There is no indication that he was here unlawfully. I'm sure he would have traded the money just to have his father alive again, but it was quite a blessing for him, after tragedy.

This message goes out to the white American idiots who cannot speak spanish. Stop trashing hispanics for not being able to speak english. You have no idea how hard it is to learn it, but hey, atleast these hispanics try their best. I'd love to see you American hill billies try to learn spanish, i tell you that would make my day. And another thing, I am a hispanic and I am glad to be able to know both languages. Good luck to that lotto winner!
When my family came to this country nearly 10 years ago, if they did not know english they did not get jobs!!!
Why should Americans learn Spanish? We live in an English speaking country. If I as to move to a Spanish speaking country I would certainly learn the language or I would not expect to be able to live there. Unlike the majority of people who come here speaking spanish. They expect to continue to live and work as if they were back in their native country with no need to learn english. This is why most people have a problem.
I am married to a hispanic woman and there are older members of her family who have lived in this country for 30 years and have never learned english. I think this is disgraceful. You come here for a better life, which you achieve, but yet feel no need to learn the language.
By the way, my wife speaks both languages and HATES it when people speak spanish first to her. We walked right out a store in Miami when that happened.

Excuse me, I am a White American Idiot who doesn't speak spanish. I don't "trash" anyone but I do expect people that come to this country to learn the language AND abide by our laws. My ancestors did it why can't you? We are NOT going to print signs in spanish. Get over it. Be an asset to this country and you're welcome to stay. Be a drain on this country and you're welcome to leave. If Cuba is so great then why did you leave in the first place. If America is you're home then treat it as such. And as for being a hill billy have you been to east Miami lately? Homes with corragated metal for siding and actual chickens running wild in the streets. It's a 3rd world country!!! but ah yes "America been very very good to me".

I can't believe how mean and ignorant people are. The fact that they use the term "Senorita Suerte", doesn't necessarily mean that they do not speak or understand English. Sedanos is a Latin grocery store and most people speak their native language. I personally speak Spanish whenever I go there and it doesn't mean that I am either in welfare or unable to speak English. The other issue is that there is no such thing as an illegal Cuban, as soon as they touch US land, they are protected by special laws. I am glad that somebody in need won the money. Hope he can manage his fortune wisely. And to all the people who are trashing this person, you can insult the guy as much as you want out of envy, but in the end, he is the one who got the millions.

I was born in this country and if I up and moved to France, I would learn to speak French. I would not expect the French people to learn English because of me. Everyone living in the USA should speak English. In order to communicate you have to speak the same language. English only PLEASE

I am hoping that the wetfoot/dryfoot law is cancelled. The answer is not to import another countries problems to this one. Also, it is not fair to the other legal immigrants who want to be Americans in America and not Latinos in America.

Really Really should not have gone there with the SPEACIAL LAW statement. Now your going to hear it. And I will agree nobody from any country deserves this speacial treatment. Haitians have it just as bad if not worse than Cuba, at least Cuba had the Russia helping them in the recent past. You should not be proud of this law.
Disgraceful
