If anyone deserved to win the lottery, it's this humble, thankful man. I hope he gets counseling so that winning doesn't wreck his and his family's lives. I've heard horror stories about what happens to people after winning huge amounts of money.

This puts happy tears in my eyes though I seldomly tear up. It's alleviating to know someone so deserving getting as huge a blessing as such! I hope he and his loved ones are safe and that he heals. 🌸💜🌸

Lawmakers need to protect winners' identities. The lottery commissions should do what the officials in the UK do

I'm so glad that I decided not to buy a lottery ticket this time so this very deserving man could have the chance to win

Omigosh, I'm moved to tears by his very authentic and humble speech. Life's twists & turns. I hope the money helps him. This might be the one lottery winner who doesn't end up broke and suicidal.
