$910 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot making another historic runReply
Well it's on the internet so it must be true! Ask that Jason Kurkland lottery lawyer guy, I bet he will tell you that you don't have to pay any taxes... I'd be stunned if I won the Michigan lottery and then moved to a state with no income tax and Michigan didn't want to tax the annuity payments paid by Michigan...that just does not make any sense...

$70 million Michigan Powerball winner says lottery winners should be able to remain anonymousReply
If you are going to quote a site then include the link or clearly name the site so that I can find it. I am from Michigan and have followed the laws so I know 100% that you can NOT remain anonymous on the Multistate games in Michigan I have also followed all the Michigan legislative attempts to make the Multistate games anonymous too. Be careful which sites you trust as you do not know who does the research for those and they are most certainly wrong in the case of Michigan. MICHIGAN

$1 million Mega Millions prize won in Iowa will expire in two weeksReply
Good for Iowa! Not only has Michigan lowered their payout percentage from 65% to 60% but Michigan has always pocketed unclaimed prizes for the state. I don't know how many states just pocket them for themselves but at least Iowa doesn't.
