Edit: Am I mistaken or have the winning numbers not yet been announced?

You need the winning numbers?


No, I didn't actually win, that's why Chanohk say I am going to hell fire for lying, the filthy beast of a liar I am, however I did buy the ticket and those were my numbers but like I said,'' I just wrote a silly thread wondering what people would do, or what should be done if you suddenly became wealthy.''


I do have your numbers but I should warn you, it will change your life.

Anyone who spent anytime in jail would for sure testify to this fact. You give somebody a ramen noodle soup and the next day you give somebody else a soup, the first one looks at you as if you just cut his throat. People will get this mentality so strong that after you take them in and feed them, you are somehow responsible for everything they do. They will go into your wallet after they rationalize things in their own mind in how things should be. Money does terrible things to people. I grew up extremely wealthy and I saw a lot of this with a lot of people. Our family were never happy until the day we lost all our money. It was hard at first but when you really have to struggle to make ends meet is when you are actually proud of yourself and growing up as a severely spoiled child, I didn't know what life was about till I was about 26, 27 maybe.


I was never so happy as when I worked and paid for my own car and it was a piece of crap but it was better than the Cadillacs, and cougars, and brand new cars my father bought us.


It was as if we had been asleep for years and years and we were suddenly awakened.
That can be true of some. I grew up poor and now make decent money. When I give money to someone in need I require that they tell no one. This is in harmony with Jesus' words about when giving gifts of mercy, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing. Such gifts are to be done in secret or no reward from God just man. Man has nothing to give me equal to God.

First you put it in a safety box, get a good financial lawyer you trust, and then weigh all your options.

Or you could give it all away to charity and that would last you about a year.

Your right hand is the flesh, your right eye sees the desires it sees and your right hand reaches out to take it, and it would be better if God would come and put out your right eye and wither your right hand so you will no longer see in the flesh, but in the spirit.


If you don't tell your right hand what your left is doing, it means that you are not glorifying yourself in the flesh.


If Da Vinci paints a woman where you can see her hands acting in accordance with each other, it's an evil woman, but if you see a woman Da Vinci paints where you can't see her hands, it's because she is a righteous woman and she doesn't let the right hand glorify in what she does and Da Vinci will give you her left eye.


If Da Vinci situates her in a way that her right eye is given, then it is an evil woman, and if she is facing another direction that gives you her left eye, then she is a righteous woman. Your eyes tell who you are.
