$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
I think we got so blinded by the billion dollar jackpots people think that 1M is loose change. For the second prize winners that live in a state that doesn't tax the lottery that's 630K after taxes. 630K won't necessarily buy you a mansion or a yatch, but 630K can leave someone debt free and a little towards retirement. 630K is not an amount to be frowned upon. That's my attitude towards the game.

$975 MILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot increases againReply
Like they say, you have to be in it to win it On that note, I got my one PB with PP and my one MM with the multiplier. Who said that 36M is not a significant amount. The around 10M after taxes is a lot of money - let's not pretend that our lives can only be changed by 100M I would still buy a ticket if the jackpots reset at 10M. Good luck to all.

Michigan woman finds out through Facebook that she won $1 million Powerball lottery prizeReply
Assuming no other income and using the head of household tax brackets (2024) Note that: my understanding is that second division Powerball payouts are the full cash amount and not an annuity) Federal tax = $326,493.40 State tax (6%) = $60.000 Total tax = $386,493.40 Or, cash in the hand after State and Federal taxes ($1,000,000 - $386,493.40 ) = $613,506.60

Massachusetts house cleaner finds $1 million winning lottery ticket, gives it to ownerReply
Aaww, such a sweet house cleaner. As always we do the math for the winners. State and Federal taxes = 46% So winner gets to keep 351K. I would give the cleaner 51K and be left with 300K. I like to deal with round figures.

Editorial: Study of lottery winners still receiving food stamps is flawed but raises good pointsReply
I really find it hard to believe someone who wins $2 Million Dollars still needs Food Stamps no matter the Taxes and any possible out standing debt the State can collect on your behalf. I thought that you had to summit Tax Records for 2 years plus 4 months of employment statements at least I did when I became disabled from a double stroke and still got turned down even thought I had not worked in 3 months and waiting on a check from Insurance just based on the documents I summited not where

$1.55 BILLION: Powerball continues historic jackpot climbReply
Well, well, well. I have my ticket ready. If I win tonight, I will wait till the first week of January 2024 to claim my winning. That way I will have 15 extra months to invest the additional taxes of $88,336,955 that will be due at tax filing time in very safe Treasury Bills. Am squeezing every penny out of the winnings.
