Do you know anyone that has won a big amount

I was walking and saw my friend Steven sitting on a rock with his girlfriend.

I said "hi whatcha doing?" , he said "nothing just played the lotto",

I said "good luck" ... well, ... he won 10 million in NY Lotto that night 

(it was early 1980's shared prize with another person. 20 million jackpot). 

Do ya think that was a powerful good luck wish?

Dang I'm good. Lmao!

RIP Henry T.

if i was you, i'd stand in front of a mirror and say it, everyday.

come to think of it i should do it myself.

Well I don't really know him, I know of him.This guy owns a crappy old bar (minors and rednecks,lol).He won lotto 3.2 million.He went on a trip ,bought a new car.Really didn't change his lifestyle much,still has crappy old bar.Then three years later he fricken wins again ,this time 18 million.This time he purchased a new home ,and went on more trips.But he still operates his crappy old bar.He never remodeled his bar either.He still dresses the same (hillbilly/back country red neck).The only thing thats really change about this guy is he gambles more and thinks his poop dosent stink.lol

Congrats mcginnin.....

i have to wonder, if he remodels the bar,will his customers go elsewhere ?

maybe they like it the way it is,why fix something thats not broke ?

BIGTIME!!! When I called the NH lottery commission to find out what 5 white balls were worth, I was flabbergasted! Didn't have a clue as to  how much this was worth at the time. I was thinking maybe $10K?

You are absolutely correct, because of the worst economic downturn in US history, the NH legislature temporarily voted to put in place a 10% "gambling tax" fee for all future lottery winnings in NH. Fortunately I missed that time window, which could have cost me an additional $20,000 in state tax.

Subsequently about a year ago, they did away with this greedy tax, when they realized how much revenue they were losing to border states that were not playing NH games anymore because of this ridiculous change in state tax rulings.   

That was "killed" about a year ago. This was probably a once in a lifetime tax assessment for NH, because of the unprecedented economic downturn

 in the last 4 years, which had severely affected the nation as well as the states economic performance.

NH still is a "Tax-Phobic State".

good for you and yours,this will never happen in jersey,

you hit before it was enacted (lucky)

now when you hit next time after "killed"

i'll call you very lucky.

jersey, the non tax-phobic state enacted the 10.8% retroactivily,

after there was a big winner here,can't recall details right now.

Belated congratulations to you!

So what'd you do with all the money? Invest? Buy a new car or two? I'm hoping to win a six-figure amount someday, either in Pick 5 or a 5+0 hit in Mega Millions

So your saying there is now a 10.8% retroactive lottery tax in Jersey?   

Sucks Big Time!!!

Paid off some bills, leased a new Mercedes GL450 for my business (100% tax write off!), threw some Benjamin's to family and friends. Lastly put the

remainder into a high interest CD account.

can't recall the details just now,

one big JP was won  around jan. 2009.

following june legislature passed a 10.8 % tax,

and the worst part,it was retroactive to jan.1st 2009.

akin to changeing the rules in the middle of the game.

not suprised you did't know it,sneaky S. O. B. s

passed the bill in the middle of the night,

Thanks dallascowboyfan.........hoping you score a big one soon!!!   

Mac,,,, did you use a QP or preselected numbers ?
