Her website... she should be made aware that on the 'Press' page under the Parade: The $112 Million Dollar Woman article piece she has the line What would you do if you won the logger? instead of lottery .

I always thought of how weird it would be to run into her somewhere. I've seen celebrities numerous times, but how often do you get to randomly come across a MegaMillions or Powerball jackpot winner

Love is blind.

I married that homely woman there that one time outta true love.

Her daddy's chain of liquor stores had nothing to do with it.

Sometimes I wish the marriage hadda lasted a little longer though.

The big bottle o' Jack is dam near $50 now.

she will make all she can from people, even though she won on a quick pick, i guess you can say anything you want when you win anything to sell more stories.

like if some one won when they ask them wow how did you win?

well let me tell you i dream of some numbers i had a vision

maybe your phone will ring off the hook

for people wanting you to have a vision or read into their dreams: $5.00 per call

lol lol OMG....It is blank now...I bet she will be selling some sort of lottery type books to rip people off. I do commend her for donating all the money she does but it seems to be motivated by a fame wish. I would set up a charitable foundation and donate money quietly so no one knew who was funding it.

She is definitely out to make herself a celebrity brand which makes me wonder how much $ she has left. It wasn't like she won a few million and needed to expand her money a bit to take care of all those children. Her website says it all and she has a shop coming soon. I think she is just greedy. By the way, she won the California lottery.

Saw Cynthia's boyfriend Lanre ldewu, who may still be her fianc or husband now, on selling LA last week where he claimed to have won the lottery, the broker Valarie kept on referring to him as a huge lottery winner, lanre spoke about going from earning peanuts to now being able to afford to rent properties over $25,000 per month, Cynthia was not with him and it was strange when he said he was looking for a house he could not only live in but to use as a business base, in the end he signed the ag...

There are several skinny cameras on the market that actually remove 10-30 pounds.

One of the more popular models is called the Anorexic Abdominizer by Cannon.

LOL that girl had stalker characteristics....You remember he said that they would break -up and she would seek him out then he finally decided to go into the Navy after 9/11 and she couldn't get to him so she wanted to win the lottery to get him out and when she won she had called all over that naval base trying to find him and left all kinds of messages...I hope they are happy and they seemed to be on the show but I'll bet that relationship is intense...to say the least....

I am what some would call a minority of a group that voted in a majority way for the man who cannot cut spending. I used to root for other minorities to win whenever I realized it was not me holding the winning ticket. However, now I a hope whoever wins is someone or some pool that did not vote for the man in WH until 2016. And for the record, I never voted for him because I heard what he was saying and did not like what I was hearing. It wouldn't surprise me if he proposes a special you didn't... [ More ]

For the most part the program is pretty entertaining and informative, but it seems for every one jp winner that keeps their head on straight there are a dozen who just have to buy a fleet of cars, multiple houses, etc....

The smartest person that they've ever had on was a very young guy whose wife wanted him to get out of the Navy. He won the lottery and he did. He said when he was a Jaguar or other expensive car he'd look at it and think he could buy one - but he wasn't going to.... [ More ]

There have been several minorities who have won lottery jackpots. They may not appear on the show but they are winning jackpot.

These people who do this type of Shows is Exposing themselves to many people who may want to Harm , Con or Even Murder and etc. them and their faimily .

Friends and Family turn on you when you have Excessive amounts of money !!! They believe and think you owe them apart of the Winnings

There is that Cynthia (?) woman who thinks she is a hollywood producer. The show had her debating on a huge diamond purchase. I thought the money went to her head. I see a lot of minorities win the 2nd place PB and MM prizes as well.

If I remember right, thats the guy who someone burned down his auto repair shop,

In new mexico I think.

I was curious to see few minorities winning the big jackpots. I remember that african-american youth from Florida who got murdered for his $$$$. Besides that I don't remember seeing anyone else of color. I read about the Latino who got cheated from his scratch-off winnings by Pak/Indo retailers. I'm just wondering if those quick-picks are not so random after all.

I'm neutral about it. I'll bet though that the day after the marathon there is an uptick in lottery sales countrywide. MA lottery had earth-shattering sales revenues of $4,700,000,000 and nearly $1,000,000,000 in profits in 2011. Not bad for selling hope, wouldn't you agree? o_O

if you get the chance, you should watch the 2010 documentary, Lucky. I think it gives a balanced view showing the benefits and pitfalls of winning the lottery.

Hi everyone,

Just curious what people think of the TLC show The Lottery Changed my life ? I was watching a marathon of their shows over the weekend. Whenever I watch this show I always get excited about the chance of winning someday after watching these shows. It makes me hang onto hope that some people who have been playing for years could end up winning a jackpot. I tend to be a bit more upbeat after seeing and hearing the wonderful stories of jackpot winners. I tend to forget about the fac... [ More ]
