$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
This guy had no idea what he wanna do with that money! looks like big money for wrong person! Why should an entrepreneur or inventor never win the lottery! Consider this scenario: someone who had a vision for few million dollars. Suddenly, they win 400 million, and they're clueless about what to do with it! On the other hand, entrepreneurs or inventors often struggle through numerous hurdles to secure just $10,000 in investment. With lottery winnings, they could potentially create

$1.33 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in OregonReply
This past week, I matched Zero on the Tuesday and Friday MM and matched Zero on the Monday, Wednesday and Saturday PB. But you know what, I am still in it. Will head out and buy my QP for PB - one line three draws and one line two draws for MM. As always adding the extra $1 - total ticket cost is $15 for the week. A 5.9M win after taxes is a life changing amount for me. Hitting 2nd prize would be life changing. Onward we go, one draw at a time.

$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
Will we hit $1bil by Friday night? Not a chance. That they haven't announced a bump after 2 full days of selling tickets makes me think the best we can hope for is perhaps 925, but with PB back near the basement there might be a bit more of a last minute rush by people thinking this is their last chance at a big jackpot for another couple of months. then relocate to a State that doesn't tax the lottery and you'll enjoy the next 29 payments state tax free. You can move to Mars if El

$1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot hits milestone for 3rd timeReply
Please someone help me understand - how would someone spend through the current PB jackpot and be broke after 7 years. In a state that does not tax the lottery - the take home amount is $325,621,045. If you invest this amount in the 12 month Treasury Bill at a 5% interest per annum (current rate is 5.34%) you'll make $16,281,052.25 before taxes. Take out maximum tax at 37% and you are left with $10,257,062 annually. Now that's a whooping $854,755 that you can spend every month wi

$1.3 billion Powerball winner revealed by Oregon Lottery as three people splitting jackpotReply
Sadly, 99.99 percent of lottery winners only prioritize their personal lives and families, and this becomes their primary challenge. When I play the lottery, I have me in mind. I don't play for the benefit of my neighbors or society at large. Once someone duly pays their due taxes, that's all they need to do for society - that's more than enough. They give 37% to society and more depending on the state. Honestly if that's not enought giving to society, I don't know what is. It's the

$1.4 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
A winner who chooses the cash option would receive a lump-sum $643.7 million more than a half-billion dollars in cash! -- more than a half-billion dollars in cash! Well yes, but not really. Not after Uncle Sam takes his 37% cut. The 24% withholding would knock it down to a hair over $489 million, so you wouldn't even see a check for half a billion and be able to have that much in the bank for an afternoon. Another $14.4 million would let you at least handle a (fake, giant) check for hal
