Over a year ago, 68 year old Jimmie Smith bought a lottery ticket to the New York Lottery. The winning numbers for the lottery were drawn for the May 25, 2016 lottery and they were: 5-12-13-22-25-35. This very ticket was worth an astounding $24.1 million. The New York Gaming Commission knew the winning ticket was bought at a bodega in New York City, but no one knew who bought it. In the lottery, winners get a whole year to redeem the prize. The deadline was approaching, so the New York Lottery began to give word to check everywhere to find the ticket. Smith, who is retired, saw a news story about the ticket, so he decided to check his old tickets. In an old shirt in his closet, he found the ticket in the shirts pocket. This was on May 23, 2017, two days before the deadline.
1. How would you have felt if you found the ticket?
I would feel more lucky than happy because it was two days before it was worth nothing. I don't think I would tell many people for a while either.
2. What would you do with all the money from the lottery?
If I would have won all that money, I would probably spread the wealth throughout my family and save the rest for my future.

If i found the ticket i would be so happy i would be the luckiest man on the world and it would bring joy to my heart. If i got the money i would invest in the stock market.
1. I would feel amazing because i had just made a lot of money.
2. Build a very nice house and just live to the best of my ability.
If I won this much money I would probably go and blow atleast a million dollars right away just for the heck of it and then I would start being more careful with it and putting it in saving and stuff after that.
If i found that ticket I would've been pretty happy then just go spend it on lit stuff. I would go on vacation every month and travel all around the world and learn about different cultures. I think that person is very lucky and anyone would be happy to win 24.1 million dollars.
I would feel very very lucky and would probablt go blow a million dollars right away because I mean why not. Its crazy that he almost missed out on 24 million dollars. Especially when that money could change his whole life.
I would have felt lucky that I was the one to find it and have it. I would go and get all bills payed off then go to a beach as fast as I could. I could do literaly anything and get anything I dont know where I would stare.
I would have packed my bags right then and there and i would have been on a plane to the beach that night. i would retire and move somewhere warm with a beach and travel a lot.
1. If I found this ticket I would be ecstatic because I just won a bunch of money. And I think that this man was very lucky, if he wouldn't have seen that article he wouldn't have been able to win that money. 2. If I had all that money I would half of it to charity and the rest would help me get into college and any other important needs.
Great job Darren!
I would be super excited and I would feel really lucky. I don't know. Everyone talks about what they would do with the money, but you never truly know what you'll do until you actually win the money.
