do you consider only the cash value when deciding to buy pb or mm or other jackpot game?

Don't forget that amount puts you in the highest tax bracket so final fed tax would be 37

Thanks. At this point it's all day to day. Got feeling back in the fingertips with some dead areas in the wrist and up the forearm. Can't say I wasn't warned. All in all the VA did the best with what they had to work with. Anything is a bonus when they say you might lose your arm.

I look at CV only due to age (living passed 120 isn't in my bucket list or on bingo card).

Stranger things and all that rot could thwart that plan though.

I usually look at both... Because code makes it easy... Not perfectly accurate but close enough...

29 June 2024

The current lotto prize amount is $1,300,000

A single lump sum payment is 50% of the estimated jackpot amount. The cash value is $650,000

The Lottery is required to withhold federal taxes of 24% and Mo State Taxes of 4% for U.S. citizens.

The Fed Tax amount is estimated as $156,000. The Mo State Tax amount is estimated as $26,000.

You would get an estimated $468... [ More ]

The only time I play Powerball or Mega Millions is when it is part of a group. It is the only way to overcome the huge odds of winning.

Therefore, with group play, the only value that matters is the cash value.

personally, i think it's a scam for jackpot games to advertise the top prize by its annuity value. winners always take the cash value, which is usually less than half of what the annuity is.
