  I would love to get a couple of tickets for this jackpot.

  If you had relatives in Canada you could get them to buy for you

  SO what is they get nailed for taxes at least they will still have some winnings to spend!

  That's right Sheba, who cares about taxes when the Pots get so big, eh? Same goes for Annuities vs Lump decisions, those are individual preferences anyway, but it's nice to know what the options are just in case ... that's why I posted the info. Now the trick is winning something in the first place!!

  Good Luck on Wednesday!! 

   

  Good Luck too You Too!

  The best way to play big jackpots like the record $40 million is to get as many people in a lottery pool to maximize the chances while not spending too much money yourself. Is any Canadian here interested in merging our lottery pools, or helping organize a big online pool?
  
  
  
  For example, while it would be silly to spend $168 on tickets yourself, a pool can buy one or more of the $168 9-number combinations/wheels.

  Exactly. I have a friend in Canada. However, not a forty million dollar friend! Humm, maybe just an acquaintance.

  We get it all in 1 lump sum. Which is nice. 40 Million is allot of Money and If I won, I think I would add my family names to the tickets as well.. I have 3 Sisters and 1 Brother plus my Parents..And also My Husband has 3 Brothers and 2 Sisters and his Mom. Plus my daughter... Total would be 14 People ....Count Me and Hubby separate..

   

  40 Million devide that by 14 people = 2.85 Million each.. Just enough not to be bothered by too many people looking for things...

  Recently, in Pennsylvania, a guy won a lot less then $3M, after they gave his name out, people lined up for miles for a shot at begging and pleading - most of them had a child there to increase the emotional impact. Parked a few blocks away were hundreds of shiney RV's; so they could drive the next winners house.

  Asume.......you may live in Newfoundland?????????????

  My first ancestor......"Sachmo Psykomo".......showed-up there in the early

  1800's but, could not find any lotteriessssss so Uncle Sachmo moved to

  Maine.......and on down the eastern seaboard in search of Quick-Pickssss.

  Does the 6/49 offer..............QP'sssssss.........if so, that may be a system!
