Bryann, born Brian Chukwuemeka Chijioke, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and reality TV star who gained national fame as a housemate on Big Brother Naija Season 7 (Level Up). Known for his vibrant personality and musical talent, Bryann has steadily built a name for himself in the entertainment industry since launching his music career in 2019.
Bryann was born in August 1998 and hails from Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. He comes from a close-knit family of four, including his parents and younger sister. Although his parents are divorced, Bryann remains particularly close to his mother.
He spent his early years in Nigeria and later attended Babcock University, where he studied Computer Engineering. Despite his academic focus, Bryann had a strong interest in music, dance, and acting from a young age.
Bryann began experimenting with music during his school years, performing at events and creating songs for fun. In 2019, he officially launched his music career and released his first single “Longe” on February 26th, produced by Spaxclassic.
Later that year, he followed up with the track “Andale”, which formed part of his extended playlist (EP). He also gained international attention after performing at the Tropico music festival in Mexico.
In December 2021, before joining BBNaija, he dropped another project titled “Ileke”, which showcased his growth as an artist. Bryann cites musical icons like Wande Coal, Vybz Kartel, and Angelique Kidjo as his key influences.
Bryann entered Big Brother Naija Season 7 as a housemate in 2022, with the aim of building exposure for his music and expanding his social network. Describing himself as an “extravert” (a blend of introvert and extrovert), Bryann noted that he has both high-energy bursts and laid-back days.
He quickly became a fan favorite for his laid-back charisma, unique fashion sense, and passion for music. While in the house, he showcased his creative talents, often using music as a means of expression.
Though some housemates occasionally found his chronic lateness and forgetfulness annoying, his authenticity and talent stood out.
Bryann is passionate about creating and performing music. When he’s not in the studio, he enjoys dancing, acting, and interacting with fans. Despite his fame, he remains humble and dedicated to refining his craft.
As of 2025, Bryann’s net worth is estimated at $200,000. His income stems from music sales, live performances, BBNaija endorsement deals, and brand partnerships. His appearance on the Big Brother show significantly elevated his public profile and earning potential.

WELLFLEET — Andrew Earl’s dream is to open a gym and restaurant named after his mother in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala. Outside the Cumberland Farms gas station in Wellfleet, Earl said that winning the Massachusetts lottery could finance that dream, which is why he buys scratch tickets here almost every day.
So far, Earl said, he’s won prizes of $1,000, $500, and $250. “That’s what keeps you going,” he said with a smile. “It’s addictive.”
Earl is one of many daily lottery players on the Outer Cape. In visits to five convenience stores here that sell tickets, every clerk reported that the state lottery was a top seller and that they knew their regular bettors’ habits, including their game preferences and play schedule.
“I definitely think people are addicted,” said Shauna Smith, who works at the Wellfleet Mobil station. Smith said the only product that outsells lottery tickets is cigarettes.
“We don’t have enough hands to sell that thing,” said Angella Weddas, the manager at Cumberland Farms in Wellfleet. She estimates that 150 to 300 people come in every day to buy lottery tickets. “When people win at the stores, they think it’s a lucky store,” she said.
But even when someone does get supremely lucky, it doesn’t mean they stop playing. Barbara, who lives in Eastham but declined to give her last name, said that she purchased a $1 million ticket at the Cumberland Farms in Orleans two years ago. On Saturday, she was there to buy a $20 scratch-off but acknowledged that her cosmic luck may have worn off. “I just like to gamble, I guess,” she said.
State-Owned Gambling
The Mass. state lottery is the most successful in the world, according to Marlene Warner, CEO of the Mass. Council on Gambling and Health. Mass. residents spent more per capita on the lottery than in any other state — an average of $1,037 per year per adult, according to GBH’s 2025 podcast series on the state lottery called “Scratch & Win.”
State taxes on gambling — including levies on the lottery, casinos, and sports betting — are the fourth largest source of state revenue, bringing in $1.5 billion in fiscal 2025. The state lottery accounts for 68 percent of that, according to Phineas Baxandall, director of policy and research at the nonprofit Mass. Budget and Policy Center and the author of a recent report on the subject.
That report also points out that problem gambling disproportionally affects lower-income and nonwhite players.
Nonetheless, the state is moving to further deregulate gambling and expand the state’s lotteries.
In 2022, the state legalized online sports betting. In February 2024, the state lottery started selling $50 scratch-off tickets.
The 2025 state budget authorized the creation of the iLottery, which will allow users to place bets on scratch tickets, Powerball, and other lotteries from their phones, according to Baxandall’s report. The iLottery is set to launch next summer.
Warner said the iLottery is meant to attract younger players and will be especially effective in places with fewer brick-and-mortar stores. It could “dramatically change the number of people gambling on the Cape and Islands,” she said.
The state’s lottery includes three main types of games: scratch-off tickets, Keno games where users pick their own set of lucky numbers and hope for matches from state draws, and low-odds, high-payout “lotto” games like Powerball or Mega Millions.
When the multi-state Powerball jackpot reached $1 billion in late August, Weddas said, there were crowds in her store and she nearly sold out of tickets.
The less-flashy scratch-off tickets generate by far the most sales of any lottery game — nearly $4 billion in 2024, according to state data.
Regular lottery play is also “the greatest predictor of someone having some type of gambling problem,” said Warner.
Lottery critics say that “gambling problems” are a deliberate outcome of the state’s choices.
“We have a system of taxation by exploitation, and the Massachusetts lottery is exhibit A in that system,” said Les Bernal, the national director of Stop Predatory Gambling, a nonprofit advocacy group based in Lawrence.
The state’s lottery is “unique in just how exploitative and manipulative it is — it’s one of the most extreme lotteries in the country,” said Bernal. “There’s a glaring contradiction between our creed and our practice when it comes to predatory gambling.”
Bernal estimates that Mass. residents will lose $15 billion in personal wealth to legalized sports gambling, casinos, and state lotteries over the next five years.
“It’s just a sterile transfer of wealth from thousands and thousands of people’s pockets into the pockets of some very wealthy people who run the games,” Bernal said.
In a statement to the Independent, Mass. Lottery spokesperson Rachel Guerra wrote: “For more than 50 years, the Lottery has operated in a regulated, transparent, and responsible manner, providing a source of entertainment for those of legal age who choose to play our games.”
Guerra also said that lottery revenues create a funding stream of unrestricted aid to the state’s 351 cities and towns and provide a revenue stream for local businesses.
Local Aid
The Outer Cape towns spend less on the lottery than the state average and have fewer lottery vendors, according to state data. The towns also receive less local aid from lottery revenue per capita than the state average.
Provincetown residents spent nearly $5 million on the lottery in 2024, according to state lottery reports, but the town received only $170,319 in Unrestricted General Government Aid in 2025, which is the avenue by which lottery profits are returned to municipalities.
That distribution is not a simple share of total sales in each town but instead is disbursed according to a “mildly economically progressive” formula, according to Baxandall’s report, in which low-income or low-property-wealth communities are more likely to receive aid. The role of property values in that formula means Outer Cape towns benefit less.
Because of the formula, Provincetown received 3 cents back for every $1 in lottery sales in fiscal 2023, according to figures reported by the Boston Globe in January.
Wellfleet received 5 cents per dollar, while Eastham received 4 cents. Truro, which has only one lottery vendor and the lowest lottery sales of the Outer Cape towns, received 49 cents back per $1 of lottery sales in the town, for a total of $34,851 in local aid.
New revenue from the phone-based iLottery will not go back to municipalities in the same way, Baxandall said. Instead, the money will support grant programs for early education.
Funding government programs through gambling receipts is “not my favorite policy,” said state Sen. Julian Cyr, but “it’s been a longstanding part of how we built our budget. This is something we’ve inherited.
“There is not much conversation about reform of the lottery” in the legislature right now, Cyr added. Instead, “there’s been a consistent push by the House to expand gaming.”

At Fisher Investments, we’re all about simplifying the complexities of the markets and investing into straightforward, practical insights.
Welcome to “Fisher Investments Explains”, a video series where we tackle commonly asked questions about markets, investing, retirement planning, and more—so you can feel more informed, confident and empowered in your financial decisions. In this episode, we’ll discuss whether cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are prudent choices for most long-term investors.
Is crypto suitable for long-term investors? Cryptocurrencies present unique attributes that can make them attractive and real challenges that can require careful consideration and risk management. Extreme volatility is one. Since 2017, Bitcoin, the oldest and most secure cryptocurrency, has experienced dramatically more 5% daily drops than stocks. While some embrace this volatility, most investors lack the discipline to avoid panic selling during major drawdowns. In investing, often we are our own worst enemies, and crypto’s volatility exacerbates that problem. Second, crypto has a much shorter track record than stocks, which have 100 plus years of data across recessions, wars and market crashes. Since Bitcoin began trading, we’ve only seen a couple global bear markets both shorter and shallower than average. Yet Bitcoin still fell well over 50% in each of them. A severe downturn like 1929 or the dot-com crash could test even the strongest of believers. Third are basic operational risks. The space has critical dangers, including exchange hacks, lost private keys and even fraud. Investing in crypto long-term requires careful management of those risks for even the chance of success. Now, with all that said, for investors willing and capable of managing those risks, cryptocurrencies offer interesting possibilities. They can serve as an alternative store of value in countries with unstable governments and banking systems, or enabling low-cost cross-border remittance payments, as well as providing access to decentralized finance and prediction markets, along with more. The bottom line: cryptocurrency may suit those who understand the risks, implement proper security measures and can withstand extreme volatility without jeopardizing long-term goals. Although for many investors today, traditional diversified portfolios remain the most prudent foundation for building wealth.
The world of investing can seem like a giant maze. Fisher Investments has developed several informational and educational guides tackling a variety of investing topics.
