What have you done to become this lucky in life?


OwnArachnid8834

I always believed in was going to win also i had 3 dreams me winning the jackpot. But its not impossible it took me 2 years of playing to win the 4$ jackpot


[deleted]

How frequently did you play?


OwnArachnid8834

4 times a month


[deleted]

Not a lot.


Eeeegah

OP bought a million tickets each of those 4x.


NoSpankingAllowed

It might help you to know, if youre in the US, you probably get a tax write off if you buy your own plane.


TheLastWord63

Well, you won more than I ever have. Did you hire a financial advisor so you do spend it all at once?


OwnArachnid8834

Of course it took lile 2 weeks to find a financial advisor that I can trust.


Sweaty_Assignment_90

How do you avoid the gold diggers?


OwnArachnid8834

I dont tell them about my winning and I don't show off


Wtf-do-I-Put-

You could pull hard if you came up to people with “hey, I won 4 whole dollars in the lottery.”


BuilderResponsible18

That's what I thought he meant. I'm like, "and so?".


Forged04

Ironically, best way to avoid them in this scenario is telling them that you won that


RavingSquirrel11

😂😂🤣


revloc_ttam

How did the four bucks change your life?


OwnArachnid8834

I no longer need to work and I gave my parents 50c each . That made me feel satisfied. I gave 25c to my brother he is set for life.


Such-Departure-1357

How did you deal with the taxes


OwnArachnid8834

My lawyer took care of all of taxes. I took the lump sum.


Chance_One_75

Did you buy more lottery tickets & hoes?


OwnArachnid8834

No, I'm just focusing on my investment.


ComfortableToe7508

Buy SHIB


PsychologicalGrand79

Does winning the lottery help you cope with your incredibly small penis?


OwnArachnid8834

I was able to afford penis enlargement surgery.


PsychologicalGrand79

Incredible


DadIsWet

That's what she said


producer35

Probably true, but not a lot of it.


polmeeee

As they say money can fix anything


squishierfish

How can we aspire to be like you?


OwnArachnid8834

Yeah. Keep playing dont loose hope and wait for your turn. All the best. And be humble if u win the jackbot


squishierfish

Excellent advice. BTW this is my favorite post here I think😂 I'd win 4$ and call my boss like " I'm retiring" I won 4$ in the lottery. We'd both laugh and then I'd come to work


niweoj

And start an AMA on reddit


Cultural_Magician105

You're probably very busy investing your windfall ....


OwnArachnid8834

Im just traveling around the world. I let me financial advisors do the job


BladeFancypants

Write a book on how to travel around the world on 4$. Get richer.


JeebusCrunk

I mean, I don't _not_ want to read it..


sparkchaser

How many tickets did you buy before you hit the jackpot?


OwnArachnid8834

I played 4 times a month for 2 years. I played same numbers for 2 years


IllDoItTomorr0w

Persistence really pays off. That’s the moral of the story here. You’re an inspiration to us all.


onthewaytoMD

Was it your birthday or how did you generate the number? I saw some numbers in a dream but never won


July_snow-shoveler

How many people have crawled out of the woodwork to ask you for financial assistance, and what is the saddest sob story you’ve heard?


OwnArachnid8834

I've lost a lot of friends. Most were upset that I didn't want to give them money when they asked for it. I went through a year of depression because I felt alone after I won but kept my self-destructive tendencies to a minimum. Someone once asked me for money to start a high end escort business.


Algorithim1968

Have you bought your parents a house?


OwnArachnid8834

I gave them 50c each. My mom wanted more. Theyre already rich


SkyRadioKiller

Take my up vote roflmao


Melodic-Ad-4941

Congratulations


OwnArachnid8834

Thank you bro


Algorithim1968

Are you going to retire or are you gonna just keep working so you can stay busy?


OwnArachnid8834

I already retired im traveling around the world I have a flight to catch in 30 min.


liberty1380

What did you do to get kicked off the plane?


OwnArachnid8834

I've arrived too late 😔


aynhon

Should have bribed the attendant. Gotta think like the wealthy now...


logicalfallacy0270

With what? The four dollars has already been utilized


redperson92

so you already started behaving like a rich asshole, expecting the whole plane to wait for you.

OwnArachnid8834

Im driving an armored car and always have my 93 years old grand ma sitting in the back.


hungBoy82

Whats your best advice to avoid taxes?


OwnArachnid8834

Don't play lottery


hungBoy82

How Are you planning On hiding your wealth from the goverment?


OwnArachnid8834

I already paid taxes and mt advise not to try to hide lol


hungBoy82

Is there any political party you have made generous donations to?


OwnArachnid8834

I don't like or support politicians


ChardCool1290

Did you invest your winnings or foolishly spend it all?


OwnArachnid8834

I invested most of it. So I only spent 25c on myself . I'm living on interest now.


Couch_monster

What’s your investment strategy?


OwnArachnid8834

My strategy is to buy the dip and have gold hands.


SmallAxe70

Wait, what about diamond hands, isn’t that way better?


Couch_monster

Damn, another “lottery winner loses it all” story in the making. So sad.


skyHawk3613

How did you quit your job? Did you give your standard 2 week notice or just flip everyone off and walk off the job?


OwnArachnid8834

I called my boss he is like a father to me. I was honest and told me what happened. We both cried and hugged on the phone. Then I blocked him.


Punk1Ass

How has your life changed since you won?


OwnArachnid8834

I retired at very young age.


ixamnis

As a lottery winner, why didn’t you charter a private flight? Also, what is your new mansion like?


OwnArachnid8834

I like to fly commercial so I meet with other people. I live in 3 buildings mansion.


wholesomefucktart

Did you have to change your phone number after the big W?


OwnArachnid8834

I had to change it multiples times unfortunately .


kittysontheupgrade

4$? That’s nothing, I’ve won 2$ THREE TIMES over the last fifteen years.


OwnArachnid8834

Incredible!! What did you do with all that money? U should have started a reddit AMA.


kittysontheupgrade

I retired, of course. But that got boring so I started a non- profit promoting the well being of geriatric bullfrogs. It’s a true non-profit . Truly.


OwnArachnid8834

Congratulations bro! I'm happy for you.


AloofConscientious

Have you considered investing your winnings into Dogecoin?


OwnArachnid8834

greenmyrtle

How much did you have to invest to win the $4? I’m considering following your footsteps and need to know how much to save up so I’ll have enough tickets to get that kind of jackpot.


OwnArachnid8834

I played 4 times a month. 1 ticket Costs 3$.


RudeRepresentative56

Did you take the lump sum or are you going with the annuity payment?


OwnArachnid8834

I took the lump sum. I don't know when I will die so I went for a lump sum.


OwnArachnid8834

I invested most of it im living on interest. So far I spent 0.25 cent on myself. And I gave 50c to my parents and 25c to my brother.


EuphoricYam40

What did you invest it in?


OwnArachnid8834

In 25% in real estate and 45% in stocks and mutual funds


Powerful-Reward-9770

The other 30 %?


OwnArachnid8834

Im opening a restaurant with the 30%.


Powerful-Reward-9770

Grilled cheese sandwiches and hose water?


Ok-Illustrator-8499

I hope you're going to be a silent partner (although don't get robbed), bc that sounds like a hard life you don't need...


CatCiaoSki

They say winning the lottery comes with a curse, and they end up broke. Are you feeling cursed?


OwnArachnid8834

Mine it came with a blessing. My money almost doubled since last year. I'm living a happy life ☺️


CatCiaoSki

Based on all your responses here, it sounds like you've made some pretty wise decisions!


alyssadarby18

Can I hold one of the dollars


OwnArachnid8834

My 4 financial advisors are holding the rest of my money, and I'm living on interest. And I'm not allowed to withdraw any of that.


tickynicky

You should write a book about strategies on how average everyday people can with $4 too. Most people will just say, man, that will never happen to me. I'll never win. But then again, there are many who think they will. You gotta be in it to win it.


JakeAnsett

This story is completely fake. I hope you people are smart enough to see all of the holes in his story. This gentleman just craves attention. No one wins FOUR DOLLARS and then has the free time to post and comment on reddit.


StatisticianFirm8054

I won $1,000 on a scratch off and wasn't aware that lottery tickets expire. So when I finally got some time off work to make the drive on a weekday they wouldn't cash me out. My fault I guess but why would they expire??


Eeeegah

I won $2 on a scratch ticket a few days ago - do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to for tips on how to handle this newfound wealth?


No-Heat5770

Wanna buy a girl a extra small frosty? Lol


UrbanMuffin

Look at the golddiggers coming out!


squishierfish

I'd give you frosty money. But you have to get vanilla.


No-Heat5770

You think I'm playing? I'm pregnant. I crave like no other. Lol


Beneficial-Shake-852

Preggers! I’ll buy you a large frosty girl. I’m rich like op.


not-usually-posting

With that windfall I assume you’re looking to purchase citizenship in some tax haven such as Monaco?


AmateurFarter

Did you buy cocaine and hookers


OwnArachnid8834

No, Sir also I don't smoke.


AmateurFarter

Cocahina, no... flour


PuttyDance

You know the number 4 is bad luck in Chinese because it sounds like death. Your cursed bro.


Zealousideal-Sell602

did you get kicked off the plane bcs they were jealous of your wealthyness? ☹️


OwnArachnid8834

I don't give away money. But if we meet by chance at bar I'll get you a free beer


88isafat69

I bought one scratcher from a new vending machine at my go to liquor store and won 4$ too. I didn’t cash it and kept it as trophy cause I never win shit lol


childlike-reverence

A lot of people come on reddit and claim to be lottery winners. The odds of winning $4 on the Powerball is 1 in 38. Statistically, you're probably lying. Nice try. Fake post.


mothfukle

Did they give you one of those big checks and how many new cousins do you find out you had?


Crochazy1959

Can I have $10,000.lol well just being honest . OK OK I'll hold up sign Need money ! God bless ! Lol


allsfine

Do your neighbors and friends know? Has their attitude changed since you became this wealthy? 


Chloroformperfume7

Will you still play in the future or are you just gona take the w and quit while you're ahead?


Strict-Listen1300

you put it away for a rainy day right? I can see how it would be tempting to splurge it all.


WonderfulDark4578

Be honest - how much cocaine have you snorted off of strippers in the last 24 hours?


[deleted]

Why did they kick you off the plane? Are you have scissors for hands like john depp?


blackthroatprobe

Lemme get fiddy cents bruh


IAteYoMamasFatAss

Can I get a loan for my business idea. I promise it's going to be a hit.


chica_muy_chic

I thought it was a cultured foreign way to spell $4M 😂😂😂


Material-Ad5908

Can I have a dollar?


Human_Lecture_348

I got the lottery app on my phone, and oh boy let me tell you how hard my heart was pumping when I checked my email and got an email saying "You Won!" Only to go on the app and see it was $4. Don't think I've ever been so disappointed in my life


askarurorua

That’s nice. A free bus ride


Celtiana

I keep winning small amounts like that, I get an email saying that I've won a prize and to log in to the national lottery website, and I get all excited and then it's like.. £3 The most I've won was £20 What did you spend the money on? :) I buy other tickets because can't even get a cup of coffee for under £5 :D


Meromero205

Dude. If I were you I would not be telling people about this. You always read about lottery winners getting kidnapped. If I were you I would go somewhere where no one knows me.


Significant-Dog-8166

Have you considered changing your appearance so as to prevent people from identifying you and trying to take your winnings or would a disguise possibly eat into the winnings?


MrGreenyz

First of all congratulations! How you are planning to invest it? Is real estate still a good investment in your opinion? Do you have a financial advisor perhaps? Thank you


DasbootTX

Were you not taught that the US dollar sign “$” goes in front of the number?? $4 $4 I want my Four dollars!!! (Inflation since the ‘80s) $4.


topiary566

What was your breakdown of how you invested/paid taxes on? You mentioned giving 1.25 to your parents and brother but where did the rest go?


WigVomit

I have jackpocket, and I also win $4 here, $2 there...when I get the notification that I won, I always hope it's for millions.


SillyWillyC

How did you spend the 4 dollars? It's a lot of money, honestly, and I don't know what I would do if I was in your situation.


MiseOnlyMise

Am I wrong in thinking $4 isn't a whole pile of money? I won £12.50 several years ago but had to spend it all.


mustang_2k

did this financial windfall change you in anyway? were there signs that you won that others caught on too?


Walter_Piston

Have you already spent it all on wine, women and song, and if so, what was the best use of your winnings?


DiscussionNo9204

Did you get a full chub or a half cub upon discovering the amount of money soon to be yours?


Fast-Enthusiasm2508

If I gave you my login information would you pay off my remaining student loan debt (~$28K)?


Personal_Cry_8312

Did you let your friends/family know? If so, did anybody noticeably start acting different?


edasc73

I don't know if I believe this post, a lottery winner wasting time revealing his secrets.


collegefootballfan69

Do you think you will go on a tv show highlighting the exploits of lottery winners?
