$800 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot surges on rolloverReply
The Cash value is based off of the amount of government bonds The Lottery would have to purchase in order to pay out the annuity amount. For the past several years those bonds paid little interests. Now they are paying over 4%. The difference is the amount of $ they earn in interests compounded over 20 years. Or something like that.

Major claim deadline approaching for Illinois lottery winner of $1.337 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
No, most people would take the lump sum. No one really knows what is going on inside their state government which is holding one's annunity. You look up one day and the money just might be gone. Most of us don't care about paying the taxes because at the end of the day, it is STILL more more that we are getting then we have ever had before. Take the lump sum...

Major claim deadline approaching for Illinois lottery winner of $1.337 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
I would always prefer the lump sum but I definitely would not trust a state like Illinois for the annual payments. It wasn't that long ago that they were giving you an IOU for any winnings over $600. And the state government there has been corrupt for a long, long time. They even have a saying there that all their Governors serve two terms, one in office and one in prison.

Winners of $63M Australian Powerball jackpot resolve court battle with man who claimed shareReply
I never participate in lottery pools because of potential problems like this. In Western Australia, the State Lottery, Lotterywest, is owned and run by the State Government. The other Australian States have sold off their lotteries. Lotterywest also has an excellent App, where people can participate in lottery draws. It is much more convenient than paper tickets.

Kentucky Lottery Instant Play jackpot winner celebrates by handing out moneyReply
Now you are talking. That's what I'm talking about. Lottery winnings should only be spent by the winner, however he/she sees fit. Not by a crooked attorney or a wasteful government.

One Illinois lottery ticket wins $1.337 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Exactly why I keep screaming that lottery winnings should never be taxed, ordinary income or not. Go to USAMEGA, pull up jackpot analysis for your state, and you get sick to your stomach. I prefer WINNER TAKE ALL. They can impact more ordinary lives with the win than the government.

I agree 1000000 percent. If people start to sue the government for negligence in allowing these type of war guns to be available to citizens then maybe they will wake up. It's sad..really sad

1. Plant a John Wick garden in your basement. Plant plenty of gold, silver, diamonds, coins, cash. No credit cards, debit cards, bitcoin, or electronic finance crap. You don't want anything in your garden that can be wiped out by a crash, taken by scammers or a failing company. No art. That's only good when people have money to invest. If the economy craps out, people will choose to eat over owning Picasso or Van Gogh (and art tends to burn easily). Tell no one about your stash. 2. Know th

!st President George Washington Birthday Celebration :-)Reply
GW's farewell actual speech and readable version below n 1796, as his second term in office drew to a close, President George Washington chose not to seek re-election. Mindful of the precedent his conduct set for future presidents, Washington feared that if he were to die while in office, Americans would view the presidency as a lifetime appointment. Instead, he decided to step down from power, providing the standard of a two-term limit that would eventually be enshrined in t
