half a billion dollars. >> and it will be more than that by tomorrow. yep. >> so we got a couple of quick picks. >> don't look at the numbers because you never know if you win, then everybody's going to be all after you. >> they're all after me now and i don't have what they think i've got. trust me. >> here's the deal. if you guys are planning your winnings, you have two choices. you either get a one-time payout of $359 million, which i think goes down to $250 million -- >> don't you hate paying taxes? >> or you can get an annual payment of $19 million. >> what would you do? >> okay. i would think i would do the lump thing, but i kind of need discipline so i like the -- >> kind of? >> -- idea of when you blow the first $19 million in year one there's another one waiting because i don't know that i would be great with dealing with such a huge amount of money. how about you? >> no. i would absolutely take it now. because the dollar is declining. very quickly. and who knows what our dollar's going to be worth -- >> but if you got 19 million of them, who cares?

>> because $19 million will barely buy me my theater on broadway where you can bring all kinds of children in and watch shows for free and change their lives. you see? so i'm going to need the big stuff. >> i was just going to get a beach house and a plane to get back and forth to the beach house. >> which beach would it be on? >> i'd either do the dominican republic or puerto rico. i love the caribbean. i would do somewhere in there. if you want to go -- like right after the show, i'd go to the airport and get on my plane and go. that would be the best. >> then why don't you also get a helicopter to get to you your plane? >> yes, i would do that. >> yes! see, notice -- notice who thought of other people first. >> i was getting there. but first i just wanted to be happy. >> and that's what's wrong with the world. right there! selfish -- never mind. >> come on. >> we're going to put this where

him all fij itty in the chair -- >> he cannot sit style for a moment. >> i think they were saying that's sort of his persona, he's high energy. >> he's a very, very talented guy. nobody disputes that. i think just like we feel with lindsay lohan, if you're an addict and you can't remember the last time you took a drug or you took a drink, then you're not being serious about sobriety, i don't think. you're still playing the game, that'sor other people, i'm different. i didn't see a whole lot of change for him. >> i didn't either. >> i still don't see any -- i hate to be a killjoy, but i don't see any sorrow, any sorrow for any hurt that's been done. you don't want to look back on the highway of your life and see nothing but road kill. >> he seems like he's laughing his way all the way through. >> we hope he gets really serious about it. >> for his sake. >> mostly his children. here's something that will put a smile on your face. there's always a great viral video that makes its way around. this one is an 18-month-old who loves to ski.

>> which you have, cover to cover. i have yet to open the book. that's all you need to know about it, frankly. hoda likes porn. i think it's basically bad for people. >> stop. it does tip into icky. in the book and in the play. >> on page what, hoda? >> in the play. it goes dark. it goes to a very dark place. >> it's fascinating. i appreciated it from the acting standpoint. these are two -- >> they're great actors. >> at the top of their game. can i cheer people up with something else? >> what's more cheerful than porn and sadomasochism? >> for my "ihoda" this week, here's the deal. before we show this, this is -- lionel richie's been doing these duets with country stars. shania twain, do you remember her husband left her for her best friend? >> mutt. >> she actually went to her best friend said, hey, do you think my husband's cheating?

dearest are clued in. the rest can wait until you feel like spreading the news. >> yeah. it's only your business but i don't get the really why is it top-secret? >> i see why beyonce and jay-z did. they wanted something private. and would have been a melee. >> once people know, isn't it over? >> seems to me in this world it is hard to keep a secret. if you can do it and it is important to you, do it. >> cheers. >> jane seymour's with us today. she has a lot going on. it's thursday which means two wonderful women were whisked off the plaza for an "ambush makeover." >> we'll talk to all of them, after this.

sometimes what our parents say to us goes in one ear and out the other. >> and sometimes what they say sticks. >> that's the case for actress, painter and philanthropist jane seymour whose mother taught her to live with an open heart.

>> she didn't just live with it. she created a charity to go along with it. called the open heart foundation. >> every time you're with us you have all kinds of stuff going on but this is, pardon the pun, very close to your heart. >> it is very close to my heart. this was really the way i grew up. so many people have said, gosh, so many things have happened in your life and somehow you always bounce back. i look back and say my mom had this amazing advice. she says when things are tough, and you're dealing with challenge, your instinct is to close off. but if you can open the heart and be in the present moment, reach out to help someone else, by that very action you bring solution and something positive to your own life. what we're doing here with the foundation is we're honoring people that we know and that we see that are public people and also people we may not know so well who have done exactly that. >> when i see that necklace, i always think about the open heart. you're wearing that beautiful necklace now. who's getting honored at your event? >> very exciting. glen campbell and kim, his wife,

for caregivers of the alzheimer's association. glen is actually going to perform with his kids who have a group called instant people. >> they really take care of their dad. >> then we've got holly robinson peete and rodney. they have a charity. her father i think had parkinson's, they have a child with autism so we're covering that. and christina taylor greene, the little girl who was so tragically killed when congressman giffords was shot, her parents turned this around to help the community, to help kids. which is amazing. then kristi yamaguchi whom i love. did you know she had a club foot? who knew that? and so she has this amazing foundation so we're honoring her. basically this is what we're trying to do, encourage people who deal with adversity which we all do at some point. >> but do something about it. >> my mom always said there's always someone worse off than you. but the very act of helping someone else helps you. >> you're having a big party in

malibu right on the ocean. >> we're crazy, we're doing it in our home. we've got glen campbell who will be performing and lp and mark cohen and my son johnny is singing. he's written a special song. >> he's a singer. what kind of music does he sing? >> he does indi -- alternative rock. >> the week before or the week after are you actually having your daughter's wedding? >> my daughter's wedding. >> you are a crazy woman. >> we're keeping the tent up. we're having about 300 guests for her wedding and it will be absolutely beautiful. katie is her name. >> oh, my gosh -- i remember when she was born. >> she's got the most divine husband to be. >> you actually like him. >> i love all of them. they're all getting married now. >> she's got grandkids! >> double grandma. that's rowan. he's about 2 months old now.

that's dylan. >> come on. how adorable are these kids. >> whose children are they? >> that's jenny who refers to herself as flynn now. that's her name. and kaylin who's my husband's son. so they're unbelievable. they're the oldest members of the family. katie's going to wait and get married before she has her baby, so she tells me. and very exciting. we also have our kids books have been made into an animated series. so now we've got television shows for those little boys to watch. >> you really don't sleep. >> thank you, jane, for coming to see us. >> you look beautiful. >> thank you so much. still to come -- the clock is ticking and time is running out. we're going to reveal our "ambush makeover's. but first these messages.

yeah, this is me. we're back on this thirst-day, thursday, with another installment of "today's" ambush plaza makeovers. where we pluck two lucky ladies and surprise them with a brand new look. >> here to show them off, contributor and stylist to the stars louis licari la-la-la-la-la . by the way, everyone says that now when they see you. also jill martin, our "today" and "us weekly" contributor, and author. all right, kids. tell us ant today. >> today was great.

the plaza was full and we found two women that were looking for glamour. >> they came to the right place. >> i hope they did. >> cathy green pollock, 55 years old from sheboygan, wisconsin. she told us she didn't like to do a lot. she was excited for the opportunity to get glammed up for the day. let's take a listen. >> surprise! little shocked in the plaza but you said you got to do it, why do you want this for your mom? >> my mom really deserves a makeover and i've really always pushing for her to be made over. even though she is a beautiful lady, think it would be nice to be touched up a little so it will be fun. >> what do you think about that? >> she is my style consultant. >> a style consultant. i'll listen to you. are you ready to go? >> yeah. >> okay, i'm excited! i guess i need this! all right. >> you're going to get it whether you need it or not.

>> she's here with her daughters and friend and sister and niece. okay, guys, please keep your blindfolds on. let's take one look at kathy before. all right, kathy. let's see the new you. >> wow! you guys ready? take off your blindfolds. take them off. >> you know what i love about her? she doesn't care. >> hey kathy! hello! wan to see yourself? >> right here. >> now you can hug us. >> tell you what i love about kathy. before she even sees herself she hugs every single person. >> well i just -- >> tell us about it.

>> debbie's a doctor and she wanted something low maintenance because she says she has to put this contraption on her head on and off all the time so we had to make it very simple. i made her hair color a little bit richer, which brings out the skin color. it was faded. she was trying to fake covering the gray. it is a rich brown color. >> i love. asymmetrical aspect of it. so chic! >> you go, girl. >> what do you guys think? is she new york? her daughters are crying. >> hello, body! we wanted to give her something for spring-summer. always great to just add a pattern. this is by london times. >> just adorable. >> big round of applause for kathy. come join your people. >> our second lady is tammy, 45 from wilmette, illinois. she's been a nurse for the past 20 years.

she puts on mascara only so her patients don't think she's a mess. so she was thrilled when we approached her. let's hear her story. >> mommy number two and megan is very excited about this. why do you want this for your mom? >> she never wears makeup and i'm done with the sweatshirt. she's against me wearing makeup and dressing up for school. >> so it is time to dress her up. >> yeah. >> are you ready to be glam? >> i'm ready. >> all right. she's here with her daughter, megan who you just saw. let's take one last look at tammy before and bring out the new tammy with a little more makeup, i bet. >> wow! >> megan, are you ready? go, girl. >> oh, my god! >> that is quite a transformation. tammy, turn around and look at yourself. >> oh, my gosh. >> you look beautiful.

>> are those your strappy things hanging out the back? it's a tie. >> spin right around. >> the hair looks awesome. >> the hair is awesome. that's again another great cut by debbie. i made it this blonde color because she likes it blonde but i kept a little bit of warmth but it really works with her skin color. >> it looks like she's natural redhead. >> it does. just to make it all come together, you need to put on just subtle shades of beige foundation. >> look at megan. >> megan, what do you think of your mom, honey? >> really pretty. >> they look like sisters. >> that dress is darling. >> animal print is so in for spring-summer. this is kind of a twist on that. she actually picked it out, i have to be honest. this is by andrew mark. >> you guys look great. >> remember, we've moved "ambush makeovers" to thursday.

>> pretty pissed. >> it's very upsetting. >> it is just flat-out wrong. >> yeah. first of all, how do people get away with this, the fact that we're talking about overall in general, dry cleaning, haircuts, deodorant, et cetera. >> there's two problems. the first is i don't think women are really aware of what's going on out there. when you drop your shirts and husband's shirts off at the dry cleaner, did you know that he pays about one-third less than you do, that you're going to pay substantially more? >> if you went to your dry cleaner and asked why, what excuse would they give you? >> that the steamers are not conformed to fit women's shirts, that they're really standardized for men. i mean excuse me, we put men on the moon. >> we can't come up with a steamer that presses women's shirts? >> women's shirts have more frills. the health insurance industry does this, too. in the health insurance industry women pay $1 billion more for health care than men. they say it is because women take more advantage of their health care options. >> which means women see doctors more regularly which means we're healthier, we're fitter in the long run, we cost less. >> we should be entitled to a better premium.

did you tell me that a man who smokes pays less for health insurance than a woman who doesn't. >> this is an overall trend. is that right? >> it's infuriating. across the board in over 20 states, men pay less than women do when they don't exercise, when they smoke, when they don't take care of themselves. they don't see doctors as regularly and they get a better deal than women who take better care of themselves. >> this could be changing in 2014, obama's health care plan if it goes through successfully, the idea is that individual health care policies cannot discriminate based on gender. >> even if the mandate is found to be unconstitutional, i hope they will put that in -- >> what about things like deodorant? i don't get it. haircuts i kind of understand. a guy's haircuts i think can be different. >> a pottery flowery one we might buy is different than a -- >> it's most egregious at the drugstore. when you walk in and pay for

your pastel package shampoo, deodorants, razors which are exactly the same as a man's razor but they are a pink or purple. you will pay more than a man, no difference. they think women need prettier products, that we'll pay a premium for things that make us feel more lady like. >> what should we do? just buy the man's razor? >> i use frank's razors. it's all the same. >> you can obviously take your business elsewhere but what we can learn from men, they haggle more, they negotiate more, they do strong black and white comparison online before they go into a car dealership or buying a mortgage. women are more likely to go on word of mouth and not haggle or negotiate. we can learn from guys. >> i know if you go to a newsstand and you buy "marie claire," you'll pay the same newspaper price. no matter who you are. >> go ahead and do that! >> thanks so much. it is really upsetting. now look what you've done!

we'll answer your questions about fat versus calories. >> as if we weren't upset enough. >> we're going to talk about fat. >> stick around. i'm meteorologist chris warren. this is your weather channel forecast for today. we're looking at the map where we're expecting the rain in some cases a little bit of snow, and some storms. you'll see a little bit of lightning in here, those flashes shows us where there will be potential for thunderstorms, mainly in the southeast, the ohio valley and the rain is going to be reserved for the pacific northwest. any thunderstorms that we see will likely have heavy rain associated with them. you see all of this orange? this is very warm air. once again, into the northern plains, in some cases, 60s and 70s will be seen. however, in the northern lakes, wisconsin, parts of minnesota,

we'll be in the blue. so much cooler there. a few storms lingering off of the southeast. still a very active pacific northwest. warmest temperatures remain right here in the heartland and in the south with some very warm temperatures for this time of year and much cooler in the northeast. highs only in the 40s. for your sunday forecast, a chance for showers lingering around parts of the eastern likes. that next system in the northwest moves inland a little more and just some spotty areas where we'll see rain, maybe a few storms around the gulf coast on monday. tuesday, things organize a little better and things dry out in texas and the southern plains. the only action is in the extreme southern portion of florida for wednesday. that is what it looks like once again for today. still a chance for storms in the ohio valley to the gulf coast. remember, every weekday on the

>> one question is from jennifer in wichita, kansas. when studies say eating broccoli or drinking tea will prevent cancer, how much do i have to eat for that to be true? >> first, there niece food, no matter how much it is going to prevent or cure cancer. the issue is there are lots of antioxidants and good things in good foods but the issue is how much do you have to consume and how often. one thing is when we look at broccoli, her question was for broccoli. three to five times a week at a minimum. and for tea it is three to five cups a day. you can't have a sprig of broccoli and think you're reducing your risk. a very diet of all nutrients will help. don't eat nutrients, just eat foods. but do you have any foods that say i think they help my skin and hair? >> i like beets. >> spinach. >> those are actually two super foods really that do a lot of things. avocado. lots of color. these all work for you. but do you practice variety in what you eat? >> brussels sprouts on occasion.

>> only ones that have truffle oil that are really delicious. have you tried those? so good. >> pigs love truffles. that's how they fight. i love truffle oil, you know i do. >> next question from kimberly in angola, new york. does the amount of fat you eat matter as long as you stay within your calorie range? >> main thing is no matter what you eat, if it is too many calories, you'll gain weight. confusing part about fat is all fat has the same calories, whether it is heart health or artery clogging fat. if you eat some butter, it is not more calories than if you eat avocado or nuts. people may say i had two handfuls for nuts as a snack. 500 calories later and people wonder why they gained weight. what do you think about fat? do you count fat grams when you try to control your weight? >> i eat a lot of fat. >> but you work out like a crazy women. >> but i eat sweets and fat. >> what about you? do you monitor? >> i don't eat much.

it's more -- i want to do this next one. nichelle from rancho cucamonga, california. i just love to say rancho cucamonga. >> should i be drinking milk? are dairy products good or bad for your health? >> like everything in nature, everybody's a little bit right. milk and dairy products are really great because they give you concentrated calcium and some protein. downside is everybody can't tolerate. in terms of having digestive upset or you don't like it, the important thing is to get calcium that you can get in other sources like deep leafy greens but the problem is they're not equal. a glass of milk's worth of calcium is three cups of broccoli or seven cups of arugula. so you do the math. what do you do to get your calcium? >> cassidy's got me addicted to the pink berry -- >> there's no calcium in that. >> it's yogurt.
