New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
What are your thoughts if two people win the jackpot - do you think that at 500K a year it's still worth it? I definitely like the 1M a year prize at the given odds. LFL currently has a 20 year guaranteed payment if you opt for the annuity.

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
Been a blast folks! See you probably at thanksgiving when we all reconvene for the next billion dollar PB jackpot ......if not sooner should Mega Millions go thru the roof. I might abstain from MM until the annuity reaches 500 mil and then proceed to purchase one ticket ..... I dunno.

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
There isn't any state that if you win a million dollars that you only receive $460K. If they make you take the annuity to reach the million, You still get the Million dollars minus applicable taxes. If they are saying you get a cash option(such as the PB/MM provides) that is always a reduced amount. We have that in TN on the Scratch offs. You win a reduced amount for the 1 time sum. Federal income taxes are 37% on a million or a billion or a trillion, your state income taxes are never 17%(y

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
We should get one now...lol We don't really need one, because the text will be mostly the same, and there will be just a minor revision to the list. With 3 days for sales it's very unlikely we'll see any update to the advertised jackpot until around noon tomorrow, but I'll revise the list based on an even billion. Assuming the interest rate doesn't change the cash value of $451.5 would be #18, about $1 million ahead of the current #18. For any cheerleaders that think the annuity matter

Connecticut couple of 25 years celebrates with $100,000 Powerball lottery winReply
Today l asked my DeepSeek Ai a very interesting question . How much do l need to win in lottery to receive $1,000,000,000 cash after lump sum and after Tax ? The answer was interesting To determine how much you need to win in the lottery to receive **$1,000,000,000 cash after lump sum and taxes**, we need to account for two main deductions: 1. **Lump-Sum Reduction**: Lottery jackpots are typically advertised as annuities (paid over 30 years), but winners usually opt for a lump-s

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Which foreign lottery games can I participate in as an American while physically in the United States? I m not referring to shady websites or third party sellers that claim you can purchase tickets online . I can't go to the Euromillions website right now and purchase a ticket as American in the USA. You can only do this if you are in one of the official participating countries That s my main point. But I wouldn t say America has the best lottery games that s just an opinion. I think tax-fre
