Step back everyone, this one is mine!  Cool

Sorry but you're too late. FEMA has placed lotto machines at every NYC street corner. All combos have been sold already. Theres still time for MM.

      and make your last check bounce.

    If one of my two tickets hits the jp, I am claiming it the very next day after the draw which is wayyy before the higher taxes on the wealthy kick in. 

    Bush era tax-cuts are expiring in Dec 31, 2012, no?

                In 2013, the top marginal tax rate will be 39.6% for someone making over $382,650. The tax rate you pay is set at the date you won. As long as you win in 2012, you will get the 2012 tax rate.

                  Weren't the really good tax rates for rich people who earned their money from investments?  Lottery winners are taxed at the higher rate as people who actually worked for their money.  I would talk to a tax lawyer to get some advice on the best ways of gaming the system.

                      Is'nt that what playing the lottery is about, getting a big pay check with as little work as possible?
