Since the government is giving everyone a Tax Rebate Check, I will be using it wisely. I will spend the money on everything American. when I travel,I will use an American airliner, I will play my state's lotto, I will buy American branded gasoline(Marathon in my city). I will put the money in the bank and let it grow interest.... etc

How about you guys?

Cool question! Our president's "proposal" will backfire just as the previous one did. I plan to save the entire check and I think so will many others who are stuck in our current economy. I will NOT go and spend it in the mall like they want. But I still have to play my regular lotto-I really plan/hope to win someday and change my life. I will play the same amount though, I can't afford extra. I MAY play a $5 scratch-off here and there that I like, but nothing crazy.

I need to read up on this tax rebate. I don't know anything about it and just figured it was for those people who have children abd that it was going to be $300.

I love doubles and remember, it's just a game!!!!!!

I will probably play a little extra on Mega or the NY Lottery unless I have already hit either one for millions!

Money won is twice as good as money earned!

This is what I found so far about it.

People who do not make enough to pay taxes but had at least $3,000 in earned income would get $300. Those earning less than that would be disqualified, as would the wealthiest. Older people living solely off Social Security checks would not get the rebate.

Individuals with adjusted gross incomes of more than $75,000 and couples with income exceeding $150,000 would get smaller checks. Contributions to individual retirement accounts, 401(k) retirement accounts and health savings accounts would not count toward the limits.

About three-quarters of those eligible for the checks are working people. About one-quarter would qualify solely through pension or interest income, such as retirees or people who are unemployed. Eligible people would get at least $300.

For middle-class people, the rebates are fairly straightforward. Most individuals would get a $600 rebate, couples would get $1,200, and those amounts would rise with the size of their families. High- and low-income people, however, would get only a partial benefit.

People with income less than $75,000 would get a rebate equal to the taxes they paid in 2007, up to $600. Couples with income less than $150,000 could get up to $1,200. Those who earned more than $3,000 but owed little or no taxes would get a flat $300, or $600 per couple.

So a low-income family of four — with $35,000 in income and virtually no tax liability — would get $1,200. That includes the flat $600 per couple and $300 for each child.

A single person earning minimum wage would receive the lower rebate, $300.

A single parent of two with income of $38,000 and a tax bill of $433 would get $1,033 — a $433 tax rebate plus $300 per child.

When ever Uncle "gives" like this, he always takes it back (and usually takes it back and then some) later.

I'm sure arrangements can be made to have it sent directly to the lottery of your choice and you can skip the formality of playing the tickets.

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.
