Virginia woman wins $150,000 Powerball lottery prize using ChatGPT, donates entire prizeReply
Congratulations on the win and the philanthropic heart. I believe that she did her homework on the tax part. She accepted the winnings in her name and as such that counts as income to her. She will need to pay both State and Federal taxes on that income. For cash donations to public non profits, one can only deduct up to 60% of Adjusted Gross Income. For private foundations that's 30% of AGI. Most lottery winnings $600 are paid less 24% withheld federal tax. I read anothe

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
Kreamer said that he would sign an order that would compel the bank to come forward with those details so that the key party can be named in the lawsuit. Named in the lawsuit or subpoenaed as a witness?

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Here's proof that the drawing is random This drawing is probably proof that plenty of people play patterns, and certain proof that certain numbers coming up results in a number of winners that's only random in that whatever factor caused them to choose their numbers happened to match one of the combinations in the small subset of combinations that match the possible patterns. No 2nd prize winners from Texas? What's up with this? CA, NY, and TX all have slips that don't let you choo

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
American money going to foreign citizens. The article points out that According to MUSL, more than half of every $2 Powerball ticket stays in the jurisdiction where it is sold . That the state's share of the ticket price and all of the non-jackpot prizes that are paid by the state to somebody who bought a ticket in that state (roughly another 16% of the ticket price) stays in the state should be a no-brainer. With all of the states that offer PB, varying populations, and the small number of
