Mega Millions multi-state lottery to get harder to win in Oct.Reply
Screw MM and PB. Sure, when jackpots get over $100 mil I'll buy a ticket or two. Other than that, it's Ohio and Mich. Lottos. Live close enough to state line I can do both. Either jackpot, even at minimum, gets me to retirement. No Hawaii beach-front property, no fleet of new cars, no jet-set lifestyle. Just comfortable. And I can live with comfortable.

Missouri Powerball winners live modestly, give back to hometownReply
i'm all for people investing their hard earned money with a reputable investment firm or program in order to increast their net worth. i do believe there is an assortment of evil investment professionals who are out to get all they can from anyone who invests with them. not all but some. check out some on the web who are currently awaiting trial or have been convicted. i just don't see how these winners investing 130 million or so is going to be used to pay teachers, fire, and police etc. maybe

Four golfers score $30M Lotto Max winReply
You're right I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I know people who don't like golf too. Because I enjoy playing golf I get a good feeling when I play golf as well as when I see a pretty golf course. If you took your lady friend to a place as pretty as Augusta National or Hawaii, she'd appreciate the beauty of it all. It's love! All love. I guess I fall in love with beautiful things easily. Like her for instance:

Arkansas lottery bill nearly ready for reviewReply
Then Megamillions can up the starting jackpot amount to $20M to match Powerball, but I would hope they would keep the higher percentage cash value to annuitized jackpot ratio as I am not sure if you noticed when both Powerball and Megamillions were at the same $30M annuitized jackpot level, the cash value for Mega Millions was about $3M more than Powerball's cash value. That would make two states surrounding OK that sells the competing MegaMillions lottery which would aid Western Arkansas in al

Lottery winner buys spectacular wilderness areaReply
I'm sure you're right that most Americans would agree with you, but in general our grasp of science and geography is, um, not so good. Some parts of Canada are further south than some parts of Iowa, but it's not nearly as simple as how far north a place is. In a typical winter the coldest place in the lower 48 is often Old Forge, NY, which is a few hunded miles further south than northern Maine*, which is a couple of hundred miles further south than the North Dakota border with Canada.

Mega Millions lottery jackpot increased to $256 millionReply
I can see Federal Tax on lottery winnings, but state tax is nothing but double taxation and states that aren't run by criminal cartels don't tax winnings. For example, in MA the lottery states Approximately 50% of the amount of money wagered on each drawing goes into the prize pool. Let's say administrative costs are 10%, that means the state is making a 40 cent profit off each ticket, winning and losing. Then on top of their 40% profit on each dollar, they charge winners a 5.3% tax. Disgustin

Mass. Lottery dispute takes bizarre turnReply
I would hold out a while longer and see if the family drops the lawsuit now that the guy is dead, and if they persisted I would offer the kid $50k to settle and try to enjoy my last few years, no matter how right and righteous I felt. But if the old guy prefers to stew with his lawyer in the Massachusetts winter instead of being free to walk the warm beaches of Hawaii or wherever else he always wanted to go, that's up to him. I say time is too short when you are 80, and sometimes when you are 49
