Congrats to the winner! I hope he reconsiders splurging with that money or his early retirement dreams ain't gonna last that long.

Off Topic: How do I ignore a user on these forums? Thank you.

Sounds like he watches too much CNN or SNL.

I do wish he understood that almost everyone on LP worked hard for everything they have. But I and others never expected anything to be handed to them. If one expects entitlements all the time, this person will never move out of his parent's basement. I see the average millennial eat out 3 times a day and spend like millionaires, then they whine about having zero money and being more in debt. We have a young paralegal who must spend $250-300 a week... [ More ]

Oh, puh-leeze cease with the over-the-top hyperbole.

You have said multiple times that Obama and Hillary are conservatives. That tells me right there you have zero comprehension on politics and not much about reality.

I never have mentioned being a climate change denier; in fact, I honestly don't know any. No one with an oz. of critical thinking denies that the Earth's climate changes and has for millions of years. It's just that we refuse to accept that the science is settled in reg... [ More ]

Holy cow Mike, that child s response is scary. He sounds like he is a tranny with mental issues and rotten privilege attitude.

Kingofearth — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 20:56:17 GMT

Yep. The climate change denier must be isolated and medicated until it can be turned into a developed human being.

Why are you mentioning conservatives like Obama and Hillary? Unless you're confusing real conservatives with the inbred terrorists that want to murder all non-straight white christians

It's people like you that allow genocide to happen. It's your duty to control and isolate the inbred terrorists so that they can't launch their evil plans.

You've seen the inbred terrorists.... [ More ]

So, letting a guy go pee in a ladies bathroom is a basic human right ? People with a mental illness need to be treated, not encouraged, aided and abetted in their delusions. How many genders has your generation settled on now? 63? No wonder you're confused.

Derp, you're all over the place. You went from TG rights to mass genocide, to some sort of mini-rant about abortion and religion, then ended with climate change. You need to be coherent to make your point.

Toothless? As usual, you... [ More ]

Comment #25

Kingofearth — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 19:20:40 GMT

Well yeah. If we don't actively fight for basic human rights then the terrorist inbreds will commit mass genocide. The terrorists start by opposing the basic rights of the trans community, if unchecked they'll murder millions of babies because that's what Jesus wants . You've seen the toothless terrorist inbreds, or as we call them climate change deniers .

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Watch out for Round Two; Derp likes to pull facts out of a certain body orifice. Both it, and his facts stink.

mikeintexas — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 15:20:51 GMT

It's the latest fad of the Millennial's - bashing Boomers, along with wearing skinny jeans, a man bun and being hipsters. They'd rather be SJWs and whine about things such as whether .03% of the population, those with gender dysphoria, can use the bathroom of their choice than try to solve REAL problems of the world.

Hopefully they'll grow up someday...the sooner, the better.

What are you talking about? Chew on these Crybabies born between 45-85:

Steve Jobs: Born 1955, Bill Gates: Born 1955, Mark Zuck: Born 1984, Steve Wozniak: Born 1950, Steve Vai: Born 1960, Joe Satriani: Born 1956. - and the list goes on on.Are you saying they all losers Kingo

To the eternal pessimist...get a clue.

The guy will own his house. No mortgage. Smart guy.

He'll have plenty left.

Heck I can look at ten years of my income and it sure hasn't been 3 million worth.

Some of us DO know the value of a dollar and a dream .

His grands are blessed just by having him in their life. What a kind soul.

Of course I wouldn't include myself, like the majority of the world I'm Post- Eternal Crybaby.

Go name even one POSITIVE accomplishment that the Eternal Crybaby generation ever did. You can't.

Theo's Grandkids will soon learn about taxes. Theo must understand that the younger generation has multiple years to gain wealth while Theo has no more years left to work. He is retired. The winnings must last until his last days and beyond.

Comment #13

noise-gate — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 15:34:02 GMT

Wow, Theo starts off with $10 mil ends up with $3 mil plus change?

Reminds me of that Michael Jackson song..

Like a comet blazing cross the evening sky - gone too soon

Like a rainbow fading in the twinkle of an eye- gone too soon

Or he could put it all in a few Tax free Muni Bond funds and net around $165K per year.

Eternal Crybaby generation? So I suppose you would not include yourself. You can thank that eternal crybaby generation for your being.

He will be broke by his next birthday ...

Kingofearth — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 14:48:49 GMT

The eternal crybaby generation (Those born between 1945 and 1985) are not known for being prudent or rational. Of course he can be an exception, but odds are good he'll have $5 left in 5 years.

Kyle7824 — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 14:48:37 GMT

He is not giving any to Alvin or Simon

Comment #7

TheMeatman2005 — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 14:43:47 GMT

If he puts away $3 mil in a CD (no relation to CDanaT), he will net about $50 k / year after taxes.

Comment #6

CDanaT — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 14:23:44 GMT

While that 3.5 is a nice number, he better be putting 3 away to live comfortably.... Perhaps consider backing off spoiling the grandkids to the excessive side....

Congrats Theodore !!! Have a wonderful relaxing life

TheMeatman2005 — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 13:19:06 GMT

I checked on Zillow.com and a 3 bedroom house in Oxford, NC can be bought for $300k or less.

Plus, I don't think he will be giving each of his grandchildren a $200k gift.

If he is 52 now and plans to retire, he will need to be a little more prudent than squandering his money like you suggest.

He will have to have enough to last the rest of his life, without having to return to the working class.

keepitreal — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 12:29:20 GMT

He get a new house $500,000 cost. Then 12 grandkids. Like $200,000 each. There go all your money.

Comment #2

TheMeatman2005 — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 12:17:47 GMT

He decided to take the lump sum, not the annuity.

He received a check of 4,245,009 after required state and federal tax withholdings. And, he will owe more to the IRS next year when he files his income tax return.

Since they only withhold 24% federal taxes, he will most likely owe the 13% balance (less any charitable contributions).

The article states that I buy three or four [tickets] a week, Duncan said when he got the check. Those are $30 tickets x 3-4 each week. That's $90-$120 ever... [ More ]

10 million after tax like 8 million or 9 million. 12 grandkids and a new house will go by fast.

$10M North Carolina lottery winner plans to spoil 12 grandkids

Lottery Post — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 11:49:33 GMT

A North Carolina grandfather is planning to retire, purchase his dream house, and spoil his 12 grandkids after winning a $10 million lottery prize.

N.C. Education Lottery officials and media gathered at lottery headquarters in Raleigh on Thursday to celebrate the winner, Theodore Duncan. After being greeted by cheers and confetti, Duncan and his fianc e were handed a $10 million check.

I'm 52, and now that I've won this, I can finally stop working, said Duncan. I'm going to retire and get... [ More ]
