$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
I guess at this rate one would need three or four different financial advisors. The first one is going to advice you. The second one is going to verify the advice of the first one. The third will verify the advice of the first and second. And so on and so on Should I happen to win any major jackpot, I will go with the lump sum, give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and enjoy the left overs. The only major financial advise to lower your tax bill that I see is always to ta

$1 BILLION: Historic Powerball jackpot draw set for MondayReply
I might not have understood you right. Even though picking the cash option would give you perfect anonymity, if you win the lottery in Texas, your plan is to take the annuity since you're anxious about managing the after-tax lump sum. If only there were a team of people you could pay or have on retainer who's main profession is to manage their client's estate. /S Personally, I'd go with law firm Davis Polk Wardwell due to: Law Firm of the Year in 2021 Davis Polk War

$1.76 billion Powerball jackpot won by one ticket sold in CaliforniaReply
I see that many of us share similar strategies regarding the amt of tickets we purchase as it pertains to MM and PB. We buy our tickets ( 1 w/ pp or mp ) per every 100 mil based on the annuity but, that gets expensive and even embarrassing when the jackpot gets over say 500 mil I try to convince my fellow partners in crime ie family, to no avail, that we should base it on the cash value instead. If we only knew how much $$$ we've spent on that elusive jackpot dream we could have fin

$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
Oh well, here we go again. I invested 9$ in the last draw - 3 lines with MP. Did not match even a single digit But who are we to give up - never say never. So the next drawing the prize is ..... $ 1,549,999,991 plus my $9 = $1,550,000,000. You and me are all entitled to win because we put our $$$ into it. Never disqualify yourself. I have always been a Cash Option fan, but the Annuity is so tempting. At 40 years, if I consistently eat my fruits and vegetables - I

Major claim deadline approaching for Illinois lottery winner of $1.337 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
In Texas we have to choose when buying the ticket if using a playslip. At one time IRS rules required the selection to be made within 60 days, but IIRC failing to decide got you the cash so that it was all taxable th first year. Those rules have changed but apparently some states haven't caught up yet. Why are the taxes higher when taking the lump sum? Because not all of your annual income is taxed in the highest bracket. Just to make it really simple, the federal tax on the f
