Re: The Lottery
It shows the breakdown between cash option and annuity. As well as how much taxes are taken out for each, then you can school for each state.
I still think the cash option is kinda shitty. It should be around 65-70% of the total. Just my opinion on that.
And is it correct that say you did the annuity and died, it can't be passed on to beneficiaries?

I saved another dollar by not playing Fantasy Five last night. I think I'm up over $200 since I last played in March. Checking the numbers I would have maybe won $10 in that time frame. I used to play it religiously.

If any swiller wins the powerball and doesn't build a giant Sparty, fuck you to hell and back. Greedy selfish bastards..
Oh, and if I win, I'm giving those two kids from Michigan 1 million each to say that Harbaugh put them up to taunting MSU players. They'll take it.

Regardless, who cares with that kind of money.
Hell, I just want to be out of debt.

Not saying this to spike the football on you, but being debt-free is an awesome feeling. We got there a few months ago. Now we’re saving up to go back into debt.

What’s that gimmick? In my naïve mind, does it mean they double or tripple the pot? I mean wtf, is that possible

Re: The Lottery
Yes, for everything but the jackpot, I think. So if you get 5 numbers and not the pb, I think you can win more than a million.DWags wrote:tGreenWay wrote:

Pretty simple really, create a corporation, transfer the ownership of all your lottery tickets to said corporation, transfer all your debt to said corporation, have said corporation borrow based on "expected earnings" and have said corporation lend that borrowed money to you, or some variation on that...

Re: The Lottery
Well now that I've been reprimanded, I've decided to wait until the lottery hits $2 billion before I buy another ticket. Apparently I've been ruining my financial future by spending a couple of bucks every now and then; and for that I will soon be living in a van, under a bridge, down by the river (and I need to buy a new sports coat too)tGreenWay wrote:Wally Fairway wrote:

If you are the only person that wins, you’ll win a good chunk of change. But considering you only get half the jackpot amount- if there are other winning tickets you could get fucked real quick

How would anyone even buy every combination? Or maybe that is what is screwing up whichever state it is that couldn't transmit its numbers purchased on time.

I guess you’d probably have to spend a lot of time at a gas station.

You are correct, I should have read the article which goes into the details of how to do this.

Is it easy to win four bucks? I buy $50 worth of tickets for every Powerball drawing. When the numbers are drawn, I give the tickets to my friend Eddie and ask if they're winners. So far, I've struck out. I just want to know how unlucky that makes me.
