      <description><![CDATA[you run a pool with 100 players so you can all win 1 million apiece before taxes. seems like a lot of work to just get a bunch of extra losing tickets and worry about who didn't pay and collecting the money etc. pools are for fools especially when you have over 10 participants. problems will arise if somehow you hit it.]]></description>

I realize all combinations have an equal chance of coming out - but this combination (1, 4, 6, 11, 14 M30) looks more like a Birthday Calendar than anything else. Anyway - We'll know in about 30 minutes if anyone had this combo.]]></description>

The payments are taxed as ordinary income. The state making the payments can tax you. Your state of residence will tax you. But there tax reciprocity agreements in place between states so that you don't get double-taxed.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[That is correct...If the state you bought the ticket in has state income tax on lottery winnings, then you have to pay state AND federal income tax over the life of the annuity AND file a state income tax return federal income tax return each and every year of the annuity...That's why the cash option means you only pay the feds one time and the state one time for the tax year]]></description>
