We do have a legitimate winner, Kansas Lottery Executive Director Dennis Wilson said.

No rumours No scandal. Just a plain old fashioned claim where the winner avoided the spotlight - PERFECT

About $14,000,000 in taxes is allot!

The annuitized amount is projected. Investing your cash is better! That annuity could disappear!

Don't ever trust the Government

Congratulations, Tara, on your BIG P.B. jackpot win! P.B. power to yet another U.S.A. east coast state resident women!

Isn't it interesting that the only Powerball jackpot wins (four) this year have ALL been purchased within east coast states in the good 'ole U.S.A.?

Since I don't reside anywhere near the east coast, I hope that a few P.B. jackpot winning tickets purchased in the Midwest, by Midwestern citizens (including me), win during the rest of this year.

As is typical, momzbabz1, this jackpot winner DIDN'T take the much larger annuitized amount. So, approximately 38% of the reduction had nothing to do with taxes, but rather 28 years of delayed annuity gains reduction.

I don't understand she won 70 million but is only getting 29 million ? I get it's still a lot of money but that's a lot that's going to taxes .

Is there something redeeming about you that we've missed?

Get the hell away from the East Coast, like you're supposed to do.

Like you're supposed to do ? Dare I ask what that's supposed to mean?

Snow and ice isn't so much an East Coast thing as a northern thing. Not a whole lot of snow and ice in Florida the last time I checked. But yes, by all means, move away from the snow and the ice... and instead end up with hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, stifling heat and humidity,... [ More ]

She won't stay working long. Unless she creates her own business. Funny how those who always win are the ones who are least prepared and don't expect it.

funny you should mention bewitched, in the show they lived in new rochelle,

which is where the winner named rice lives.

Funny thing that would be one bit of advice I would give to lottery winners who do go public: say that you already know your plans for your money...even if you don't know, I say lie. That should get a few people off your back.

is there something redeeming about the east coast - the history? All the family? To move some families would mean relocating 5 or 6 different households. That is alot of pulling up roots. And then is the question of where to take the 'mass exodus'. When you have multi-generations emeshed in the neighborhoods, kids coming up in the school systems with life-long friends; it gets - complicated.

AmoWin — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:12:55 GMT

What you do is point your car/truck west and go. Get the hell away from the East Coast, like you're supposed to do. With that kind of money, you can find a nice, far less congested neighborhood, in which to live.

A neighborhood, not subject to snow and ice.

I know I'd seek out a neighborhood, like the ones in 1960s tv sitcoms. Bewitched, Brady Bunch; Ideally Gilligan's Island. That's what I'd do.

But, having taken the annuity option, I don't know. Cash option: NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.... [ More ]

N.Y. woman claims $70 million Powerball jackpot

Lottery Post — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:57:22 GMT

Tara Ramirez doesn't know what she's going to do after claiming a $70 million Powerball jackpot.

But with an eight-figure nest egg, the Hartsdale woman can do just about anything she wants.

Ramirez, 37, was presented a ceremonial check for the top prize in the multi-state lottery game Thursday at Dairydel on South Central Avenue in the Hartsdale section of Greenburgh, New York. On Feb. 24, she visited the store and played the winning numbers: 6, 11, 42, 53, 54 and the Powerball number 7.... [ More ]
