lotteryplaya
Winning a big lottery jackpot is my dream.
Rfg Chosen One said he was doing security that night for the event
A lot of people on twitter are claiming they were at the concert or working at it and most of the ones who say they worked claim the employer has not paid them. I don't know if they are refusing to pay or just taking longer because of the tragic situation. This guy in the video was on a long winning streak but he was recently wrong about a few sports championship winners and political election results.
Floyd Mayweather is fifty and zero
I wasn't expecting that left turn.

New details emerge about Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock and girlfriend Marilou Danley
As early as August 2013, Danley was already living with Paddock, according to public records. She was separated at that point but still married to another man, Geary Danley.
Geary and Marilou Danley were married in Las Vegas in 1990.
In 2002, Geary and Marilou Danley moved into a home in a brand-new development in Sparks, Nev. Like everyone else on the street, they bought the lot and had a home built on it, said John Heidenreich, her neighbor two doors down. He said the Danleys’ house was the first completed in the 15-home neighborhood. He recalled Danley as a friendly woman who showed up at neighborhood barbecues and other social events on the block.
Danley was working then as a high-limit hostess at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Nev.
“I guess she just liked that casino lifestyle,” Heidenreich said.
“They seemed like great people,” he said of the couple.
Heidenreich said he was surprised when the couple separated. Danley’s former stepdaughters, who now live in Arkansas, told local TV reporters that they separated in the spring of 2013, at which point Geary moved back to his native Arkansas.
According to court records, the couple filed for divorce on Feb. 25, 2015, and it was finalized the next day. During her divorce, Marilou Danley listed a downtown Reno apartment as her address, which was owned by Paddock.
Paddock met Danley while she was working at the Atlantis Casino, said his brother Eric Paddock.
Paddock was a frequent gambler at the casino where Danley once worked. He was such a regular that his entire family once took over the top floor at the casino’s expense, his brother said.
“They were adorable — big man, tiny woman. He loved her. He doted on her,” Eric said at his home in Florida. The two often gambled side by side, he said.
Employees at a Starbucks in Mesquite, Nev., however, described the couple’s relationship differently. A supervisor at the coffee shop told the Los Angeles Times that Paddock often berated Danley in public. The Starbucks is the only one in town and is inside the Virgin River Casino.
“It happened a lot,” Esperanza Mendoza, supervisor of the Starbucks, told the Times. He would verbally abuse her when Danley asked to use his casino card to buy food or other things inside the casino, Esperanza said.
“He would glare down at her and say — with a mean attitude — ‘You don’t need my casino card for this. I’m paying for your drink, just like I’m paying for you.’ Then she would softly say, ‘Okay’ and step back behind him. He was so rude to her in front of us.”
Danley has a daughter in Los Angeles and a grandchild, according to relatives and public records.
Her daughter, Sheila Darcey Linton, is an artist who lives in Los Angeles and is married to Micah Linton, scion of a wealthy business titan. Her father-in-law, Michael Linton, is the CEO of Promega, a biochemistry company.
The couple have one child together, according to a 2014 picture posted on Micah Linton’s Facebook account. And they live in an expensive home in Venice with a market value of roughly $2 million.
On Wednesday, the five-bedroom home had sheets tacked up across the windows, preventing anyone from seeing inside, including TV news vans camped out in front waiting for any sign of Danley or her daughter.
Danley’s daughter describes herself online as an artist and tech worker. In a biography posted on her personal website, she cites her mother’s strong influence on her.
She said she tried to be a “dutiful Asian daughter to make my mother proud” by pursuing a degree in computer science in college. She later switched her focus to fine arts, she said. “Fortunately, my mother, who was shocked and disappointed, didn’t disown or belittle my decision,” Linton wrote. “Instead, she stood by me and demanded the same excellence in this path as she did in the last. Her love never wavered. It was merely my perspective of her that changed.”
At one point, Danley worked for an airline company, said Elizabeth Tyree, a neighbor in Reno, where Danley and Paddock lived together in a retirement community. Danley later worked for Avon, the cosmetic sales company and tried to sell their products to other residents, Tyree said.
Paddock, 64, bought and sold several properties in recent years as a way of making money, according to relatives and property records. The couple traveled all the time, never staying at any of their homes in Reno and Mesquite, Nev., very long. Neighbors say the couple would disappeared for long stretches — sometimes for months at a time — during Paddock’s gambling trips to casinos.
In Mesquite, an hour’s drive from Las Vegas, the couple left mixed impressions among residents.
Many recalled seeing Paddock at a bar named Peggy Sue’s and Eureka Casino. They described him as silent, sullen — never talking to anyone.
He was a regular at the Virgin River, a smaller, dingy casino with card games and machines — from penny slots up to $1 machines.
In Reno, neighbors also described Paddock as standoffish but recalled Danley as extremely sweet and friendly. Next-door neighbor Tyree said Danley hugged her when she saw her.
This summer, Tyree saw Danley and Paddock moving a mattress and got a glimpse inside their garage, which was completely empty. Tyree asked Danley whether they were moving, and Danley said they had bought a new house but were not moving out of Reno.
Another neighbor, Susan Page, who moved next door to the couple this summer, said she had not seen them since August. Paddock had recently bought a new silver minivan, she said, and Danley drove an SUV. On the third week of August, Paddock left the house. Soon after, Page said, Danley packed up her car as well, as if she were moving away.
More details have also emerged on Paddock, the gunman.
A real estate broker who helped Paddock sell multiple properties in California more than a decade ago said the future gunman expressed dislike for taxes and the government — even selling off a series of buildings in California to move his money to the low-tax havens of Texas and Nevada.
But the agent, who asked not to be identified discussing Paddock, said Paddock did not appear to be political or ideological. A person familiar with the investigation into the massacre said these anti-government views alone did not explain why Paddock would head to a 32nd floor suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, break out the windows and open fire into a crowd of unsuspecting citizens.
The emerging portrait of Paddock suggests a man of considerable means who liked guns, gambling and women, but who so disliked interacting with people that he sought to avoid talking to them.
Property records show Paddock sold several low-end apartment buildings and commercial buildings in California in the 2000s before purchasing an apartment building in Texas and homes in retirement communities in Florida and Nevada. Between 2003 and 2004, Paddock sold at least three commercial properties in California for a total of more than $5 million.
Paddock would buy apartments, move into them to keep an eye on his investment, but “still would employ other people to talk to the tenants because he didn’t want to talk to the tenants,” the broker said.
The aversion to human interaction even extended into Paddock’s flying, said the broker, who, like Paddock, enjoyed piloting personal planes.
At the time of their acquaintance, Paddock had a sleek new aircraft — a Cirrus SR20. On the handful of flights they made together, Paddock would map out his path — steering away from controlled areas — just to avoid having to talk to the air traffic controllers, the broker said.
Paddock’s dislike for human contact, the real estate broker said, was in part why he preferred playing video poker, a type of gambling that does not require interaction with other players.
Paddock’s wardrobe did not bespeak of a man of wealth, said the broker. Paddock often went out unshaven, in sweat pants and flip-flops, even on his thrice-weekly excursions to casinos, where he ate at the buffet.
Paddock stored the Cirrus at a Mesquite Metro Airport hangar between 2007 and 2009, according airport workers. The airport staff had little recollection of him, said Lt. Brian Parrish of the Mesquite Police, “because he paid his bills on time and didn’t cause trouble.”
His flying hobby appeared to come to an end in 2010. Because of a medical restriction — he needed glasses for near vision — Paddock would have been required to renew a medical certificate to fly. But once his expired in 2010, he never tried to renew it, a Federal Aviation Administration official said.
From 1976 to 1985, Paddock worked federal government jobs: as a letter carrier for the Postal Service, an agent for the IRS and an auditor for U.S. government’s Defense Contract Audit Agency, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
Neighbors in several states where he owned homes in retirement communities described him as surly and unfriendly.
Relatives say the roots of Paddock’s loner lifestyle may have been planted July 28, 1960. On that day, when Paddock was 7, a neighbor from across the street took him swimming. The neighbor at the time told a local newspaper that she knew authorities were coming for his father, a bank robber, and she wanted to spare the boy the trauma of seeing his father hauled away by authorities.
As early as August 2013, Danley was already living with Paddock, according to public records. She was separated at that point but still married to another man, Geary Danley.
