Eric Robinson and Sylvester Wounuah  gambled with Winners Inc in LAC, Grand Bassa County and won; each receiving $1,116,180, making it the largest cash ever won from a 30 LD bet, since Winners Inc started operating in 2010.  “I’m very happy for them because the more we have people winning like this, the more customers we have. At winners Inc, if you win any amount we pay everything in full” Mr. Batshon told a team of reporters Tuesday.
 Eric Robinson originally placed the ticket betting against Liverpool, Derby County, Zenit St. Petersburg, Sparta Moscow and Austria Vienna for 30 Liberian dollars which accumulated up to LD$ 1,116, 180.  Robinson then encouraged his friend Sylvester Wounuah, to take the same ticket which he did without hesitation, making them millionaires.
The two lucky winners, who are all employees of the Liberia Agriculture Company, could not hide their joy when speaking to the media as they were all beaming with smiles.
They both thanked the government of Liberia for creating the environment where a company such as Winners Inc. has been carrying out what they called ‘life-changing’ opportunities for Liberians.
The two lucky winners were very thankful to God for the millstone and pray for direction on how to spend their money wisely.


                                                                           

“It is our hope that in the next few years you can be employers and properties owners when you spend this money wisely. This is our focus. Even though we are in business, our main hope is that you get empowered through sports betting” said Mr. Randall Kaybee Winners Inc Marketing Manager, when presenting the cash at the customer center on Broad Street.

The historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continued midday Tuesday, as the leaders satisfied their appetites while holding negotiations with a contingent of advisers over a working lunch. The lunch, which followed a 45-minute one-on-one meeting between the leaders earlier in the morning and bilateral discussion with senior aides, was held at the Capella Hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island. It was far from an intimate affair, with each leader accompanied by a bevy of senior staff, according to the White House. Joining Trump were Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Chief of Staff John Kelly, National Security Advisor John Bolton, U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Deputy Assistant to the President for Asian Affairs Matthew Pottinger. Kim was accompanied by Kim Yong Chol , the former spy chief and one of North Korea’s chief negotiators, as well as Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, former

If Kylie Jenner ‘s stock-plummeting Snapchat rant didn’t make you delete the app, maybe this will. Over the weekend, Snapchat found itself in hot water after a now-deleted domestic violence meme featuring Rihanna and Chris Brown went viral. The meme, which was an advertisement for the app “Would You Rather,” asked users whether they would prefer to “slap Rihanna” or “punch Chris Brown.” Almost immediately, screenshots of the ad appeared on Twitter, with many criticizing Snapchat for making light of domestic violence. Is it just me, or is this ad that popped up on my Snapchat extremely tone deaf? Like what were they thinking with this? pic.twitter.com/7kP9RHcgNG — Royce Mann (@TheRoyceMann) March 12, 2018 Many considered the ad a mockery of Rihanna’s experience with domestic violence. In 2009, Brown was arrested and charged for physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna hours before she was to perform at the Grammy awards. Since the incident, Rihanna has spo
