Thanks, I bought five tickets for tonights drawing in WI and matched 3 numbers. Haven't done that in a long time. And plus since I bought the PowerPlay I got to multiply it by 3. $21 for $5...I made money....hahaBrad

Buying tickets in other states

I recently went on a trip from Michigan to Illinois. On the way I went through Wisconsin and of course the Powerball jackpot was over $100 million so I bought some tickets (and was able to play PowerPlay finally!!!) If I win over $600 do I have to pay taxes in both Wisconsin and Michigan? Does anyone know? Lets say I win the jackpot, that is a huge amount. I believe I only have to pay the money to the state I live in. (Michigan only has a 3.9% tax rate) Anyone know? Thanks!Brad
