirm that he is the Dad. These days you just never know...LOL!!
Who makes up these stories ?
Men and women are the same today as they've always been. The difference is that in the past men had to depend on the mother's word. Many men raised another man's kid, thinking it was theirs. The most famous being Woody Allen paying for Frank Sinatra's son (Ronan) by Mia Farrow, whereas now a woman's lies can be disproven by DNA.
The store where the ticket was purchased is a pit stop along hwy 202. It's possible that neither the winner nor his family live there. It's also a stone's throw from the border with New Hampshire. I don't think his cover was necessarily blown by filing suit with so many details about his family life.
Another famous case involved Arnold Schwarzenegger's illegitimate son with his housekeeper. She was married and her husband thought the baby was his until the boy got bigger and started looking just like Arnold.
In that case, you didn't even need the DNA.
I love how these so called "men" ignore the behavior of people like Arnold S. Fortunately Maria divorced him. It takes 2 to create a child. Nice to know lp has a solid low life quota of male lottery players. I really hope they do not have any daughters. These are the men who are feeling demasculinized and are insecure due to their own failings in life.
But always good to see the classier LP guys not throwing this demeaning attitude around. I hope one of them win big.
LOL! I LOVE women like you!
I bet you're a good artist.
So sensitive....
If it means anything, i'm the one giving your posts a thumbs up.
Concerning Arnold, like I said earlier, bad women are made for bad men and good women are made for good men.
If Maria was good, she would have forgiven her cheating husband like her grandma, Rose Kennedy, did, which explains why she and Arnold were together.
Bad women are made for bad men and good women are made for good men.
I hope one of them win big.
Thank you for wishing us well - I promise if I win big I will let y'all know about it.
I will still remain anonymous 🤣🤣
new business idea: tell people i won the lottery and convince them to sign ndas. when they tell someone, sue for damages.
i think you may have an undiagnosed cuckold fetish.
Good luck. Like to see good and normal people win.
Omg lol lol You hit the nail on the head and I missed it. His "women" look elsewhere. He will have to win a major jp to get them to stay with him. You definitely know abnormal psychology diagnoses.
Or lie about winning a lottery....get random people to sign ndas. Sue when they violate it. Lol $ for life.
LOL! One of Joe Kennedy's mistresses...1920's movie star Gloria Swanson, who went on dates with him and his wife...who knew about their affair yet always treated her nice, said of Rose Kennedy, "Either she's a saint or a better actress than me."
Rose Kennedy indeed was a saint...the personification of a good wife.
My perspective maybe different from most because it is based on the Bible.
Not many people value the wisdom in the Bible nowadays.
Those of you who know the Bible know what Jesus said about FORGIVENESS.
Being able to forgive your cheating husband is characteristic of a good wife.
"...it is frightening to see a post referring to unwed women with children or prostitutes as bad women and signifying them as worthless."
You obviously don't know the Bible but i'll tell you this...
I don't think of any human as "worthless".
God gave His commandments regarding fornicators, adulteresses, LGBTQ, etc.
The wise will obey Him.
He is the judge.
The lottery winner in this story should sue himself for being stupid.
This is another of the MANY examples of "dumb luck".
Sometimes the dumbest people win so they can destroy themselves with the money.
Winning millions is the worst thing that could happen to one devoid of intelligence.
This post said it all. After that, there is not much else to say.
That's merely your personal religious belief and opinion. Luckily most of us don't live in a theocracy and can freely divorce a cheating spouse. If you can tolerate your wife loving up the pool boy, good for you. I don't think it makes you a good or bad person either way.
Somebody watched too much Law and Order and thinks people will believe they are a Jack McCoy.
In real life John Doe not only has to prove "Sara" signed the NDA but prove she told his father and step-mother. Like I said before, Maine is a state with broad rights to access public records and the NDA will be part of the public record if and when it is entered into evidence.
Bet everyone will know his name if he doesn't withdraws the lawsuit.
how do you prove someone signed a document that's in your possession? gee, that's a tough one.
I didn't post anything about "tolerating my wife loving up the pool boy".
It's what God thinks that counts.
I was just pointing out that Maria Shriver is different from her grandmother.
If not for pressure from feminists, she may have reacted the same way.
Nowadays, if a woman tolerates her husband cheating she is labeled as "weak" and "foolish".
I mentioned Rose Kennedy because Maria inherited some of her DNA.
Should a husband cheat on his wife?
Of course not, but I believe that she should stick with him.
As of now, America has the highest divorce rate of any industrialized country.
I know it's hopeless, but I make suggestions anyway.
Exactly right DB.
The way he perverts the Bible is bizarre. Possibly a member of one of the fundamentalist Morman groups where the women are abused and have no rights. One of the scariest people on lp.
Yet he gambles so he picks what parts of the Bible suit him.
As the Chinese proverb states, "The glory of a man is knowledge, but the glory of a woman is to renounce knowledge."
I don't recall seeing the commandment, "Thou shalt not gamble".
Good luck and have a nice day!
No man is perfect but gambling isn't an UNFORGIVABLE sin like killing others.
Even though I gamble, I love the Almighty God.
Did you cheat on your ex-wife? You are oddly fixated on this topic.
If you believe Artist77, no woman ever wanted me and I am an incel. Since she thinks i'm like mass murderer, Elliot Roger, we'll just leave it at that.
The subject of cheating husbands came up when I mentioned Arnold Schwarzenegger's housekeeper cheating with him on her husband. Once she mentioned Maria Shriver, the topic just snowballed from there.
He is nuts. Even tries to blame me for his initiating posts with nasty comments about women. I think he does not have enough sense to realize one can scroll back and see his posts. King of the cuckolds. Loves to try to gaslight all of us and constantly contradicts himself. I bet $ there is a criminal history. His obsession with serial killers is odd.
Women today can learn a LOT from the lives of wise women like Rose Kennedy.
A foolish woman destroys her own home but a wise woman builds her family.
A wise man once said, "When debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser."
I see that you are into doing that.
That is the post where Artist77 lost the debate. She's been scandalizing me ever since.
Confucius say, "When fools hear the truth, they get mad; when wise men hear the truth, they learn and become wiser."
Everything that I stated in that post was the truth.
"When fools hear the truth, they get mad; when wise men hear the truth, they learn and become wiser."
That was Artist77's response upon reading the truth.
arnold, is that you? it's well known rose kennedy was depressed due to her husband's constant affairs and took lots of sedatives to deal with the stress. i'm not up on the bible, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't mention benzos and barbiturates.
You are so correct. She also wanted to divorce him but her father said no. She was a staunch Catholic and at that time it was unheard of to get divorced. Look how generations of Kennedy men turned out with their abuse of women. Fortunately there are options now for women to get out of abusive marriages. You scar a generation of children by exposing them to cruel cheating and abusive fathers. I am so glad for my parents who always treated each other as equals.
This is a weird hill to die on. Have a happy Thanksgiving in any case.
I'm not an expert on the Kennedys but Rose did the right thing, sticking by her husband. John the Baptist wasn't happy in prison and Jesus wasn't happy being crucified on the cross.
It's not always easy to do the right thing, here in the devil's world.
If you didn't know this world is ruled by the devil, then you should read 2 Corinthians 4:4 in the Bible (the King James Version).
It refers to the devil as "the god of this world".
You have a Happy Thanksgiving as well.
Have a good day.
Peace
Sorry about using the wrong word but I meant SLANDERING...not "scandalizing".
Trying to do too many things at once and used the wrong word.
Wise men understand that the devil is the god of this world.
That is why his children rule.
The children of God often have a hard time on this planet. (but they will have everlasting life in heaven)
As the Bible says, be not a friend of the world. (James 4:4)
"From what I remembered of it this is a very small town of 6,000 people. How many unmarried females have a daughter that becomes on age on June 1, 2032 . "
A lot of people are making assumptions with nothing to support them, and that's at least two of them. We know where the ticket was purchased, but none of us has a clue where any of the people live(d) or her current marital status. Since we haven't seen the NDA we also have no idea if it actually says she comes of age on any particular date. If other details in the story are accurate whoever drafted the NDA was smart enough to require damages as a simple contractual obligation without proof of actual harm. That makes me inclined to think if information released to the media references coming of age on a particular date that date is likely to be fictitious.
I expect it's also extremely likely that his attorney(s), who certainly have a better handle on it than the people here, think the risk of his identity being discovered is outweighed by the likely result of the lawsuit.
But the bad women are responsible for being bad because they were all raised by saints, right?
One of the problems with being really stupid is that you don't even know how stupid you are.
There are many different stories, my friend.
Have faith.
I honestly don't even see the point of playing the lottery unless you buy tickets in a state that allows you to remain anonymous. I actually think it is foolish to tell people you won after you went through all the trouble to remain anonymous.
From Samson to King Solomon, women have made fools of the STRONGEST and WISEST of men.
I never stated anything about how bad women are raised.
You are imagining "truth" in untruth.
"They who imagine truth in untruth and see untruth in truth, never arrive at truth, but follow vain desires.
They who know truth in truth and untruth in untruth, arrive at truth and follow true desires."---The Dhammapada
Some bad women were raised pretty good. For your convenience, I will list some for you...
The Hillsboro Heiress, Tiffany Li, was raised in the lap of luxury. She had her ex boyfriend and the father of her two daughters murdered over a custody battle. She raised $62 million to get out of jail before being found "Not Guilty".
I don't know how much she paid for that.
Pamela Smart: School teacher who in 1990, had her husband, Greg, murdered by one of her students that she was having sex with.
She was raised pretty good.
Suzane Von Richthofer: Spoiled rich girl who masterminded the murder of her parents when she was 18 years old. Being spoiled, I imagine she was raised pretty good.
Verity Beck: 43 year old teacher who murdered and dismembered her elderly parents with a chainsaw. It appears her brother turned out pretty good.
From these examples, you should see that bad women come from ALL walks of life.
Listening to the devil instead of God is the one thing they all have in common.
She told HIS PARENTS, I understand not wanting her to tell others, but wouldn't he want to take care of his parents? Even if they weren't the best?
Stepmothers aren't always the best. I was just reading about Leticia Stauch, who stabbed her 11 year old stepson 18 times, shot him in the jaw, and fractured his skull before dumping his body in a suitcase. Seven year old Kyron Hormon was last seen with his stepmother 13 years ago. He hasn't been heard from since. The tragic case of Zhara Baker...tortured and killed by her stepmother, is one of the saddest cases you'll ever hear. I can go on and on about the subject of stepmothers. The facts speak for itself. The lottery winner's stepmother likely turned his father against him because such women know how to manipulate gullible men. Quite often, foolish fathers trust their scheming women over their children.
Bad women are made for bad men and good women are made for good men.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not saying that all stepmothers are bad, but the lottery winner likely has his reasons for not trusting them.
From all your previous posts. You definitely seem to be very biased with your anti women rhetoric. It's hard to take you seriously since you seem a bit unstable. But you do have points just very cherry picked.
You call the truth "very biased", "anti women rhetoric", "a bit unstable", and "very cherry picked".
You can tell the type of person by their response upon hearing the truth.
Jesus said, "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, then turn around and attack you."
No surprise that i've been verbally attacked for telling the truth.
Down voting my posts is another way of "attacking" me for telling the truth, but I hold no grudges.
Right now i'm going to go take care of my mother, who lives in a senior citizen apartment building.
As those of you who've taken care of the elderly know, when you take care of your parent daily, there are many other people...elderly and handicapped, who from time to time, also need your assistance.
Not only do I help my own mother...I help other people's mothers when they ask me too.
As you can imagine, i've helped a lot of women and handicapped people while taking care of my parents. (I took care of my father several years ago, so it's like de' je vous)
Good luck everyone and have a nice day!
Sorry, my French isn't the best. I meant "deja vu".
I have no "hatred for women" as some of you might assume.
What I have is the love of God and a love of the truth.
To the person down voting my posts...I love you too.
none of us know anything about this family. for all we know they are space aliens in human skin suits who are not supposed to play the lottery. now he's going to get sent back to the home planet before he gets a chance to buy a lambo.
LOL! Third rock from the sun? The Coneheads?
It could be anything!
Foools have been downvoting my posts because they became angry upon hearing the truth.
When wise men hear the truth, they learn and become wiser, where fools get mad when they hear the truth.
a fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.
- bill shakespeare
i pity the fool.

I study people...all types of people, which is why I can understand why the lottery winner didn't want his "parents" to know his secret.
What I would have done in that situation is flaunt my winning lottery ticket in their faces, told them to go to HELL and kiss my BLANK BLANK BLANKETY BLANK!
Hopefully, now the lottery winner has also learned a lesson about women.
If he hasn't learned anything from his child's mother, he's a fool.
Great quotes!
Me? I know what I know and unlike fools, I also know what I don't know.
That's the difference between a fool and a wise man, you see;
As the Hindu proverb states, "The fool who knows his foolishness, is wise at least so far, but a fool who thinks himself wise, he is called a fool indeed."
The lottery winner probably loves his child's mother and revealed his secret to impress her.
He probably loves her more than she loves him.
He trusted her so much that he revealed his billion dollar secret.
Everyday, women take advantage of gullible men.

But when I see the relationship between the male and female Praying Mantis, perhaps it was meant to be.
Some men are born to be a woman's stepping stone.
Still trying to understand the reasoning behind the constant downvoting of my posts. Whoever's doing it is a strange person indeed.
What is it about my posts that makes someone stoop to such a level?
It's either anger, ignorance, hate, or immaturity.
As a mature adult, I take no interest in downvoting posts.
Especially downvoting the same poster constantly.
The mind behind one who does that must be schizophrenic and psychotic.
They obviously have a strange obsession with me.
With scant information about the winner you have concocted a very elaborate backstory about him being mistreated by women. Don't you think that's a bit odd?
When I stated, "Everyday, women take advantage of gullible men", I wasn't referring to the lottery winner but just men in general.
Since the lottery winner seems to be the type who trusts women, by telling his baby's mother his secret, it's likely that with all of his riches, some opportunistic golddigger will capture him.
One of my favorite songs by the Eagles is "Lying Eyes".
It was inspired by real life, by the way.
Scary! The person constantly downvoting my posts is likened to a cyber-stalker.
Such people are likely fatal attractions or stalkers in REAL life.
A scary person indeed!
Confucius say, "A wise man knows a thing before it is there."
Don't need much information if you know women and men.
When I was an actor in Hollywood, I had women in and out of my house, but I was young and didn't have any wisdom, you see.
I've dated actresses, models, beauty queens, dancers, singers, and all types of women.
You could say i've earned my Doctorate in "womanology".
I had to leave the entertainment business to attain some wisdom.
As an actor, there was only "sex, drugs, and rock and roll".
I was destroying myself with the fast life and wild parties.
I learned a lot about women, but I had to let it go.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I win the lottery, I might go back to Hollywood.
See some old friends, good for the soul.
But when I go back, i'll return as a man with wisdom.
No more drunk driving, wild parties, and indiscriminate sex.
do you have a wikipedia page?
I'm not giving out any more information, as there are detractors lurking, waiting for an opportunity to downvote me.
I just gave enough information so the intelligent ones among you can discern that I know about women.
As far as the fools, I couldn't care less what they think.
That explains your fascination with Arnold, Maria and Rose.
At least tell us what year your last movie was.
if we upvote you, will you spill the tea?
not to brag, but my whole family has its own wikipedia entry.
I thought you seemed familiar.
No tea to spill with delusions of grandeur. Probably worked the always broken shake machine at McDonald's.
I didn't do any movies, but an Academy Award nominated director, who I won't name, predicted that I would be a great actor. He'd seen the best and I was impressed that he believed in me, but like I stated earlier, I was too distracted by drugs, parties, and women. I spent most of my time hanging out and getting high with celebrities.
I always stated that you are talented.
Everyone's "influenced by Arnold, Maria, and Rose". They are part of American history. Thousands of Americans also study serial killers. That's why there's many books about them and crime shows on TV.
The last 2 sentences weren't directed to you personally but to anyone ignorant enough not to realize that fact, you see.
There's not much tea to spill, but I got high with some famous names that everyone has heard of.
For those who didn't survive, may they rest in peace.
"I never stated anything about how bad women are raised. "
Has anyone ever told you that one of the problems with being really stupid is that you don't even know how stupid you are ?
"Sorry, my French isn't the best. I meant "deja vu". "
Well, it is a very obscure phrase that few people know. Has anyone ever told you that one of the problems with being really stupid is that you don't even know how stupid you are ?
"I spent most of my time hanging out and getting high"
Maybe your mother was a bad woman?
"With scant information about the winner you have concocted a very elaborate backstory about him being mistreated by women. "
What a lot of people see in others is often the truth they see in the mirror.
"Maybe your mother was a bad woman?"
Maybe you're jealous that you'll never date actresses, models, ballerinas, and bathing beauties like me.
"What a lot of people see in others is often the truth that they see in the mirror."
That's what I thought when you implied that I was stupid.
You know yourself better than me.
Now that i'm home and on a computer, I can read your post clearly. I'm not good at reading and replying on a telephone.
As they say in Hollywood, "Take two!"
Everyone's "fascinated with Arnold, Maria, and Rose". They are part of American history. Thousands of Americans also study serial killers. That's why there's many books about them and crime shows on TV.
I love all the posters on this thread and wish you the best!
I hope you all win big!
Ok. Who is going to tell him that the alleged Academy Award winning director actually said that to everyone ( YOU are a star! Let's discuss it further in my hotel room). He was looking for a drug buy or to pimp him out.
And who uses terms like" bathing beauties?" Sounds like something from a 1950s movie.
Academy Award NOMINATED director.
Just thought that i'd correct that.
I'd seen him in the presence of LOTS of actors, and I never heard him say that to any of them, but they were there when he said that to me.
And what's wrong with 1950 movies???
I once met the late, great Agnes Moorehead.
She was a sweet little lady who I thought looked NOTHING like "Endora", the character she played on Bewitched.
Sometimes I watch her old movies on TCM.
Being that it's so hard to judge a person's height on television, sometimes when I watch Bewitched, I can tell the other actors heights when they stand next to Agnes Moorehead.
One lesson I learned from living in Hollywood was to not put women out of your house.
I had so many groupies that I was spoiled and took them for granted. One stormy night, I gave a female fan an ultimatum...either she wash my dishes...which were piled to the ceiling, or get out of my house. She replied, "I'm not doing nothing for a man that he can do for himself." I said, "There's the door", and she put her clothes on and left.
It was raining outside like a Friday the 13th movie. I looked for her through the window but I didn't care.
Imagine the shock I felt years later when I learned that near where I lived, lived the Hillside Strangler.
If he had gotten her, I would have never forgiven myself.
Before I left Hollywood, I saw her sitting in another star's lap, so I knew she was alright.
I lived in a nice neighborhood, so I thought it was relatively safe, but i'll never put a woman out of my house again.
I also checked to make sure that none of my female neighbors, who were friends of mine, were his victims.
Fortunately, he didn't abduct any ladies who lived nearby.
My numbers didn't fall today, but i'm happy.
Lottery Post is the greatest lottery site in the world and i'm blessed to be among such great minds, so yes, i'm happy!
So you would divorce your husband if he cheated and subject your child to a stepmother???
As a wise man once said, the child of wise parents is blessed.
I've already posted about unfortunate kids who suffered at the hands of cruel stepmothers.
If you're willing to put your child in that situation, you're doing so at a risk.
"You scar a generation of children by exposing them to cruel cheating and abusive fathers."
Complete nonsense!(some of that feminist propaganda)
By causing your kids to have a stepmother, you're putting THEIR LIVES at risk!
"Fortunately, there are options now for women to get out of abusive marriages."
Not always so "fortunate" for the kids.
As I stated earlier concerning Rose Kennedy, a foolish woman destroys her own home, but a wise woman builds her family.
According to the experts, 70 percent of all separations and divorces are initiated by women, and not for cheating or abuse, but for reasons such as, "He's no longer filling my needs" and "We've grown apart".
I'd hate to think that the thousands of children abused and murdered by their stepmothers are the result of their mothers no longer wanting to be with their fathers.
It's a shame that children suffer and die because of their mother's selfishness.
"That's merely your personal religious belief and opinion."
It's much deeper than that! Man didn't put the sun and moon in the sky, create life, or design the universe.
Only the WISEST of people can understand!
"If you can tolerate your wife loving up the pool boy, good on you."
If I had a wife and she cheated on me, I would dump her faster than yesterday's garbage!
My personal rule is that men can't get pregnant and women can't cheat.
If a fool be associated with a wise man, even all his life, he will perceive the truth as little as a spoon perceives the taste of food; if an intelligent man spend one minute only with a wise man, he will soon perceive the truth as the tongue perceives the taste of food. --- The Dhammapada
