New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
$1 million sounds great. but after taxes, you'd get about 1/5th of the amount. it's a gimmick.

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
The price is way too much for the prize. Keep in mind that Lucky for life is $2.00 a line. If they make 1st prize $2.5m/yr/life, and 2nd prize $500,000.00/yr/life, I will definitely play taking taxes into consideration. The way it stands now, it appears that MUSL is trying to fleece the players, so I'm not playing.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Lots of people have different reasons for playing whatever game. I just dropped $5 on tomorrows Tx 2Step. It's up to $1,075,000. Odds are 1 in 1,832,600 to hit the jackpot. Is the jackpot hundreds of millions? Nooo. But after taxes I would clear somewhere around $700K. That suits me til I croak.

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
I think everyone knows this but when the jackpot winner is announced, the state of purchase will be announced. Moving to another state before claiming will not change this fact. The taxes will be due to the state where you purchased your ticket and the state (if different) you lived at that time (assuming you qualify as a full time resident in that second state).

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.

California is the last place anyone should want to win. They're going to blast your name all over the news and the media is going to report on everything you buy. Idaho will come after you for their taxes but you'll have bigger problems. You'll be asking for the looney bin before the year is up. They'll put your friend in jail.

I didn't say I would donate to the Treasury over and above what my tax bill is. I would not. I said I wouldn't complain about having to pay such a large tax bill due to having a very large income. Since I don't write tax law and have no control over it, it simply means that the more money I have to pay in taxes, the higher my income is, and I wouldn't mind that at all.
