Some may spend $200k and not even win $10k.

The federal government takes 25% of the winnings, regardless of your skin color, and the state of North Carolina has no control over that.

Sounds like a lady with a plan.

If she graduates from a nursing school with no student debt, she will be well on her way to a secure future, unless she is foolish with her money.

Best wishes to her

Well, I can't speak for anybody else, but as for me, it's the look of discouragement. grin

I didn't realize those who play the lottery have a certain look. Do first time lottery winners who never played before have a certain look as well

I don't understand the comment about she doesn't even look like she plays all the time. What are you suppose to look like if you pay all the time? Is there a certain look you have when you play all the time

It's usually the first timers who hit it big and I seriously doubt she's lying because she doesn't even look like she plays all the time.

Anyway Congratulations.

For a NC resident you seem woefully unaware thats Govenor McCrory lowered our tax rate. Has nothing to so with who you are or what you are. We are all equal under the new tax rate.

I agree! I find it hard to believe when people win, they claim it was their first time playing. In recent years with the lottery jackpots escalating above $400m. Most people will at least spend $1 or do an office pool.

I'll have to spend 50k to get 100k, just my luck.

If you manage that, consider yourself lucky.

Most spend $200K to win $100K

No, they took it out based on the color of THEIR skin....red...with horns on their heads...

They took out the 5.8% N.Carolina state tax and the 25% Federal tax. Depending upon her other income and deductions, she may get some of that back or she may have to pay more the next time she files. I'm guessing she'll get a hefty refund, good for her.
