Now, rapper and actor LL Cool J is weighing in:  And he’s on TEAM SELFIE . . . sort of.

Jelly Roll has found himself in a place where he can give back.  He says he WANTS to be a giver for a very good reason. “The Jelly before the music was a scumbag, I was a horrible, horrible human.  I was a less than desirable human. I think that’s why I have such a heart for service now, and to help people because I was such a “Taker” for so long.  That I wanted to be a giver for the rest of my life” Adding he just wants to continue to be a voice for voiceless people.

The store that sold the winning ticket, the Las Palmitas Mini Market, says, “I’m not sure why she did that. I guess she just wanted to be on TV. We don’t know who the winner is yet. They still haven’t come forward.’
