Such a lucky young lady with her second big win.

She's paying off her 3 daughters' student loans and she also won $1M in 2006.

Don't get how you assume she's a lucky YOUNG lady.

Lucky Yes, but young not sure bout that one.

Unfortunately as players we cannot dictate the payout percentages and taxes, so we just voluntarily play knowing all that.

I am glad that I live in a state that doesn't tax the lottery, so after uncle Sam takes his 37%, I get to keep the rest.

A payout of 82% is way better for the players than the comparatively low PB and MM payout percentages.

Congrats to the winner - a very Merry Christmas it will be .

Her three daughters are going to have a clean slate with no more student loans - that is a good way to go.

The tax on the amount will be almost half of the take home. 37% federal and 9% state tax final tax 46% , that's a whooping 7.4 M but she will have 8.7 M to enjoy.

Congratulations to the couple and family at large.

How about I buy some MM tickets with MP for tonight's drawing

Good luck to all out there.... [ More ]
