    Mr. Christopher Shaw;

    Significantly wonderful to hear of a person winning what you have, the honest way because you sincerely deserve it. At age 48, I am a return college student in Business Administration and Pre-Law at Oral Roberts University. After spending 22 years in the funeral service profession in the Harrison, AR., Ava, MO., Dallas, TX., and Tulsa, OK., areas. After 31 full surgical operations is why I am re-training myself due to the heavy lifting factor due to the funeral career. What I want to stress, please be the way you always have been; the people I have worked around in the past that has inherited large amounts of money; simply forget where they came from or how they got there- eventually most of them hit ground zero, and are common laborers again.
    Please get established with a good reputable lawyer, CPA, minister, and a well known and trusted stock-broker. The goal is to make more money, because the Salvation Army and Share-n-cares could appreciate certain donations, for a write off on certain incomes.

    Most lottery winner go bankrupt in less than 5 years. Lots and lots of people are going to be looking to him for money not to mention the gold diggers.
    If I was him I would change my name, move to Canada, and tell no one that I am swimming in money. 😛

    Hey glad to see a person who really needs the money win. Hopefully he doesn’t owe on back child support on the kids that he has with the 2 mothers. Plus with all the money that he has now, he can go get his teeth fixed & get himself made over. Then once he’s done that, then move to a new city & change his name.

    Hi Chris,
    🙂 If you have looked on here and are reading this. CONGRATS…I am so happy for you and I know that alot of other people in this world are happy for you too. The ones that left bad e-mails are just jealous. Yes, the Lord has blessed you and your family. See good things do happen to good people. Please be careful and don’t let (strangers or businesses)people talk you into giving them money. Trust me, we have a friend of the family who hit the lotto here in Florida and he gave alot away to (so called friends). It is good to give to your church. I’m sure you’ll give some to family and friends (but think it over real good first and pray about how much they need help with) Maybe you can have a Bar B-Q or Fish Fry. Anyway, Have Fun at Disney World and catch a bunch of fish in your new boat. You deserve it. God Bless You. (p.s.) If anyone has left a bad message on here…Shame on you. If you don’t have something nice to say…Don’t say anything at all.

    Help us make a difference. I pray by the grace of God, almighty that one person that would and can help us with a dream I have been working hard with over the last year. God, placed on my heart last year to work hard and keep in prayer and by his Grace, he would reach someone to help me build a homeless hotel. I need a someone to help us raise donations to open this hotel and start Out-Reach Center through out the USA. Please search your heart. My web site is Hislovestreetministries.com/
    (God bless you richly) Reverend Trey Noran.

    We keep seeing lottery winners, holding up their oversized checks, and, for a minute, wish we were them. I feel a bit sorry for them as well, wondering why in the heck they are required to parade publicly (in many states) to claim their prize. We’re the only country in the world who requires winners to do so. And, then tosses them out in the street. I still think the best thing possible is for winners to have a choice in the matter. If they want all of the publicity, they can choose it. But, why subject winners to all of that if they don’t want it? Why not let them keep private, and keep all of those bad people out there away from them and their innocent family members, etc.
