he plan, you'll lose weight. good evening, for the first time since her husband was savagely attacked by an assailant who allegedly intended to hold and harm her, house speaker nancy pelosi has spoken on camera about the ordeal. >> paul came home yesterday, that enables me to be at home with all of you. thank you, thank you, thank you for your kind words, your prayers, and your good wishes for paul. it's going to be a long haul, but he will be well, and it's just so tragic how it happened, but nonetheless, we have to be

optimistic. he's surrounded by family, so that's a wonderful thing. >> she sent out the video in a tweet which reads in part with a grateful heart i thank all who sent kind words and prayers for paul. it's a long road but he will be well. our security, our democracy, our planet, our values are on the ballot. we're in something of a unique moment in american history it seems. there's much that is familiar and normal in a midterm election, and at the same time there is so much that is not normal. normal is candidates criss-crossing their states in districts making closing arguments with control of congress for the next two years at stake. normal is big name surrogates campaigning with the interest they bring and the questions about the difference they might make. normal is having economic issues front and center with republicans focusing on high inflation hoping that will work against democrats. democrats pushing back today on new strong job numbers hoping that will give them a boost. all of that is recognizable in keeping with the normal patterns of american electoral politics. then there are the things that are not normal, armed civilians at polling places despite zero

evidence with any problems of the votes already cast. candidates refusing to say straight up they'll accept the outcome of the races. >> i can't predict what the democratss may have planned. >> that's senator ron johnson who added let's see how this plays out, which is not normal, but should be but seems is becoming the norm at least among republican candidates who are either trying to play to 2020 election deniers or are, in fact, election deniers themselves like these four republicans running in arizona to be to be the attorney general, a senator, governor and secretary of state who will oversee the 2024 election. any or all of those candidates could win on tuesday. the races are that close. which is why we begin with kim law in scotts dale. how are voters responding to closing arguments of election denying candidates in key races? >> reporter: i met a mother of four who really sort of cut through the noise. she is a small business owner as well.

she said what is her number one issue, what is really inspiring her to vote is the price of food, the price of milk. the inflation that she is seeing that is affecting what is happening to her family. to underscore that point, i took the question directly to republican nominee blake masters, and i asked him very simply, you are an election denier. what do you say to moderates? there are one-third of the registered voters here who are independents. what do you say to moderates about their concerns you are an election denier. and he very simply said he doesn't think that voters care about what he's saying about the 2020 election. what they care about is the economy as well as crime and the border. and he was at the border with the rest of the top of the republican ticket. it was a photo op, you know, planned before local and national press, and what you heard from them was that message, that it is those pocketbook issues.

they didn't talk all of them about their lives and the election, and all of them have supported the donald trump lie that the 2020 election was stolen. it was not. and even kari lake at that event continued to say that she would accept the election results here in 2022 only if they were fair and transparent, not that she will accept the election results. so anderson, they have not changed. that election lie has not gone away. they just believe that voters care less about it. >> kyung lah, appreciate it. next to georgia which held the keys to control the senate with runoffs if 2020. dianne gallagher joins us there, here at a polling place that closed not long ago in atlanta. what are the arguments for the candidates there in georgia? >> reporter: the polling places may have closed but there are still plenty of people standing in line to vote on this final day of early in-person voting in georgia. the line you can see behind me here it wraps all the way around that building as people want to

cast their ballots, be part of what looks to be potential record breaking early voting numbers. according to the secretary of state's office at least more than 2.3 million ballots already cast, which makes those closing arguments from these candidates even more crucial for the votes that are left out there. now, in the senate race that the entire nation has been watching, incumbent democrats senator raphael warnock is leaning heavily on his record, highlighting his bipartisanship while casting his opponent, republican herschel walker as a man who is not just unprepared for office, but unfit to serve. herschel walker, meanwhile, leaning heavily on his roots here in georgia and, look, his celebrity as a football player while doing everything he can to tie warnock to the biden administration, calling him a vessel for the biden administration and tying him to inflation, crime, and other social issues that rile up his

conservative base. now, look, the heavily tracked senate -- excuse me, gubernatorial race, the rematch between incumbent republican governor brian kemp and the democrat stacey abrams, something that people in georgia are paying close attention to. we're watching kemp talk about his record, talking about the pandemic, keeping businesses open and trying to cast abrams as somebody they should be afraid of. abrams, meanwhile, she, anderson, is focusing on abortion and voting rights and the talk of health care and trying to make georgia a better, more inclusive state for everyone. >> dianne gallagher, appreciate it from georgia. perspective from cnn political commentator david axelrod, and cnn's one and only, senior data reporters harry henton and abby philips. so walk us through some of the close senate races. >> we have fresh polling from three key senate races, three of which democrats may need to win to maintain control.

they may need three of three. let's start in arizona. what we have is mark kelly in a new marist college poll. well within the margin of error. no clear leader there. go to georgia the poll has a dead even race, 49-49. of course georgia there's a special rule there, you need a majority of the vote, even if you lead after all the votes are counted. if no candidate gets a majority of the votes, that means a runoff in december that could ultimately determine control of the senate. we could be heading towards a runoff. and finally in pennsylvania where john fetterman is taking on mehmet oz. we have two polls, one that shows fetterman up by six and the other has it tied. >> in arizona democrats have been pretty confident on mark kelly. that seems very, very close. where are you watching? >> look, you know, there's a certain gravity to all of this that's determined by the environment and you know, the inflation and the economy and general sense about the direction of the country are

things that you would look at when you're evaluating these races, and i think that gravity has taken hold. these races have tightened. and in arizona there's a concern the governor's race could end up because there's enthusiasm on the republican side about kari lake could end up dragging blake masters. and most people i talked to think kelly will hang on, but nobody really knows how this is going to go. >> both parties making closing arguments on the economy. where did democrats want the focus to be and where do republicans look? >> democrats very clearly want to be talking about things other than the economy. i mean, i think if they felt like they had a strong message to take to voters on that issue, that would be the focus and they know that in some of those races they have to be on the economy,

but they also want to talk to their voters about abortion. they want to talk to them about democracy issues. that's why you saw president biden out this week, you know, giving that speech on democracy, and it seems perhaps a little bit perplexing because that issue is a little bit further down. when you look at some of the polls the democratic voters it does matter a lot. they're in the phase now where it's really focused on that. republicans meanwhile are talking obviously a lot about inflation. talking about the problems with the economy and affordability, and they're also talking about issues like crime. it's interesting to see also a lot of republicans in pockets of the country bringing up some of these kind of -- these culture war issues whether it is transgender rights or critical race theory or what have you, you're seeing some of those other isolated issues popping up in individual states. again, on the republican side that is all an effort to rile up their base, get those folks out to the poll. >> harry, if democrats lose just one seat in the senate, they lose control. you look at president biden's approval numbers -- how are they going to avoid losing seats? >> look, if you go through

history, 80% of the time, the party in power loses at least one senate seat. so if democrats manage to hold on, they're really going against history. history suggests that one of these close races where even democrats might hold the slightest advantage right now may go the other way. >> the question, anderson, is can they take a seat that belonged to the republicans. that's why pennsylvania is such an important insurance policy against losing elsewhere and people are watching that race between dr. oz and fetterman. that's one where fetterman has basically clung to a lead throughout. it's narrowed quite a bit. he had a rough debate, but you know, i spoke to republicans and democrats today. no one was willing to make a prediction on that race. it's really interesting because oz is still sitting there with a very negative -- a favorable

rating. he's not well liked in that race. donald trump's going to be in the state tomorrow. mehmet oz is spending his final days trying to persuade suburban voters in philly that he's a moderate, that he is a conciliatory figure, but he'll be in latrobe, pennsylvania, on the other side of the state tomorrow with donald trump. you've got to wonder about these mixed messages. he's going to be with doug mastriano, the sort of hard right candidate for governor, and donald trump, and then he's going to run back to people to persuade people he's moderate. >> if republicans do take back criminal of the house, what does that agenda look for like for 2023 for them? >> it's really easy to run against things as they are and run on things being bad. it's been actually pretty difficult for republicans to articulate a positive sort of economic agenda. the big chunk of it that they have talked about is on tax cuts. they want to make the trump tax cuts permanent. they want to roll back biden's tax increases.

the problem is that i'm not sure there's a whole lot of evidence that that is going to deal with the economic problems that the country's facing right now. principally inflation, but again, i mean, in this kind of environment, republicans are finding it easy and also, you know, perhaps beneficial to them to simply say things are really bad. we understand your pain, and not really offer to voters anything or much in the way of concrete proposals for what they will actually do if they are given power. >> and harry, if the democrats lose both chambers or either chamber what does it tell us about national elections in 2024? >> it says zero, zero, zero, the fact of the matter is the party in power almost always loses house seats. even so in elections, more than half the time that president actually wins re-election. >> no more coffee, harry. >> can't help it. >> he hasn't had any. breaking news from the january 6th select committee that the former president has missed a subpoena deadline to

provide documents to the committee. come ing up next, maggie haberman on the new reporting the former president has a date circled to announce he's running again. later cnn's elle reave has an inside look how republicans are training those who believe in the former president's voter fraud conspiracy theories to be poll watchers. i'm on a mission to talk to people about getting screened for colon cancer, and hear their reasons why. i screen for my son. i'm his biggest fan. if you're 45 or older at average risk, you have screening options, like cologuard. cologuard is noninvasive and finds 92% of colon cancers. it's not for those at high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your provider if cologuard is right for you. everyone has a reason to screen for colon cancer. if you're 45 or older, get started at missiontoscreen.com my dad was a hard worker.

point this is what's happening. >> what is the committee's next move? what happens? >> now we wait to see how this plays out. you know, the committee said by next week the trump team has to start producing documents, so we'll see if there is some good faith effort by the trump team to hand over some documents or to at least say we can give you these documents. we have privilege concerns about these others or we may see them continuing to try to delay, delay, delay. we don't know if the trump team is going to try to be in any way cooperative with this committee or if they could ultimately try to file a lawsuit or something like that and essentially kick the can down the road because they expect the committee's work to expire early on in january. we've asked the trump team repeatedly today how they're going to play all of this, and we have yet to hear back from them. >> sara murray, appreciate it. cnn, "the new york times," and axios who broke the story are

reporting that the former president could announce another run on or around the 14th of this month. sources familiar with the matter telling cnn that some of his top aides consider this time frame ideal if republicans do well on tuesday. as for the once and perhaps future candidate, here's what he said yesterday at a rally in iowa. >> i will very, very, very probably do it again, okay? very, very, very probably. get ready. that's all i'm telling you, very soon. get ready. >> joining us now cnn political analyst, "new york times" political correspondent maggie haberman, she is the best selling author of the remarkable book "confidence man: the making of donald trump and the breaking of america." so how real is this? this is happening? this is real? what are you hearing? >> it sure seems so, anderson. with donald trump, you never want to say it's an absolutely. i have been hearing from multiple people it's likely to be that week of november 14th. they consider it an ideal time, as you said, because it would be right after the midterms. he had been talking about announcing before the midterms. that really worried a lot of

republicans who tried to talk him out of it through various methods. telling them he would be blamed if they lost. remember, he loses some things by doing this, anderson. what he thinks he gains is some protection from justice department investigations and he tries to forestall the rest of the field, especially in a week that mike pence's book is coming out. what he loses is the ability to use his outside groups to pay for legal bills. the clock starts on his hard dollar fund-raising and hard dollar spending. so it's not without risks, but you know, he has been out of the limelight in a way that he can't stand, and i think that's a big piece of this. >> is that what -- is that what tipped the scale, you think? >> i think what tipped the scale is always with him getting attention is the biggest deal. i think that wanting to freeze the field and wanting to send a signal to the justice department that he is going to make it as hard as possible on them publicly should they move ahead with any kind of indictment of him or in georgia of the fani willis investigation that's a state investigation. i think that all of these are factors. i don't think one necessarily outweighs the others, but i think that he has always thought

that getting in sooner rather than later made more sense. >> do you know -- i mean, do you have a sense of what his campaign will look like at this stage or i mean, is it going to be these big rallies? does he have staff? >> it's a really good question, and the answer on staff is it's pretty lean right now. folks around him will say that's by design because they consider 2020 to be fairly bloated, but it's also, frankly, reflecting the reality that so far and in cases it's because people are tied up with the midterms. in some cases there are people who are very leery of being in donald trump's orbit because of the constant churn around him, legal and otherwise. i think it will be small going into early 2023. assuming he does get in, i think you will see some small number of political events happening, we don't know if the declaration would be a rally or a press conference i think he will

resume rallies like he did before. >> you just heard sara murray's reporting that former president trump missed the subpoena deadline for documents to the january 6th committee. would an announcement complicate any potential dealings with -- i guess it would complicate any dealings with the committee. >> well, i don't know that it complicates it. i think it certainly becomes something else that he points to. i think donald trump is running out the clock because he thinks that the committee is going to go away if a house majority is given to republicans after next tuesday. it is not clear what the margin will be if that happens. but his assumption is and his aide's assumption is this is going to at some point end and as sara said, i think they have to decide whether they want to file a lawsuit to just help stall that motion. >> do you think he would hold his announcement even if the georgia election results are still undecided? >> well, i do, but i think that

he will be under pressure not to, and we'll see what happens. if there is a runoff, i think that is absolutely a complicating factor. he is already been blamed, continues to be blamed for the losses in georgia on5th, 2021, and those runoffs, i'm not sure anyone around him thinks it's a wise idea for him to face that again. >> do you think he announces, does he then get -- i guess then it's sort of -- i don't know how much coverage he's been getting on, you know, a fox news or big conservative outlets. does that -- does that make him more bookable on those shows? >> i think it's a problem for him, anderson. i think for a number of reasons the conservative media landscape has changed for him. i think one major reason is so many of these outlets have gotten embroiled in defamation lawsuits by-election companies because of the lies about the election in 2020 that were spouted on their platforms or than their websites or on their programs. and i think that there is some risk in their minds in having

him on. he has very visibly not been on fox news very much. he's not on news max. he is really relegated to other podcasts or some conservative radio. it's just a very different world than it was in 2015 when he first got into politics. >> interesting point, maggie hagerman, appreciate it. in both his winning 2016 campaign and his 2020 defeat, the former president enjoyed strong support from white evangelical voters. 77% in 2016 according to pew research center. 84% in 2020. with that in mind, our garrett tuchman visited baptist church in virginia where the pastor seemed to buck that trend during the last election and his congregation did not seem to like it. >> reporter: at the stewarts draft baptist church in virginia's shenandoah valley. >> good morning, everyone, good to see you all here. >> reporter: this sunday service is led by a pastor who took the place of this pastor. >> i don't want to start controversy.

apparently god does and i'm just the messenger. >> taking his place after this outdoor sermon during the worst of the covid pandemic just a few months before the 2020 presidential election. >> why will we not finally admit that we have put a liar in our white house? why will we not finally admit that is anti-christ? >> reporter: and william cobb who had been the spiritual leader of this evangelical southern baptist church wasn't anywhere near done talking about donald trump. >> 18,000 fact check lies in 1,100 days is more than just unacceptable. it is more than just sin. it is more than just wrong. it is demonic. >> reporter: and then cobb added this. >> and you can't deny it because jesus says it.

and if you choose to deny that, then you choose to deny jesus. you can't have it both ways. you can't support the lie and claim the truth. you can't support the anti-christ and support the christ. >> this is william cop and his wife carroll today. after you made this sermon, what happened to you? >> i was fired. >> i knew when i heard it that we would not be staying at the church. >> i want to say he was a friend. >> reporter: jim brooks is a deacon at the church. >> the thing that got me was at the very end pastor cop said that if you voted for donald trump, you are not a christian. that was the biggest thing for me. >> reporter: within 48 hours, william cop says, the church leaders including deacon brooks asked for his resignation. >> is what you're saying, do you believe that people cannot be good christians or thinking christians if they support donald trump?

>> that's a real tough one, and probably that's exactly what i'm saying. >> william cop says his sermon criticized other political and religious leaders, too, and contends it was not a political speech but a moral one. sermons in evangelical churches combining politics are far from rare. two days before the 2020 election listen to this pastor in maine. >> we have an election on tuesday. i pray god's mercy grants president donald trump victory. i don't have a problem standing in front of you here saying so. >> reporter: and four days after election day, this texas pastor referring to the so-called stolen election. >> expose all wickedness intended to steal, to kill, and destroy the electoral process in these battleground states. now let's pray. >> reporter: according to surveys from the pew research center, it appears there's a strong association between trump's political movement and the evangelical religious label.

the research from last year further indicates that among all white adults who participated in both the 2016 and 2020 surveys, 25% described themselves as born again or evangelical protestants in 2016. 29% described themselves this way in 2020. the current pastor of the church, billy coffey says he loved pastor cop but told us many congregants were upset and hurt by what he said and would leave if pastor cop did not. so it was a matter of saving the church rather than saving the pastor. the new pastor telling us when you mix religion and politics it won't make religion better. they have now moved to north carolina and joined a presbyterian church where he will occasionally fill in for pastoral duties. >> what do you think the lord thinks of what you said in your sermon that day? >> well done my good and faithful servant. >> did william cop indicate if he had any misgivings about how

he handled the situation? >> i did talk to william cop about that. obviously his life has changed a great deal, but he says he's comfortable with what he did and he believes what he said in his sermon is, quote, biblically supported. anderson? >> gary tuchman, appreciate it. thanks. coming up, cnn's elle reeve introduces us to a man who believes the 2020 election was stolen is now being trained to be a poll watcher, part of a number of such people who will be at polling stations across america in four days. road♪ ♪follow, follow, follow, follow♪ ♪follow the yellow brick road♪ ♪ heart-pounding design. intelligent technology. ♪ courageous performance. discover a new world of possibilities with a bold new take on the lexus rx. never lose your edge.

after false claims by the former president in the last election about poll watchers being prevented from observing the vote counting process, which did not happen, he and party officials this year have put a premium on recruiting additional republicans to become poll watchers. poll watching, however, requires training, and cnn's elle reeve has an inside look at how some republican poll watchers are doing it. >> so what are they training you to do then when you're watching -- >> observe. >> what are you looking for exactly? >> observing. we're looking for oddball stuff,

i guess. >> john p. child is training to be a poll watcher. part of a wave of organizing among people who believe the 2020 election was stolen. >> all over the country we're deploying people to be poll watchers to watch everything that's happening. >> reporter: generally it's a good thing when more people get engaged in their local government but some of this engagement is motivated by lies. >> especially the mail-in ballots. that's where the big issue was in 2020. because in pennsylvania there were 1.8 million mail-in ballots went out. 2.5 million come back, there was a question maybe. >> are you sure about that? >> look it up, sure. >> can we google it? >> i wouldn't -- it's everywhere. >> so the first result is from the a.p. a.p.'s assessment, false, in the weeks before the november 2020 election, more than 3 million pennsylvania voters requested vote by mail. >> reporter: we met john at a poll watcher training put on by delaware county conservatives. the organizer wouldn't let us in but john agreed to an interview

and he brought the training materials. >> my head was spinning at the end of it. it's a rabbit hole. >> so tell me about -- >> i liked it better when i didn't know any of this, honestly. >> tell me about what was so mind-blowing in this? >> the whole chain of custody thing. that was astounding. >> the documents go through many technical and procedural details of how votes are counted after polls closed and question whether each is an avenue for cheating. it casts an enormous amount of suspicion over the vote without any proof. it's part of a real nationwide movement led by maga influencers who circulate election fraud in podcasts across the country. >> notice how mail-in votes will switch with in-person votes. >> reporter: they've inspired local citizens to get involved at the local level. they have not found proof or fraudsters. what election officials are worried about is that these efforts could intimidate voters. >> you have to get into the

ring. you cannot fight this on social media. >> i have watched like many of these different presentations, steve bannon, like this guy calls himself the presser want presenting this evidence. but none of that stuff adds up to the millions of votes between trump and biden. >> so you're not convinced and we're a bunch of crazy people then. >> i didn't say you're crazy. >> well, sure you are. >> i didn't say you're crazy. >> no, we're diluted, misled. i don't see it that way. >> maybe misled. i know you don't see it that way. i guess one reason why it's important it talk to people like you is to see that there's a place where there could be reconciliation. >> yeah, go back to same day voting and paper ballots. >> we get these comments, people come to us at county council meetings. we need to use paper ballots. we do use paper ballots. do you understand, we use paper ballots. >> dealing with election misinformation has become a big part of the county council's job. >> so the votes are cast on a paper ballot and then they are scanned, and the results of that

vote are tabulated on the scanner. but you're not really voting on the scanner. you're voting on the paper ballot, and that paper ballot is maintained as a report of the voters' vote. >> reporter: delaware county in pennsylvania has fought 15 election lawsuits against 2020 election deniers and won all of them, but it cost more than $250,000, and officials are worried about how much more time and money this movement will drain with the midterms. >> mail-in ballots are susceptible to fraud. >> reporter: most of the public comments falsely suggested that something sketchy is going on with elections. >> somebody can stand up at one of our meetings and they get three minutes to say whatever they want, spout off lies about the election. there's not much i can do about it. >> we're talking about electronic digital devices. every one of those is providing a gateway for outside intervention or in-house intervention as it may be.

more of a dictatorship than it is democracy. >> i'm hoping to put my eyes on things. >> will you accept the results of the mid-term election even if it's not the results -- >> accept it? what am i going to start a revolt, no. accept it. >> yeah. >> i have to accept it.

what else are you going to do? >> it's fascinating. he seems like a nice guy who clearly, you know, believes this stuff. this is a griffe, though. so many of these people doing the podcast and it's a grift. they're making money off this. >> oh, yeah, they have lots of ads for gold and supplements and all that kind of thing. >> and how concerned are you? i mean after talking -- after seeing this how concerned are you about these poll watchers? >> oh, very. but you have to understand that all of these people they think they're the good guys. >> right. >> they think they're going to stop subversion of democracy. and added to that they've created this cloud of suspicion over what happens in the process. what happens when something there catches their eye. what kind of chaos might they start? >> they're being misled but it's

mentioned earlier how close the senate race in pennsylvania is. now democrat john fetterman just got a big endorsement from oprah winfrey. this is what she said on thursday evening. >> i will tell you all this, if i lived in pennsylvania, i would have already cast my vote for john fetterman for many reasons. >> this morning john fetterman expressed gratitude for the endorsement during an interview on abc's "the view." >> what does this mean to you and your campaign? >> i mean, she's an icon. it's unbelievable. it's an honor. i'm so grateful, and you know, she understands what's at stake here in this race, and like i said, it was just incredibly, incredibly honored to have her support in this race, truly. >> unclear what, if any, impact her endorsement may have. but it is notable given she promoted mehmet oz for years on her daytime talk show.

cnn's randi kaye has details of their story. >> my friend and mentor, oprah winfrey! >> reporter: long before dr. mehmet oz got his own show, he was a regular on opera's talk show making more than 60 appearances. >> all these chemicals, they just are going up. it's fight or flight. something's coming at you and you can either fight it or run. >> reporter: he held oprah's hand on tv the first time she got acupuncture. >> as these needles go in, they're going to get placed at your nerve, as these nerves get stimulated. >> when are they going in? >> not yet. >> reporter: and awed her audience with spell binding demonstrations. >> this is a female heart, you get to hold that one. it's about the size of your fist. and this is the male heart. >> reporter: oz appeared on the show from 2006 to 2011 during which the harvard educated heart surgeon became a household name. >> i want to challenge you all. >> reporter: in 2009, oprah's company launched the dr. oz show. >> it's like my son grew up.

and has his own show. he left home. you're doing all right, son? >> i am, mom. i'm doing very well. >> reporter: the program was a massive platform for dr. oz. >> whoa. >> reporter: but it didn't come without trouble. in 2014 a study in the peer-reviewed british medical journal found that of the 40 randomly selected episodes from oz's television show, his health recommendations were based on evidence just 46% of the time. but despite the criticism, the program drew millions of viewers and built a loyal following, but it wasn't enough for oprah. randi kaye, cnn. coming up, putting politics aside talking about the biggest power ball prize in history and harry enton is back to tell us there's actually a strategy to picking your numbers, which i find hard to believe. we'll have details next. >> we'll see. >> we'll see.

one lucky person could soon be cashing in on the biggest ever lottery jackpot, an estimated $1.6 billion is now at stake in tomorrow night's powerball drawing pushing it just slightly of the last record set in 2016. this will be the 40th drawing since the jackpot was last won in august. if no one wins, it'll tie the record for number of consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner. despite being the biggest prize ever, the lump sum is only about $780 million. back with me tonight our favorite senior reporter harry henton. >> i'm here because i'm going to give you advice on how to do. okay. first off, there are some numbers that seem to win more often than the others. that's complete chance. the way you want to win or maximize your chance of winning the biggest prize is to pick numbers above 31. why? because often choose anniversaries and birthdays. of course there's only 31 days

max in every month, so if you don't want to split the prize, pick numbers above 31. that way you don't split the prize if you do win. >> okay. so, what would -- okay. what do most people do when they win? do they go for the lump sum? >> often they do go for the lump sum. but here are some other things that are interesting from the numbers. the polling shows that most people will in fact split the prize with their family and friends. if you win, i expect a million dollars. two, they in fact quit their current job if you win. i hope you don't quit if you win because i like you a lot. of course, for me, the question is what would i do if i won? let me tell you that i would go and move to salem, massachusetts, and start running a halloween store because i just feel like that would be so tidy. so, i guess my question to you, anderson, is what would you do if you won the, let's say, nearly $800 million if you took the lump sum or over a billion dollars with the 30-year annuity.

selfish answers only, by the way. no giving to charity. >> i wouldn't do anything different. i like what i do. >> would you buy a nice place in bermuda or something like that >> no. >> how about maybe you could buy a sports team and learn about sports. >> i would not do that. i don't know. i would give away -- i mean, what do you -- that's a lot of money. >> that is a lot of money. give it to charity could be one thing that you do. but maybe, here's the idea. we can go on a cruise ship together. >> no. >> no? >> no, no. >> how about you send me on a cruiseship. >> i will happily send you on a cruiseship. >> thank you, thank you. >> and we can go to lunch, too. why the heck not. >> how's your wallet doing? >> my wallet is doing well. i have 5.2 billion. >> harry enten, thank you. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back.

at the end of the week we like to remember somebody who has recently died.

who lived a life that we think you should know about. tonight we remember a woman by the name of hannah pick goseler. >> my name is hannah pick. i was born in berlin 12, november 1928. >> to escape rising anti-semitism in the early 1930s, her family moved to amsterdam. it was there she met another little girl that would be an important friend. hannah described seeing her in a documentary called "that's what i hope." >> it's the first week when high mother bent to the grocery shop with me, she met another lady with her little girl. >> that little girl was anne frank. >> so, we went to become friends the first week in holland. later we always went together to kindergarten, to school and so on and so on. >> often times, anne's father

took both her and hannah to his office while he worked. >> then ana and me had fun. we had a little bit of water and people that were passing. we would play with the telephone from one room to another. >> germany invaded the netherlands in 1940, and two years later, part of that office building became a hiding place for the frank family, where anne would write her diary. it was published in 1947 as "the diary of a young girl." the franks were arrested in 1944, and anne and her sister ended up at a concentration camp. hannah ended up there too. she heard a rumor that her friend, anne, might be in a nearby part of the camp and went to find her. >> and at night i tried to go as near. it was forbidden to go as near as i could to the fence. and somehow i called, hello, hello. >> word got to anne, and soon

both girls met. they spoke to each other, separated by a barbed wire fence. >> and really it was not the ana, the very nice little girl i knew from amsterdam. the sad little girl. the first thing, we cried. then she asked if i could help with food. >> all hannah could manage was some cookies, bread, dried prunes and a little bit of sugar. she stuffed it in a sock and threw it over the fence. the first time, another prisoner stole it. later, she tried again. >> she caught the package, but that was the end. we saw one another at the end of february. and then i didn't see her anymore. >> reporter: hannah would never see anne frank again. after she was freed, she learned anne had died. hannah moved to switzerland and eventually immigrated to what would become israel. she became a pediatric nurse and lived to be 93. she died recently at her home in
