One ticket sold in Maine wins $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Technically speaking the ticket isn't official to it's signed right? The ticket is official the moment the central computer authorizes it and lets the terminal print it. It's not definitely a winning ticket until the lottery validates it and declares it a winner. Signing it has nothing to do with either of those things.

Biggest reason for Lottery Winners going broke soon? :/Reply
LF...... For the PB and the MM Lottery winnings of $600.01 and over are subject to Federal Withholding tax.

You then receive a W-2G form with each check to

New Jersey Lottery to offer fixed Pick 3 and Pick 4 prize amountsReply
Not sure why you say so. Today, sometimes players win more than $500 for a pick 3 straight bet, sometimes less than $500. But when more people win, they make less than $500, When less people win, they make more than $500.

Tomorrow the State will pay the same on average (still 50%), and everybody will get $500. When popular combinations will be drawn, the State will

What would you do with the money? $135,000 isn't so life changing, especially after Uncle Sam takes his share. That's a question a few folks in my family have asked me, and I realized something when they said it, and that's that they're right to a certain extent. Depending upon one's financial situation, it could be very life changing.

It is Bleu dog; my first rescue, that was his name. A Jack Russell/Blue heeler. He already had that name. I miss him terribly. After taxes she would get the whole thing, what ever that is.
