* Take a picture with your phone,do a selfie with the ticket, heck take a video, then go to a CVS and use their equipment to print a nice color photo. Then you have zero concerns about a copy

CDanaT — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 13:36:47 GMT

kd.... I would check the lottery rules in CA as far as payouts are concerned. If you won $$ from PB or MM it may take longer than a state sponsored game like your Superlotto,Fantasy 5 or a scratch-off ticket.

You should not sign the ticket with your name if you can claim in your state with a trust. Search the New Hampshire news story on this issue. Make a copy of both sides of the ticket and sign with the name of your trust...it can be anything.

I am an attorney but still plan on consulting an attorney who handles trusts 24/7 and a financial planner and a cpa.

Raki...common sense is a wonderful tool to utilize, IF you have been exposed to the situation(s). What is common to someone with extreme wealth would not be common to the average person. A CPA is the professional that can give/get you answers about various accounting rules, regulations concerns.

Yeah, that is definitely frustrating when you buy all of those sets of numbers and they don't come close... It reminds you of how long those odds are. I think a lot of folks came to the same conclusion after the last drawing: It's just too hard to win, so why bother? That's the sentiment I've been hearing for the past couple of days, anyway.

Comment #114

Murgatroyd — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 02:21:32 GMT

My office did a little pool (under $100) when it hit a billion, but we didn't do it again for this drawing (we did roll the $4 we won into another couple of tickets, but that's all). I suspect a lot of groups did the same.

I can't help but wonder what would happen if she rolls tonight. Would everyone lose their minds, or would it even sell as many tickets as this drawing? A $600M bump is not minor league, but I honestly thought folks would mortgage their children to catch this jackpot! I figured it would hit $2B by now.

If a player wanted to throw enough money at it, he/she/it could just select all of the mega balls and let the machine QP the rest. At least then he/she/it would be guaranteed to win a prize

Comment #107

lowellm — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 01:08:09 GMT

I don't know what would slow it down like that, could be that the sales traffic slowed it down, I guess. I always figured the machine picked the numbers and sent them in to the mother ship after the fact, but it could be that the mother ship has to approve or confirm the set of numbers before the ticket can be printed.

Anymore I always just play QPs. Also, the numbers drawn lately have been really ugly. I cannot imagine anyone choosing a set of numbers that random, lol. I'm not judging anyone... [ More ]

Comment #106

Stack47 — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 00:56:17 GMT

A guy in front of me was buying 50 QPs $100 worth of.....................PB tickets. I chuckled, but the thing I noticed was how slow the terminal was. Maybe the terminals are programmed to work together. What else could cause one terminal to be so slowl?

I decided to play some self picks because if most of the ticket sales are QPs, not one QP has won a jackpot in the last 25 drawings. Self picks are the best way to go.

I'm not sure, the whole gift tax thing has always befuddled me. I don't understand the logic or fairness behind it, except that the Feds want their estate tax one way or another. I just don't understand why it is that if I earn money, pay my taxes on that money, then I wish to give it away: why am I being taxed again on it, why doesn't the recipient pay the tax? Or, worse, do I pay the gift tax and THEN the recipient has to pay income tax on it? My head would explode if that is the case.... [ More ]

What does that mean? You'll pay them to show up on your behalf and tell everyone your name, because maybe that will keep the lottery from posting your picture? Or do you plan to give a gift of over $900 million in the form of a winning ticket and expect that person to then give you a gift f over $900 million in cash?

Don't take offense Mike, but that is not the attorney they hired. They went with Joe Townsend, an idiot attorney from Memphis. The lottery lawyer you pointed out came out strongly against Joe's motives, even going so far as to say he endangered the lives of the Robinson family.

I am going to win the lottery!!!

Keep the mouth wired shut !!! ( I had it done years ago , so it's easy for me to keep shut ). Same as #1. If you invest the full amount , you would receive $100,000 a day . Same as #1,2, and 3 .

Jade, not sure where you saw that increase. MM home page still shows $904 Million Cash... Also went to the TX lottery site and that says $904.9 Million Cash.
