No Winner in the Mega Millions

It's now at $970 Million Dollars

I think I have the combination

Dang i had my letter of resignation all ready to came with a tune by Jonny paycheck lol

When's the next drawing?

Powerball is up next.

Could only imagine what the winner would do, if both lotteries went past the $1 Billion mark for each one; and one person had the sole winning tickets for both lotteries.


Take the yearly payments or take the lump sum for each lottery ????

I would take the yearly payments -- That way me and my heirs would be guaranteed income for 30 years !

If you take the lump sum you lose about 40% off the top then the taxes.

So you 2 are saying you couldn't live off a taxable 600 million? I can see where it'd be tough eeking out a living on 20 million a year I'd be consulting a good income attorney on what to do. I'd probably take the lump sum, put it in a tax friendly country and invest. I'm sure if you stayed in the US it'd be redistributed.

I'd take the lump also and run. I wouldn't trust the establishment from confiscating the annual payments down the road soon.

The lottery is a tax for people who are bad at math.

I would also take the lump sum for those reasons. I would convert quite a few million over to precious metals also.

I agree 100% and I've used this line before myself. I have probably played the lottery 4 times in 50 years. Our office always goes in together when there is a big pot and I'm the only one that doesn't participate.

I'm going to pick up a ticket for the next round. I've wasted $2 on stupider things.

Wish I had a dollar for every time I have said that.

I've read somwhere that the yearly payments are not transferable to your Aries.

Lump sum...

Lump sum...buy more duck decoys.

Moosetrot

Hope springs eternal, if a 2 dollar ticket gives someone a day of hope and day dreams ide say it's money well spent.


Edit, I've never purchased one myself.

I've never thought of it that way. That's an interesting take on it!

Ol dad

One thing's for certain, my chances are as good as anyone else's, and someone's gonna win it eventually.

Yes when lottery officials determine its time to let someone win. It’s all computerized, I mean rigged.

True

It's not my place to judge how anyone spends their money but economists like to call it the "stupid" tax. Yes I do buy one once in awhile like one every two years, it's not illegal to be stupid lol.

When the Mafia ran the numbers game we threw them in jail. Now we call it mega millions and scratch offs taxing the poor and they don't even know it.

Thats how i see it . I buy a few once every few years and thoroughly enjoy strategizing how i would spend my money ,stuff like which buddies I would hire to buy land and manage it for me . I have several friends and family that I value their companionship enough they would never have to worry about anything again . I like eauipment and i like land and travel

When winning any of the lotteries it is divided up this way if you take the lump sum. First you are awarded 55% of the total. Then after taxes, you would clear about 35% of th eoriginal.

But win that this year and President Biden will take much more.

Fact! Not poking. Just a fact!

If I win there won’t be a President Biden.

If I won I would take care of my buddies that have always been there for me, but I wouldn't be making any new buddies for sure. You would have to make sure your buddies wouldn't have to work any more so they could hang out with you and you wouldn't be bored.

Looks legit to me!
