Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Thanks for your response. I hear ya I'm saving waiting to unload the clip if it hits a billion. I'm waiting for CA 2nd prize to go above $1.6M so I can net a cool million after taxes. Gonna play $6 each draw when it hits that point and if jackpot climbs above a billion I will unload the clip and play $20 max play.

Fantasy 5 payouts are garbage now!
The top prize for Fantasy 5 is now roughly only $50,000 before taxes. The top prize used to be around $250,000 just a couple of years back. What a joke Fantasy 5 payouts are today.

New York: 7/1 - 7/31/2025Reply
Waiting for the triples . I went lotto store last Sunday and clerk showed me this one customer had bought like 70-80 tickets of 367 combo and those numbers had come out night before. Customer was gonna pick up his tickets, he won like $30-40K and no taxes. I was so jelly . If a triple comes out, I want to play like that much. Here is to hoping

Maryland: 7/1 - 7/31/2025Reply
But he saved us $50 each supposedly (talking point from the news). This is just 1 of many taxes they added, mostly business to business taxes. I live near both PA WV so might be able to go to those states to get things or services that are cheaper. Already playing Lotto America in WV in place of MM. From what I can see it appears to be from -- Blueprint for Maryland's Future, with a planned 10-year phase-in period. This includes substantial increases in the per-pupil foundation amount

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #2Reply
If I won the lottery I would be in total shock; I would have to take a few days to gather my thoughts; I would have to put the ticket in a secure place, get a financial advisor, sort legal advice etc.; I will only tell my immediate family, have them sign documentation to avoid this licking out to protect myself and them; take the lump sum after taxes, pay off all debt, travel, get a new car, pay my tithes; donate to the senior ministry and homeless shelter

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #2Reply
If I won a large sum of money, first I would deal with all the taxes associated. Secondly, I would become debt free! Thirdly, I would take a vacation and think of how to invest the balance making sure never to be poor.

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I haven't paid any attention to this game nut I just saw it on the NY lottery's home page for the first time. Obviously everybody gets to decide whether or not they want to play, but here are a couple of thoughts. The first is largely about playing this or playing PB (or MM) when the jackpot is still small. Generally, at least 8 to 10 million people (5 to 7 isn't unusual for Monday drawings) spend $2 when the annuity is $20 to $30 million (even if you die before the drawing) and the cash val

Annuity or Cash ValueReply
just look at what happened with publishers clearing house. Here's a fun fact. Publisher's Clearing House wasn't running a Ponzi scheme, but they were apparently paying for prizes won in the past with the money they were making when a prize payment was due. There was no prize money set aside in a separate fund, let alone with a 3rd party that was responsible for making the payments independently of PCH. If a state defaults on an annuity it's going to be because there was some major financial

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I know Lotto Motto can appreciate what I'm about to write because he/she is located in Miami. I mostly play Florida Fantasy5 due to it's 376,992 to 1 odds. Fantasy5's jackpots aren't exactly life changing. Midday draws pay out roughly $45,000 before taxes to a single winner. The Evening Fantasy5 draw pays approximately $100,000 to a single jackpot winner. (Again, before taxes) If all Raffle tickets in their respective range are sold, the odds of winning are 1 in 100,000. If fewer Raffle
