I am SO glad it went to someone humble and someone who really needs it. Seems like he has a good soul. God bless him and his family!

Between 422 million and nothing, I’d take the 422 million any day. Is there a person that would be so deserving, giving praise to God right away? He’s truly blessed in spite of his afflictions and maybe he can now be a blessing for others as well

[ShaneB-evko]

Nice good for him and his family. Seems like a down to earth worthy person for the blessing.

😂😂😂and the biggest winers are the IRS and the powerball who took more than half of his money.

So happy for him, I hope that he will get the best cancer treatment and gets to enjoy his money.

It didn't take 3 weeks to come up with 400k. Lottery just wanted to collect interest on the full 1.4b for 3 weeks before sending it out.

[Herbie]

$422 million? Just who gets the remaining? That's robbery!
