Re: 252 Million dollars!!!!

Nobody won in Ca. or in the other 10 or 11 participating states, so the pot is now @ $325,000,000.00.  The estimated cash value or lump sum payout is $204,000,000.00 of which Uncle Sam takes about half. If you choose to be paid in a 26 year annuity you would collect more of the prize, but every year Uncle Sam gets his cut nonetheless. If you owe the state any back taxes, child support, etc. they take it up front as well. If any of you were ever lucky enough to win a lottery prize the smart thing to do is disconnect your phone and hire a reputable tax attorney asap. I've heard the odds of hitting the Mega Millions is almost twice the odds of the Ca. Super Lotto game, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning twice in the exact same spot. Rotsa Ruck you gamblin' fools!!!!!

Yeah fools it is JDawg.  I am the lone holdout for when they make a night crew "pool" for tickets when it has big pot.  I was taken advantage of last evening due to be on a sustained high from the last week and a half's worth of adventures with PRICELESS Joe Bonamasa fans and friends from far and near.  I tossed in a $5.00 spot from my blind spot.   BAH!

The PRICELESS awaits, those of you who malinger on the sidelines, get into our free cool pool and swim with the gentle (usually) current.  This applies to this forum as well as where the rubber meets the roadshow cool!!!

Re: 252 Million dollars!!!!

What!!!! The US government takes a cut! Here in the UK, it's tax free!... as it should be.

Good advice about taking  your phone off the hook. Change your mobile while your at it, and up sticks and move! smile
