Who could be that lucky winner? I hope it's me because if I hit the jackpot worth $131.5 million I will do a lot of things with that money. I put up a business , buy house and lot and part of it will go to my community. I wonder when it will happen, I hope soon

I read Mega Millions will change to 75 white balls and 15 gold balls on October 22nd. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/261291

Are you saying they will increase the price of MM tickets too

The cash option is 77.4 million - 25% federal taxes. No state taxes on lottery wins in PA. Way more then 46.8 million.

Congrats to the winner. I saw a video of the store owner Gary Patel and he was shocked and excited. Patel wants to use the $100,000 bonus to make sure his employees are happy and he wants to take a vacation and setup a college fund for his recently born twins.

After taxes, the winner would keep about 46.8 million dollars lump-sum or 36% of the annuity prize.

The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to immediately sign the back of the ticket and store it in a safe place

My hand would be shaking to much trying to sign that ticket. I would be scared I might mess it up. lol

Now MM has higher jackpot. Both in annuity and lump-sum for half of the ticket price.

maringoman — Sun, 23 Jun 2013 22:06:30 GMT

And they do not tax lottery winnings on the state level in PA. The winner, if they're from PA, will get to keep a few more millions hahaha I love that a lot! a few more millions. It is therapeutic to just say that.
