Father buys winning $1 million lottery ticket while wife waits in hospital with newbornReply
Oh and the best part about this story, unlike in the free and great USA, he's getting the exact amount. No taxes and no falsely advertised prize. What he won is what he gets, as it should be and is in pretty much every country on earth.

Wow. You are greedy. $2 million even before taxes is life changing for people. If it isn't, they didn't need the money anyway.

One Michigan lottery ticket wins $842.4 million Powerball jackpotReply
Blame the public. The United States is the only nation on earth that taxes lottery winners and lets Lotteries advertise a false amount of prize (loophole being lump sum cash vs amount) but people are sooo convinced they live in the greatest free country in the universe they can't even see when they are being screwed.

Spain's El Gordo dishes out €2.6 billion in annual Christmas lotteryReply
I like the x200 top prize amount. What's the payout percentage? The State of Spain wins from the taxes, even with 100% payout.

Maryland man wins $57,777 after dreaming of father gifting him a lottery ticketReply
So after taxes he got about 39,000.00. Ok, not bad but not life changing for sure. Prizes for this 5.00 scratch ticket seem a little low to me. Wonder how many they distributed. Don't quite get the #7 reference though as being very significant. He has been playing these for years so he is at least even now.

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.

Thanks for posting this...somehow this page eluded me. If this clown keeps waving attention flags maybe the nearby IRS will look into his taxes (seriously doubt that).

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.
