Let"S Please...Stop The MadnessReply
Relatives would be the main problem for some of us, and in my case I would have to cut myself off completely from them if they knew I had money. I have a sibling who wouldn't think twice about killing me if she thought it would get her an inheritance more quickly. I'd have to make certain she completely understood that she isn't in the will, and every few months fax her a copy of the page where it says that when I die she gets $1 to remind her why she's not killing me. And I still couldn't be co

PB 320Million$... how does one(JP winner) get the money anyway??Reply
The feds take 25% up front before you ever get any money from a jackpot. You might need to pay more when you file your taxes depending on what kind of measures you take to avoid paying taxes ( avoiding taxes is legal, evading taxes is illegal). Another good reason to have a good accountant working with you. Accountants and lawyers are licensed by the state and you can check them out with the state licensing board. They also are required to state their fees up front - and give you a written contr

Indiana lottery to outsource some operationsNews Story
The Indiana State Lottery Commission is asking companies to bid on taking over some of its operations. The commission Tuesday issued a solicitation for companies to bid by Aug. 31 on taking over the sales, distribution and marketing of the lottery, a state agency whose income has shrunk in recent years. It expects to sign a 10-year contract by Nov. 1. Lottery spokesman Al Larsen said the Lottery Commission will retain certain duties, including overall oversight of the lottery, rulemaking a

$540 MILLION: Mega Millions buying frenzy sparks another jackpot increaseReply
OK. I have one for the masses here. This is one I have never run into before. I am a... for lack of a better phrase - contract employee. I work for myself but with several different companies. One of the companies who owes me ALOT of back pay (I invoice per project), today as I was dropping off my last invoice (no more work until I get paid - they are 120 days out already)... gave me an envelope and the district manager gave me a wink and a nod saying that he would see me on Monday as he was

Cash Vs Annuity PaymentsReply
Yes I understand how the annuity works and yes the compound interest formula over simplifies the question but the basic fact remains, government bonds are at very very low rates and taxes are at low rates. If you look at treasury.gov at the start of this year yields were 0.01 to 2.98, and only the 20 and 30 year notes are over 2. Go back 5 years to 07 and the yields were 4.68 to 5.11 and it was the 3 month to 1 year notes that were all over 5. All they do with the annuity is take the cash in

$250 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot ramps upReply
So let me get this straight, no one knows who the billionaires and multi-millionaires are in this country and where they live? No one knows about all the pro athletes, musicians and actors and what they make in salary or anything? All the Fortune 500 executives that are on TV all the time and whose salaries and bonuses are reported in the Annual Reports or reported on CNBC, no one knows about them either? And these guy's homes are frequently posted on multiple celebrity and other real e

Are pre-draws corrupting your lottery strategy ?Reply
Dunno if it is normal or not. It might be written in the contract the state has with G-Tech, or part of the by-laws of the lottery commission of the state. The only explanation for the post test is to ensure nothing was tampered with during or after the pre-test or during the live draw. Other states may have a post test as well. For all I know Texas might and not publish that fact. I did see that Texas has had more than 4 pre-tests at times. A few times there were five pre-tests and once

Ohio man sues for share of $99M lottery jackpotReply
You might think your co-workers are nice people, but when money is involved, they'll back stab you in a heartbeat. Truer words were never spoken. But if you think your co-workers are bad when it comes to money being involved, your own family will backstab you when it comes down to money. I was the executor of my late mother's estate. I saw first hand how money can do funny things to even your blood relatives. And by 'blood relatives', I mean your brother(s) or sister(s). I aint talkin' your

100% Guarantee to win Fantasy 5 in GeorgiaReply
I really feel like I am going to win today, I really do. The other day, I spent $5 on Cash 3, when I had $8 worth of play slips filled out. I wanted to save money, so I didn't play the other $3. You guessed it, the winning number was on the $3 slip, the one I decided not to play. I do not want to make another mistake like that again, especially on my 70 play run of Fantasy 5. If I am right, and I win, I will have a nice pile of money, but if I am wrong my wife will probably shoot me (or at the v
