it to. a rural state in the heart of america's great plains. gretna is a sweeping little town home to just 5000 residents. just off the highway this small gas station is a popular meeting place for local workers. 53 year old david perry comes here every day for his morning cup of coffee. orders. it's been part of his daily routine for almost 20 years. he comes here every morning before starting work at 730 to meet up with 2 friends randy and jerry are both local farmers. the. you guys are always here we don't

there we solve the world's problems every morning. we're here. they regularly discuss ways of saving the world but for the past 5 years david has had far fewer worries on his mind you they all remember the day his life changed forever. it was here more anywhere he would come in the door with a lottery ticket and he walked through right down on the table each. star overgaard. won the lottery ticket after what i was my best friend. except on that day david won the big bucks big time this year 62000000 dollars in just moments he went from a poor working class man to a member of the elite one percent of top earners but he never forgot his old friends to check out the shops washer so. he quit his job as a mechanic at the workshop just next door. david

was working 2 jobs to get by 12 hour days for just $2500.00 a month he said it traded it. a pit in my eyes what it is to be poor in rural america. so what we do. now david has some of the trappings of a millionaire he cruises around in a classic 1972 dodge challenger. he bought this gigantic 2000000 dollar property overlooking the plains what he treasures most telephone lies on the other end of the garden his own workshop. twice as big as his old place of work to form a mechanic still likes to get his hands dirty. except now instead of work it's a hobby i'm fairly new at this. but growing up we always played

a total of around a half $1000000.00. simply did he imagined that before just imagine his all watching t.v. programs but you always always had a dream of having a nice vehicle to work on an old classic. and no i have several i'm catching up. millions of americans try their luck every week hoping one day their numbers come up if it's. a lottery is an institution in the u.s. played by one in a tree americans one hour also get this almost $80000000000.00 lottery tickets and scratch cards are sold here each year and the signs of the country's population means jackpots are astronomical. a record jackpot of more than one and a half $1000000000.00 was won in 2016 and again in $28000.00. child

porn his latest name is. it not to be the case now. in america a lot of people dream of becoming a billionaire. since winning his jackpot jack has been busy splashing the catch it's always 60000 that's not lost and living it up. but his parents are worried and would prefer if he'd just live a normal life. in which their past lives. in the brassica david and erica herrick became the richest people in the county overnight but they were determined to stay true to their values we nickname ourself the redneck great speaker as we haven't changed yet so we're not. becoming a billionaire however can be both a blessing and a curse this is just after the lottery when. they're all dark around the edges.

the worst thing that would happen to us only took him down the hill. then there's tim who won 14000000 dollars 20 years ago and he's since spent most of it now he campaigns to. highlight the dangers of the modern say no to people it's one of the most important lessons i had to learn if i gave everyone what they wanted i would have been broke a long time ago so what is the dark side to an industry that has so many americans in it strong. 30000 and what is life like for those lucky winners we look at what happens when america hits the jackpot. back in nebraska even though they're worth more than $60000000.00 david and erica haven't forgotten their roots.

not long ago the family of 6 was crammed into this modest sized home on the working class side of town in gretna. but the. neighbors. this was or family home for about 16 years the kids were raised here you know we're not here anymore the memories are still here. as well as daughter amanda . amanda and her 2 children are now living in the house a present from mom and dad. through perfect gift really the most humble like of. david and erika gave each of their children a house in order to avoid sibling rivalry. this is over taylor. $24.00 of $225000.00. their other son corey's house cost the same price.

their youngest still lives with them in this huge mansion it was the 1st thing they bought with their $62000000.00 check. it boasts around $600.00 square metres of floor space and huge decorated rooms. plus a kitchen kitted out in wood and black granite the nouveau riche couple aren't fond of gold leaf or marble columns. after winning the lottery former nurse erico went on a shopping spree as is evident by the ongoing war being fought in the walk in closet my space my space my eyes. i'm just in need in that space but he won't give it up. meanwhile their assets earn them another half a $1000000.00 in interest every year but you won't find in the designer shoes or old couture dresses here they largely prefer sneakers and t.

shirts the harry family keep souvenirs of the day their lives changed for ever. david america they are our newest millionaires the 1st thing we would say you are tired of some of those pictures. that was the scene 5 years ago when they had just won the powerball jackpot the biggest lottery in the country in front of the cameras the state governor handed over their check it was major news in the brass. despite their newfound wealth david and erica have managed to remain grounded. i told my friends before our friends and your friend listen she was very you're friends with us today. and they're there who defines us family friends church we're not going to change i'm still learning i feel depressed i have not going to change some. 5 years on family friends and traditions still remain into gold to the

herrick's life although now they can afford to enjoy themselves as much as they might. tomorrow it's independence day. on this very special national holiday americans honor those who fought for their freedom and continue to fight for bread not proudly displays the star-spangled banner all across town. as a patriotic family it's an event the herrick's wouldn't miss for the world. we're all here together down there side. tonight they'll be throwing the biggest party in the county a few hours from now they'll be hosting $150.00 people in their backyard and in nebraska a good party is a poem about the food itself. erica could afford to hire

a caterer i did all the other stuff but i'm in that ballpark unwinds but in this house cooking is a family affair. and so this is how down steve you think oh there's always are about the 1st 40 pounds for that forex orange. that is all for free despite their wealth to her exotic to the rustic recipes of their working class roots. they don't want champagne and caviar like some millionaires. are so is so funny we are we nickname ourself. redneck ranch speak says we've never been into that kind of stuff and so it's you know we're not change and so we haven't changed yet so we're not change and. what has changed however is the number of guests they can welcome it's 6 pm the entire

family and all the neighbors are basking in herrick's high tech pool in scenes reminiscent of a public water park. america's stepfather mel never misses a party at the harry. it's always a good party. because it's all the food goes something like a pool party i mean what's bad about it before the lottery it was paycheck to paycheck and everybody lived on their house or retired and now it's just a big huge family here and we're all part of the lottery hasn't just changed the couple's life it's benefited their family and friends to carmichael america's dad this money is a blessing i don't have to worry about them and i don't have to worry about my other 2 daughters because i know that they will take care of my daughter so the family is better because i think for all we know whatever the future brings we're

going to be ok when they were 4 they would give their last dollar to someone who needed it but they do the same thing now what has changed is their lifestyle they live much differently but as you see here it's a day they live in with other people. since cashing in their $62000000.00 check the herrings are still as working class is there are no bankers lawyers or c.e.o.'s on there guess most. people from all walks of life you're fired for your own words what true. good good good good writer. is he concerned people will take advantage of him and not these people i mean these are the ones you call and you know your friends are full right. david has been very generous to us french this small gathering cost him almost

$12000.00. after a 12 person congar ride down the water slide the fireworks begin. the 10 minutes back tickle cost $8000.00. 5 years after winning david and erica have stuck to their promise. they've stayed true to their roots however there are plenty of temptations for a lottery winner and the money can disappear all too quickly. on an almost daily basis jack does a full 18 holes on his favorite course good shot. i never.

knew can handle the pressure you can't handle the pressure that jack has now turned 50 and can live the kind of charmed life that used to be the stuff of dreams. my name is jack stressing from buffalo new york and we won the lottery 4 years ago a $1000.00 a day for life and it never ends until i die so i have nothing to worry about anymore and this is what i do on my days off. for jack did win less than the herrick's but he now has a constant supply of cash he has parents and his brother one cash for life $365000.00 a year until they die which they divide between them so every year jack jeff and jack sr are wired $120000.00 regardless jack quit his job as a nurse immediately. right down the middle. and now he's making the most of his early retirement. since winning the lottery

jack's life is like one big vacation after golf he heads out shopping. 0 0 0 buffalo is in the western new york state it has a fair share of skyscrapers and office buildings but by american standards this is a city of average size with close 230-0000 residents. it's one of the oldest ports in the eastern u.s. and proud of its industrial past jack has lived here all his life as have some of his oldest friends this afternoon he's going to flex his bank card with joey somebody oh it's still a new car let's go do it jack sets off to buy himself a new car. excited. joey has been through a lot with jack and especially during his somewhat turbulent professional career 1st he was a nurse then moved on to stock trading before losing everything i know you used to

work for him. he wasn't as much fun but he was that he was fun. it's just. nice to have more time to do fun things it's less stress. right there. while i used to be kind of rich before what i used to trade stocks that's when they like me and then when i had that when i became 4 they said they don't want to hang out with me anymore i had to move home for air to make fun of me and jack is now earning $10000.00 a month by doing absolutely nothing. today he's picking up his new toy a $50000.00 state of the art s.u.v. . for this monnerie winner temptation is never far away. that is pretty sweet as. it's a new one. it's always $60000.00 that's not lost.

maybe that's my next one. let's go. this former nurse has absolutely no regrets and would never have been able to afford this kind of car before. it's fast like. it's 3 in the afternoon midweek and this young retiree seems to have a lot of friends for our real ones here jack's winnings unable to him to move to a quiet suburban neighborhood quiet everywhere except jack's place. says some crazy person drawl this. on his part gray hair for. he bought this spacious house and as you'll see it became party central in the neighborhood but his friends haven't come to enjoy his bachelor stylish interiors and golf trophies put brings jack's friends around and more importantly his female friends is found right behind the store.

shelves go down back here. every afternoon even when he isn't home his yard becomes a kind of spring break destination these young people don't even wait for him to get home before starting the party. sorry. but. what's not being. that jack is a veteran partier and knows all the bars in buffalo thanks to his lottery winnings his house is now the place to be. it's open bar for all the women even if none of them are his girlfriend. who knows i'll call snacks i supply the pool the music and the waterfall in the sunshine. and my company that's the most important part. of them before winning the lottery all of them

all of those are friends for 10 years or so those are my bard c. are they out of work later on at night so they got on board by myself there in the day so i need friends to come over the total cost to produce oh i don't know. not a lot. not a lot not only when you win the lottery it's not ok i'll jump off the waterfall for you guys. jack has built his own personal paradise on this 300000 dollar estate there's just one tiny thing missing from his otherwise perfect life. more sucks. more for that i'm going to slow. real. real true with

real. jack is constantly surrounded by distinctly younger women but is still single a life without financial worry and largely comprising rest and recreation. but his parents who have a share in the winnings 2 aren't happy with his lifestyle they live just 5 minutes away. from the door. you're. doing your story. both 73 year old jack sr and his wife sharon one thier son to find a wife and are concerned about his lax lifestyle and they don't hesitate to remind him every time he visits. i mean i wouldn't mind if he got. a lot of doing and he could be a little cleaner on the south. bay lazy fun

that's the amount lazy i just don't feel like work and i got a golfing was hard today it was hard to. call saying pool parties it's darts never invite us over for a view to use your pool and go over to morrow bikini tomorrow bikini sundays. most of the tapas thursday to wear her topless tuesday. tuesday tuesday. you better not really hesitant oh dear. jack sr and sharon are a lot wiser with their winnings their only luxury this 370 somewhere meter house with a sizable yard for their sheets to put to roam around. dad was a steelworker while mom stayed home to take care of the family pickup will always have to work hard to get by and they still haven't gotten used to living in such luxury this is like kids. have a beautiful microwave and

a beautiful or fridge generator and. i do all my cooking year i even have a dishwasher which i never had in my whole life. do you use it no i use it day at thanksgiving and christmas. sharon and jack sr would have never been able to afford all this with their pension which is less than a $1000.00 a month. jack finally got to buy himself something he'd always dreamed of having welcome to my basement. the best about the house was my man cave basement where men can be man. this is his pride and joy with a movie lounge and a blown up poster of the ticket that changed his life. they all came out it was our birthdays the numbers 417-2021 they come out exactly sister way i put it.

before hitting the jackpot the lives of both sons and his family seem to be already mapped out with small and poorly paid jobs and long years of hard work. put in lean years to give the kids spending money they always they were boy for voice why should. their station or sides. 14 years old yeah. earn their own money you know or you know where there were only one or they not anymore anymore i don't have to work that's why organs i binged wow you can't get rid of so he's no longer stuck in the eat work sleep routine now jack is a poster boy for the lottery and in the us the lottery is a huge business to encourage americans to keep playing and betting the jackpots keep growing and those who do win make the front pages and become famous overnight

. welcome california's latest millionaire. it seems people can't get enough of these lucky winners mockups some have even been featured in reality t.v. shows or maybe married all around you. like this one where the host helps them find their new dream home kathy winners who are more than willing to show the world their new lifestyle after striking gold. that. we're now in denver colorado at the foot of the rocky mountains. this slick looking building is home to the state lottery commission contrary to popular belief lottery industry is run not by big business but by public authority. how

are you today. i think i just won something ok is a real estate agent she has 5 out of 6 numbers in the latest powerball. yeah yeah i think i won 30000 on this tidy sum will allow her to enter the winner's club . those the lottery chooses to feature in its publicity. very bad 30. it's. really exciting yeah happiest place on earth the best. case photo will be a mediately posted on the moderates website where she will join the winners in america having money is certainly not frowned upon and when people when they're eager to make it public. it's really important that people see real coloradans where you know when they see someone like a they know ok so it really wasn't. a colorado lottery makes the most of the winners he lay ssion and the winner seem happy to tell the whole world. filming the

reaction of people when they find out how much they won makes for great advertising . and we're about to surprise diego b. with a huge check for a quarter of a $1000000.00 a diego good. citizen basis for you i think your christmas just got a whole lot better you just want to write. you know. you just write. a lot or rearranged everything beforehand with diego's family. man that's a quarter of a $1000000.00 a year it changes the life of the one who owns it was her. whether surprising people at work or at home the message is the same this could happen to anyone anytime anywhere all you have to do is play.

but there is also a dark side to the lottery. what winners do not get along with their 2. jack is advice about financial issues awaiting them for some winning the jackpot can be the start of a nightmare. in canada just across the border from the majestic niagara falls daniel became a victim of his own success. he's a member of niagara united a counseling group that helped him get back on track. here but after. year. he was just 23 years old when he won

a jackpot worth $5000000.00. i felt like i was on top of the world and that you know that this money would just never run out is almost like i was living the life of the rock stars just go party and within 2 years both choo choo needed me to nath $1000000.00 was gone and that businesses. and the rest also went down the drain over the next 2 years due to substance abuse a habit initially funded by the lottery when i was a is heavily addicted and. and. i had to resort to sawing drugs for a backup you know $45600.00 a day he eventually ended up in prison where he spent 2 and a half years for dealing drugs ironically this is what saved him he had to get clean. that's where i've been that's some of the stuff that has helped me get to

where i am today. and. daniel is far from an isolated case one 3rd of winners ultimately end up losing everything it's a phenomenon known as the curse of the modern. 'd daniel's father jed and his sister naomi watched helplessly as he fell from riches to rags. i almost cried like don't look at makes it right i have it's unless. you do it. daniel is now back on the straight and narrow but at the age of 40 this former millionaire is penniless and had to return to live with his parents in this relatively modest house. there are you.

guys some of it if you are a well man who believed he was on top of the world while spending up to a $1000.00 a day on drugs now works as a car mechanic daniel is still recovering the lottery almost broke him and his entire family. this is just after the lottery when. you kind of see my eyes you can tell us quickly they're all dark around the edges and from not sleeping much. it's been the worst thing ever how. it took him down arrow. all of us we basically lost him we tried so many different times to you know get him to stop doing what he was doing trying to minute by you know knocks leave me alone sleeping alone. as soon as the check was cashed jed and naomi saw fake friends crooked investors and other scammers descending on daniel like vultures to get the claws into a deep and. it was kind of irreversible well when he hit rock bottom that was

a colleague and he came to us and asked if we could come home we gave him this the rules no more this no more of that. and we always looked at him conditionally and. daniel's $5000000.00 when a century ruined 15 years of his life he's never bought a lottery ticket since for all winners managing millions of dollars without any preparation can be a struggle. one of them decided to launch a campaign against these easy money traps. timothy scholtz is one of the youngest powerball winners ever in the u.s.

. prior to hitting the jackpot he worked at a gas station like this one. tim was $21.00 and broke when he won a check for $14000000.00. so my father woke me up. i was sleeping and banged on the door and he basically said to him somebody won the powerball she knew that i played once was it and i looked at the numbers in the newspaper because the cyrillic is this if they're like a dream and then we literally started hugging each other like 2 you know grown people in it it's your kids in a candy store that's what it felt like. the young gas station attendant from rural iowa sold himself his own winning ticket he became rich and famous overnight . and so i couldn't go anywhere i couldn't go to the grocery store without people recognizing. people asking for my autograph 2 decades later he's back to being

anonymous as a girl or a good one powerball ticket was. he still plays the lottery every week hoping to win again. just holding that circuit is like i mean i know the power that comes with this if you happen to want him out of the emotional thrill is still there but his fortune has plummeted from 14 down to just $5000000.00 a big fan of cinema tim put some of his winnings toward organizing festivals and producing his own animated films all of which. he decided to go online to prevent other moderate winners from making the same mistakes he did his you tube channel provides winners with a product form to share their stories whether positive or negative. says the 1st lottery winner i'm actually going to be interviewing in person so this is going

to be fun. today he's meeting denise who lives in an upscale suburban neighborhood in mantega california. i didn't hear you say how are you here have a good. this is a beautiful home thank you you spotted denise in a real estate lottery winner show in which she won $785000.00. ready for this wow. she now lives in this beautiful villa with 2 of her 8 children before the big when she was working 3 jobs and had just lost her home to live their lives there my grandson lives here his mother lives there in a sister would say that i guess that it's hotel motel holiday if it. really for all of my daughters because. it pays their manner. assholes they could

always count all the time that's why the loving mother didn't spend her cash on luxury cruises or a big car she invested everything in this house to give her family a home and set herself up for retirement she wants to send out a message on tim's channel sit down there and all this focus. if you do win the lottery you need to learn how to resist temptation what people want to live their life why don't you travel why you acts like a man and you know that's all it into it to leave. your dentures. tim received hundreds of letters from strangers asking for money. working winners also need to learn how to say no even to friends and family it's one of the most important lessons i had to learn because it's really tough especially what struck it all that i love if i gave everyone what they wanted i would have been broke a long time ago. to have the exam the brassica have so far managed to avoid these

traps that more naive winners fall victim to they were quick to learn how to manage their $62000000.00 driving their beefy pickup truck with golf cart in tow the couple are headed out to their latest major investment. and our away from their mansion they've bought 400 hectares of land forests and ponds right in the middle of nebraska farming country. the herrick's are effectively the new norms of otoh county. to the i although it is as such more davids a state. and when asked if she likes the farm erica says. to gird

it's too dirty that. david has gotten into farming. ready. to rent some of the land out to local farmers and cash in on a percentage of their profits. the rest is for him a $300.00 hectare private estate for hunting and fishing a dream come true for david even if not so much for erica. that's pretty serious. this all the land altogether was 2 and a half $1000000.00 so you know you can't go wrong owning land take care of it. that's the biggest thing but the last erica doesn't really see the point of this huge investment despite being multi-millionaires they still try to remember the value of money. you've got to always be aware of what you're spending because it

goes quick while big or small your budget is you got a budget and their monthly budget is about $25.00 grand a month so who's the big spender. he buys big things cars trucks so my little $20.00 purchases versus his. $30000.00 car america is more cautious but the couple could easily move like royalty the interest alone generated from their fortune turns them $500000.00 a year oh boy it is toys david could chill out at home all day but this isn't that kind of family. for us at our age being young and retired. and you still have to do something you can't just i'm tired cetera all. right there with everything. david enjoys his newly found leisure time before the lottery he barely had time to

see his family between his 2 jobs but since winning he's been able to realize a childhood dream and become a volunteer firefighter it's a commitment that also enables him to keep his feet on the ground. it's nice to have people record being recognized like that for more than just the lottery. because when the lottery was one quick moment. but i'm still the same person i got to be i got to be true to myself still and i try to do that you're my service for community but for dave can now take the wheel of the kind of truck some boys dream of. will be taking it out around gretna for the national holiday every 4th of july locals pay tribute to their firefighters who watch over the city voluntarily.

always going to have a cause or purpose always gotta have some get out of bed for. 3040 or 40 years figure out a way of life it changed well. since winning he's donated almost $150000.00 to muckle charities he's become grutness big benefactor. it's part of his lottery winners recipe for success being appreciated for who you are not what you have. over in buffalo jack is less selfless with what he spends he prefers to make the most of his money in the moment. and. the life of a young and rich rich. irene. ladies on most nights you'll find him partying with friends and their girlfriends. live in florida 3 cheers her best line. thanks to his marjorie winnings jack can revel in all day parties like
