Bought some tickets today and had an interesting thing... Here in Texas you have to choose whether you want cash or annuity at purchase. Cash always for me. Anyway, this is what tickets look like normally: 
Just before that, at a different location, my ticket printed like this: 
We also have to make the choice at purchase, easy decision, cash, always. Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds -- Charles Mackay LL.D. | | |

Our beloved Government will burn through that amount in 20 minutes. Jesus first called them hypocrites, and then asked one of them to produce a Roman coin that would be suitable for paying Caesar's tax. One of them showed him a Roman coin, and he asked them whose name and inscription were on it. They answered, "Caesar's," and he responded:"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's". | | |

md United States Member #14047 April 20, 2005 616 Posts Offline | Hi Todd- You do an outstanding job running this site. Especially in times like these. So, I dont want anyone to go over the stupid mountain, and think Im criticizing you. But there is a typo in the article. See quote below:"In the meantime, lottery players dreaming about what $640 million means to them after taxes have been withheld can check USA Mega's Jackpot Analysis page, which provides the information for each individual state. Keep up the great work. | | |
