Now that both PB and MM have ~$40M jackpotsReply
I haven't played either MM or PB that much lately. If either one starts getting up there, I might buy a ticket or two, but I don't like to spend more than $10 per week on the lottery, so I usually spend $5 on Wednesday and $5 on Saturday on Hoosier Lotto. Hoosier Lotto is $11M and since Hoosier Lotto doesn't have a very good cash option I would take the annuity. Here are the 30 payments I would be looking at if I win on Wednesday(before taxes). 01) 196,131.09 02) 203,976.33 03) 212,135.
