Virginia Mega Millions $348 million lottery winner plans to buy lawnmower with record prizeReply
@Tucker Black I do agree with you on the interest. The winner gets all the interest and that is why the amount being paid out after the 30 years is way more than the cash at hand/bank today. What I like about the lump sum is that the money is invested in very safe government bonds. If the US government bonds fail, then the economy is all failed, doesn't matter where your money is, there would be a ripple effect. If I won the jackpot today, I would put all the money in government bond

EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
The DC government is well known for being very incompetent across the board and that is one of the reasons it cannot get statehood. A one traffic light town is more competent. A guy in my office was on DC unemployment comp for a month or two before he worked for my employer and got a threatening letter stating that he owed them $40 k. Lol. He tried a million ways to tell them that he received a few thousand in benefits but every rep there did not care. He had to bring in an attorney to meet

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
US citizens paying tax on winnings in UK aren't paying UK tax. They are paying USA tax. (Us citizens don't have to pay the UK government anything for the privilege of winning money in the UK lotteries.) Complain to your congress critters if you aren't happy about that. Tariffs alone will not fund the USA. I mean.. They were looking at Trump's tariffs plus existing tariffs bringing in something like $200 billion... That is a little way short of just the Defence budget, let alone the inter

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
I definitely don't agree with that take. California isn't the last place I'd want to win. It has zero state taxes on the prize, which compared to my home state would be an extra $90 million ! I would take the public notice for an extra $90M any day of the week. Then I'd move to a state with a much better government and live life to the full.

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
While I seriously doubt it, could The Florida Lottery actually be thinking It's too expensive and players wont go for it? My money is on this guess... There's a bill authorizing one of the games in The Florida State government that's stuck and it hasn't yet been sent to The Governor for signature. G5

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
Yes, that would be much simpler and fairer. Taxes should be built into the price of the ticket, although I understand each state has different taxes and you wouldn't have a flat ticket price. Let's be honest, unless you take the actual cash and stuff it in a mattress, the winnings will be spent or invested and thus taxed at every stage - profits, dividends, interest, stamp duties, sales taxes etc etc etc. Here in Australia our Powerball jackpots are obviously much lower given our population
