$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
You definitely have a valid argument especially on free tax advice however when someone puts their credentials CPA next to the article they have written, then it really is worrying if the article is not sound advice. My personal thoughts would be since the subject of TAX is factual and not based on perception or preference - we have tax brackets for single, married filing jointly or married filing separately, head of household etc - then someone penning an article on any TAX subject should b

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. It's almost always for other reasons, but people move to different states all the time. There's a waiting period before you can vote in your new state, but your tax stat

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. So today, by design, more people win less than $500 and less people with $more than $500.The State pays always 50%. 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

One Michigan lottery ticket wins $842.4 million Powerball jackpotReply
It's a double whammy with US State-only lottos. They have low payout percentages, at least with Powerball and Mega Millions. Then they have high taxes on the winners. Account for all the money going in from the players and out to the State, and you see how unjust US lottos are. That's what happens with all coerced monopolies, which is what all US State-only lottos are. You get ripped off with inferior coerced-monopoly products.
