They did some kinda bs during covid. Where they kept some of the money. Claiming they might go bankrupt or some bs. Probably never changed it back. They also take a bigger cut with the cash penalty. Might wanna look into it.......

That is ridiculous. You have no cause of action against the lottery and would be the laughing stock of the country. A reasonable adult knows that all income is taxable.

TAXES are fraud misleading advertisements; if I win, I will ask for tickets that were sold since the last winning day,

For example, 50 states sold an average of 10 million tickets at $2 for each state. (10*2)*50= 1 Billion, and the start-up prize is $20 million. So for drawing 9/13/2024, the first draw of $20M, according to the Mega Millions website, all payout is: 2,799,586.00 the expenses at 20% is $200M, the profit is: $797,200,414.00, now for the next draw people start spending more and

Nobody knows if the winner will see the congratulatory posts or not.

I can't imagine a lottery winner not checking out Lottery Post!

A lottery jackpot winner might check out Lottery Post for at least 3 reasons:

1. To see if a story about their win has been posted.

2. To learn more about the lottery.

3. To get numbers for their next big win.

I would want to hear both aspects of a story when someone wins. Good and bad, yes. Of course on here you only hear about the initial win and the exuberance the winner shares at the moment. It usually does not go according to plan for them on what they do with it. Buy a mansion. I laugh when they decide to do that. Buying planes, boats and vehicles they will hardly ever use is another laughable plan. But we never hear about what they actually did only what they might do. Giving it to a financial

Its funny you would think Old Jack's story is fascinating

If that fathead had stuck to maintaining and building up his business had not given his grand daughter the E ticket ... I'd dare wager they'd both be alive and well

in fact its almost almost to the day a year ago, I remember making this blog entry

I agree about the constant posts simply saying congrats to a winner who will never see the post but that is different to wishing a winner well.

You do not have a right to know what they are going to do with the money. You want to see a trainwreck and drama and that is a form of jealousy.

You remind me of a bank employee when I switched banks. The woman asked me what I was going to do with all the money in my savings account. I told her she was being unprofessional and it was none of her

At least I don't congratulate every winner like some do on here. That really attracts readers reading congratulations every time someone wins. Isn't it obvious that congratulations are in order. Why keep writing that and nothing else. Some of us here want details especially after they win we want to know what they did with the money or what they want to do with it. I found the Jack Whittaker story fascinating. Ripping through 300 million when the guy was already a millionaire was interesting and... [ More ]

A boring trust claimed it. I would rather see another Jack Whittaker type claim it so we could all enjoy watching how they mismanage it. I hope the trust invests it all in Ukranian grain futures.

Nice payout despite the taxes.

Asked my Brother-in Law why his homeland doesn't offer Mega Millions said Puerto Rico is corrupt. Who knows
