It’s Jimmy Groves, New York’s $168 Million Mega Man!
James “Jimmy” Groves was one of two winners of the recent $336 million Mega Millions lottery. He lives in the projects in Harlem and works as a laborer at Madison Square Garden. Not exactly a high paying job, Jimmy had just missed a credit card payment, which could explain why he was in a liquor store when he decided to try his luck at Mega Millions with the last dollar in his pocket. You can only imagine the excitement he felt when his numbers floated to the top of that Mega Millions bowl. Word is he hasn’t shown up for that MSG job ever since.
This week he turned in that ticket. Lottery officials will present him with the first of 26 installment checks in a few weeks. In the meantime, he’s been trying to hide out in the Bronx, but yesterday did return to the liquor store where he bought the ticket to celebrate. The drink of choice? Hennessey. Yes, if it’s not clear from the picture, Jimmy Groves is a black man. 😊
So what are you gonna do with all that money Jimmy?
“I’m not working anymore in my life! I won $168 million—it’s mine!”
I am happy that a local guy got lucky, but would really like to track and see where he is with that money in 5 – 10 years.
As a sign of things to come, this morning one of his neighbors was interviewed on 1010 WINS. They commented on how nice a person Jimmy is. That he was down on his luck and God decided to bless him with the winnings.
The catch? In a tone of neighborly entitlement the same person said, “Now he needs to spread the wealth.”
More money, more family and friends you never knew existed.
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
Good 4 Jimmy-nice 2 see a brotha win….now PLEEEZ get a good financial advisor to help you provide for your future.
And get the hell out of the Bronx. Quickly.
Jimmy better watch his back and stop running running around town, telling people about all the money he won. Many people have been killed for less.
The Bronx aint dat bad! But if he know like i know….he’d get tha f**k out immediately!! If I were him I don’t even think that I’d pack…I’d just walk away and leave every thing right where the f**k it’s at.
Jimmy,
Congrats to you, LEAVE and go to a warmer climate, like an island!!!!
Jimmy, My friend with all those money in your pocket please be a real human.

So we all agree, right? Jimmy, you should get out immediately!
WHEN GOD BLESES YOU, SO SOME OF YOU MIGHT SAY, DONT FORGET TO BLESS THOSE IF ANY THAT DID HELP YOU ALONG THE WAY, ONE BLESSING SHARED EQUALS DOUBLE…...COMING AGAIN!
GOD BLESS JIMMY….IT WAS YOUR TURN…
Remember the poor by donating some of your money to a charity or homeless shelter. Take the rest and invest most of the money into a triple tax free investment and live free forever. As for your new friends, were they there when you was down and out?? Move on and enjoy your life. Don’t look back!!!! CONGRATS!!!
