The sizzler option triples all non jackpot level prizes for the additional cost of $1. The record jackpot for this game was 19.2 million I believe won back in 2009 or 2010.

What is the Sizzler purchase?

It's when you buy a cheap steak loaded with so much chemical tenderizer you can spread it like peanut butter.

Congratulations to this jackpot winner. I wonder what the record jackpot in Hot Lotto History? What is the Sizzler purchase

I like that they will be advertising the after tax cash amount on JP winnings. Not sure I'm for the new number matrix. I like that it's currently a 5/39 + 1/19 game now. On the other hand the overall odds are only going from 1:16 to 1:17 which seems minimal for adding the extra white balls, also they didn't say if the cost per ticket will increase or not.

I don't think anyone has won a jackpot at that airport before. A BIG, exciting Florida Lotto win

Congrats to your friend on winning $16 million. Curious, you mentioned she won it a couple weeks ago. There hasn't been a $16 million lotto won in the past 8 months. She did play the Florida Lotto right

I'm happy for them. Couple of weeks ago, I have a friend that won $16 million and she got a lump sum $11 million. I knew her for a long time. And she's my co-worker tell u the truth. But anyway, I hope she invest her money wisely. Hey everyone have a chance to win, in order for that to happen, you have to play. That's the name of the game. Good luck guys.

Fun speculation math. However, gamblers should presume that it is only the state gambling/income tax % and the 1st of 2 federal gambling/income tax of 25% (recipient would end up having the high, additional apx. 14% donation deductions or federal gambling/income taxes to pay them self at a much later date, after receiving the funds into personal checking/investment account via electronic transfer).

Thus, you'd be netting essentially the same amount as most of our states' on-line lotteries tha... [ More ]

Good question, but I think after 25% fed tax would be close enough.

HoLeeKau — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 21:52:30 GMT

So, will the advertised jackpot be different in each state according to the state tax rate? Or are they just talking federal taxes

If it were a company I'm sure the government would have stepped in a long time ago and enacted some sort of truth in advertising law and put a stop to telling people they won TWICE what they actually won.

If that be the case..why ask? Just order the lottery commision not to do it. Winning the lottery there should give you that clout.

It's also a lot more realistic than these inflated annuity jackpots. If only PB and MM modified their payout the same way

Yes HoleeKau- but 4 million aint bad for playing a dollar or more.

Plus you guys have some of the finest potatoes on the planet: That has to count for something. 4 million baked potatoes? ..Yeah bring it on.

After paying taxes in my state, it would have been right around 4 mil or a little better. Life changing for me? Yes, I'd take a couple steps up in the world. Wealthy? No.

Congrats to them, and congrats on taking it slow in deciding what their future will look like with this windfall.

Congratulations tidy Hot Lotto Jackpot winners!

After receiving their jackpot win net amount of apx. $6.6M, in about 2 months, it will register that with 90% of this invested low-risk and medium-risk levels, a vigilantly financial balance aware young or older family of 4 could live very comfortably. Annual 2 weeks of summer family vacation trips, high-speed Internet, couple of big screen TVs w/full Internet browsing ability, a few Roku or blu ray boxes w/Netflix and Hulu+ aps subscriptions,

They said We like our jobs and I took that to mean that they are already happy with their lives and really didn't NEED a lottery win to make their lives BETTER. This is exactly the approach I will take when I win.

I agree, at least these folk are savvy enough to know that perhaps this total is not enough to retire on at present.Whatever their reasons, 9 million is not a shabby amount. Im waiting for my first million.

Congrats to them.

Advertising actual cash prize after taxes? I think I like the idea

A couple in their 40s from Kansas City, Kansas, say they both like their jobs and will continue to work, even though they are the winners of a $9.43 million Hot Lotto jackpot.
