I was watching the news this morning as the lucky Florida woman finally claimed her $590 million jackpot winnings. That is truly a huge amount! She is 84 years old Gloria C. Mackenzie. She bought the winning ticket for the May 18 drawing. That draw was the largest jackpot in the lottery's history. Amazing! Her life and the life of her family will be change forever tremendously!
She bought a quick pick ticket at Publix Supermarket and according to her statement which she provided in the news, there was a guy standing in front of her on a queue but, he gave his spot for her. She lives in Zephyrhills, Florida and she will split her winnings to her son shown in the photo below. Did you know that under Florida law, the winner of the lottery cannot remain anonymous? Yep! So; if I win (hopefully in the next draw, LOL) you will know it from this blog.
Congratulations Gloria C. Mackenzie! May God bless you with good health so that you will enjoy your blessings. How about you?
IF YOU WIN THE LOTTO WITH THAT BIG AMOUNT, WHAT ARE THE THREE THINGS YOU SHOULD DO FIRST?
Here's mine: 1. Hire a lawyer 2. Hire an Accountant. 3. Make a list who to give/share the winnings.

Hey Mrs. MacKenzie, would you like to send me a Buick Enclave or Encore? Gosh! I can wish can't I? LOL Anyway, thanks for stopping by here. God bless you all. Stay out of trouble ^-^
The first thing I would do also is hire a lawyer and an accountant and then make a will STAT!!! I really should do that anyway--but have to save up for that. Yes, their lives will change-hopefully for the better--hum--maybe I would change my phone number and address as well--
ReplyDeletewell happy she won and that she finally calmed it
ReplyDeleteGood for her, hope she really enjoys it!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky she is. Most of the big winners of lottery are old aren't they? I winder if she is looking for a daughter to adopt, I will volunteer myself hahaha.. Kidding aside, good for her.
ReplyDeleteI would keep the fact that I won a secret
ReplyDeleteI would hire an attorney (set up a trust fund and my own charity), travel and settle down in another state.
