Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
We buy our tickets in California. There the second place prize can be as low as $250,000 and as high as $7 million. Big variance.

Forgetful Maryland man doubles Powerball Double Play lottery win to $1 millionReply
It's a good thing he didn't play that in California with their stupid pari-mutuel law. He would have to share the prize with himself.

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
* Multiple winners, like 2, California being one of them. It's disingenuous ridiculous to expect CA to pour millions into any jackpot then tell them they not invited to the party. What are people thinking, or should I say drinking!

Good idea. I wouldn't even have to live in California. I grew up in Nevada which doesn't have income tax, and Wyoming might be a pleasant place to live too.

I definitely don't agree with that take. California isn't the last place I'd want to win. It has zero state taxes on the prize, which compared to my home state would be an extra $90 million ! I would take the public notice for an extra $90M any day of the week. Then I'd move to a state with a much better government and live life to the full.

California is the last place anyone should want to win. They're going to blast your name all over the news and the media is going to report on everything you buy. Idaho will come after you for their taxes but you'll have bigger problems. You'll be asking for the looney bin before the year is up. They'll put your friend in jail.

But it would work if I snuck over to California to buy my ticket and found out I won. If I moved from Idaho to CA, got a CA driver's license and found someone to swear I was living with them in CA when I bought the ticket, I could possibly get away without paying 6% to Idaho.

$1.7 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
+ That's kinda tacky Dickeyboy. After all California contributes mightily to all jackpots you don't hear them complaining when they don't win the big one. Yet lots of folk don't want to see them in the winners circle, why is that? Quit hating on the 5th biggest economy on the planet., CA is extremely generous, be grateful in at least one respect.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
California has no state tax on winnings nitwit...... Your 70 right? And you still work? And I guarantee I pay more in taxes than you make Elmer Fudd.

Why do so many in CA win powerball?
In 2023 the 2 billion dollar jackpots were won in California, this year the last two jackpots out of 4 have been won in CA. Does anyone have the number tickets bought compared in other states? I'm assuming more people play in CA but also wondering how it compares to megamillions, MM sees to have jackpot winners in lots of different states, not as often in CA.
