$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner FridayReply
I was armed with 15 lines - phew. I got one number on four different lines and two numbers on one line. 10 lines had zero match. Did not match the mega ball on any. No trip to the gas station to collect small winnings . But guess what? Will be in for the Tuesday drawing. Will do 10 lines with multiplier for $30. After this crazy run I will go back to my $3 ticket for every drawing.

$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
Got ambitious and had seven tickets from different stores while in a road trip over the weekend. I matched 4 lines, single digits on each and did not match the MB on any - so I won zero $ meh Well, I got one ticket with powerplay for today's PB. Will get 5 tickets for the Friday MM draw. After I win the jackpot or whoever wins, I will go back to one ticket with multiplier till we get this high again. Still thinking on what strategy to use, not that it matters, but is just part o

$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
That is so so true. I am 100% with you on this. The Texas player that added the multiplier won 4M in yesterday's draw. Texas does not tax the lottery so that's just federal tax at the max rate of 37% The winner will take home $2,520,000 after tax. Put the winning in a 12 month T.bills at 5.4% PA and you get $136,080. Assume the winner is single and that's the only income, so they will fall in the 24% tax bracket for 2023. That leaves them with $103,420.8 after taxes a
