I believe that you are correct. The winner could have spoken with a lawyer and he has been given wonderful advice on how to proceed.

The easy path is to turn in the ticket the next business day. This winner did not take the easy way.

The winner or winners need professional advice to keep the winnings for the rest of his/their life or life's.

I would think that a winner with the winning ticket could hire someone to help get a loan before claiming. If he needs it to pay for the servi... [ More ]

One thing I have noticed is this: Tesla was supposedly the smartest man who ever lived. He says all things run off of the number 3. The US government uses this number on most of their designs, and runway #'s and so on....So I started adding the lotto #'s together. Like if fantasy 5 was 4,5, 9, 16, and 23. If you start adding them together...first 4 and 5 are equal to 9. Then add the next 9, that makes 18. But then you're supposed to add those two #'s together because they are 10 or above...so 18...

None of this matters for what I was replying to. The person a few above me thought that the post was saying that the owner as mentioned was the jackpot winner but the owner was the 33k winner for being the store that sold the winning ticket.

Comment #88

KY Floyd — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 05:29:43 GMT

The bonus for selling a winning ticket goes to the business that sells the ticket. It's part of the business' taxable income, but the business can pass it on to employees, donate to charity, reinvest in the business, etc. Pretty much anything the business does with the money other than keeping it in the bank is deductible. As such, the business could give bonuses of much more than the 15k limit for gifts if the bonus was big enough. Any money paid out to employees would be taxable income, just l... [ More ]

paymentplan-man — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 21:29:26 GMT

A few things to bring to your awareness.

The owner only received a 33k check for printing the winning ticket so at a 15k gift before penalties max he should be ok Again the owner didn't win the jackpot he says he knows the winner as a regular. Recipients of cash gifts don't pay taxes I guess unless its under the clause of the inheritance tax which New Jersey does impose. But this isn't considered an inheritance. I love you

Comment #86

paymentplan-man — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 21:19:06 GMT

I did a quick search for the rules of anonymity for the state of New Jersey and found this.

Once signed, a ticket can not be altered. (Just like New Hampshire)

The New Jersey Lottery is compelled to release the name of the person or organization that filed the claim as well as the town and retailer where the ticket was sold.

The key word there is organization. The New Jersey Lottery does not directly address that definition on its website whether players who win prizes can form limited

paymentplan-man — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 21:14:51 GMT

Hey buddy you were close but you can actually gift 15k (as of 2018 yearly) to anyone you want before the difference is subtracted from your lifetime exemption of what is it now (checks Google) 5.6Million. Also the owner only won 33k for selling the winning ticket so you wouldn't even need a expert to help you split a amount of this magnitude. I think the person above you was confused and was maybe thinking the owner was the person who won the jackpot which if that's the case the owner is the sto... [ More ]

Ever since we had a 1.5 Billion jackpot on 1/13/2016, the jackpots for Powerball and Mega Millions have for the most part been won when it's $400 to $500 million.

There was one Powerball jackpot for $758 million during that time.

It almost seems like they want it to be won around the $400 to $500 million amount or around 22 rollovers.

It looks like the winner of the $533 million, if they take the cash amount of about $335 million will have to pay 37% Federal and 8% New Jersey f... [ More ]

Comment #82

Redd55 — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 17:00:13 GMT

The owner better go see a tax account quick! He's going to owe Fed tax and 8% state tax on his winnings. Then he has to worry about if the split is over the amount one can give without incurring a gift tax . Then the employees may owe taxes because it is income.

So, theoretically, the feds and NJ may be able to triple tax these winnings.

The owner of the New Jersey gas station that sold the winning $521 million Mega Millions ticket says he will split his winnings with his 10 employees.

$533 million. Cash would be $225? So I don't know what that comes to with taxes taken out. The person was a guy from what I heard and perhaps someone in their 40's - 60s

Comment #79

wander73 — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 00:48:47 GMT

It's someone the owner knows. He checked the cameras and he didn't tell the lottery commission. That is a smart move.

If it was me, I would ask him nicely to promote my websites and give him a cut of my sales.

...but but your saying it s either someone who lives there in a retirement home etc can also be view as judging a person as well Wander. I guess what l am saying is that there have been plenty of financial horror stories involving jackpot winners, that s to say, anything is possible. Don t forget, opinions are like noses, everyone has one.

Comment #76

wander73 — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 21:51:38 GMT

Yes cash option would be awesome.

However, some of you can't assume. The owner knows who it is. It was either someone who lives near there in a retirement home, someone who does need annuity options, or this person a guy who will seek something decent as in from a consultant firm.

Some of you are judging this person. I give this person 6-8 months to come forward. Unless, they have a health condition.

Choose cash option? What if the winner is an18 - 25-year-old with no experience handling money and will not follow advice from professionals? Maybe he or she abuses drugs and alcohol. The next thirty years could be a chance to learn finance and life in general. Outside of a school setting.

Of course, I would research how the lottery will invest the money in New Jersey. Each State is different.

Comment #68

KY Floyd — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 05:41:59 GMT

the media said all possible combinations have been sold.

The media may have said it, but that doesn't make it true. Sales for the record PB were roughly 635 million tickets. If all tickets were chosen randomly just about 89% of combinations would probably have been sold, leaving just over 10% unsold. As with all things probability, what really happens may be somewhat different than what probability theory suggests but if you sell 635 million tickets the actual results will be pretty close....

Rigged50 — Sun, 01 Apr 2018 05:10:52 GMT

I have seen many things that make me wonder about the validity of the game. I actually think the odds are worse than the odds the MM and PB post on their websites. For example they say odds are 1 in 292 Million, or whatever because that is the number of combinations of numbers. But the reality is when you buy Quick pick they are given the same number to other people. I have been playing for decades but one example is i bought a ticket at 7-11 in Newport News, Virginia in 2014 and the guy in fron... [ More ]

Draw is Computer draw, i hate it. The scratch cards are even worse, $20 to win $250,000 top price with only 2 top prices. Whiles some states $20 for 1 million or even high price here it's different here.

If you want to be able to buy tickets for such a huge jackpot in less-populated states like Idaho and Minnesota you need to put up with including highly-populated states that will win the jackpot more often. That's just simple mathematics.

Typically the states that win seem to be the ones that play the most collectively which makes alot of sense. Granted this isn't a guarantee since its a game of chance but on average a state that puts in more combinations will in turn yield a more positive outcome when it come to amount of winners. Which is why im taking a lottery break if you will especially from the MM.

I found this to be odd as well. Wouldn't the program automatically find where the ticket was found?

They probably wont change it for 3 1/2 years so that's about 14 more jackpots.

Texas Lotto Jackpot tonight: $19.75 Million/$13.3 Million Cash
