I won the Lotto, and it was a wonderful experience. I know there are still a few hours left before a new lotto winner will be drawn, but as the first one I wanted to share my experience and show my utmost gratitude to all the donors so far. It was not requested that I disclose the amount received, but I could see many were curious. So, I received around $320 total dollars so far across Venmo, Cashapp, and PayPal. There were several who chose to donate far beyond the recommended amount and it truly brought the biggest smile to my heart, so I chose to take a percentage and donated to 3 local food banks, soup kitchens, and one needy family in small amounts to pay it forward. There were around 10 people in total, however, that I am not sure if they were confused about it and I certainly do not want to see like an ingrate, but rather to avoid any sort of further confusion feel the need to emphasize since it was so many people that seemed to misunderstand the minimum requirement for engagement in the lotto is a $2 donation and a few people sent in $1 donations. Like I said before this, many donated far beyond the engagement donation amount requirement, and so I don't feel any kind of upset over it myself but felt it best to be fully transparent as the first recipient so that any kinks could be worked out as we move forward to do this, very kind, and amazing gesture of community mutual aid for each other. I look forward to seeing who the next winner is, and will be glad to donate to them when the time comes as well. 💜🪻🖤
