Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
If I won lots of money, I would be happy to pay my fair share of taxes. Everyone needs to pay their fair share. Unfortunately the tax code has gotten less fair over time, with carve-outs and deductions for favored groups making things a mess. Making one rich person even richer at the expense of everyone else makes zero sense. Sadly, there are a bunch of people in Congress who have been thinking that way for years (themselves and their rich friends who got rich through other means, not lotter

Lottery Post for the Hobbyist and Serious Lottery PlayerReply
Why do you post videos when you don't even watch them? btw a professional gambler is defined by the IRS as one who makes money in 3 of the 5 previous consecutive years. So it doesn't have to be constant for one to file taxes as a professional gambler.

Mass. winner thought she won $10k, had to travel to different Lottery office for $1M checkReply
Probably cuz it ended up being $650k before taxes instead of the actual $1M like she thought on the way to the office. Negative news tend to take the front seat. It's the same as when someone matches 5/6 and wins $1M but misses out on the big jackpot on that one last number.

I can purchase a ticket in a different state as long as they have a currier service. example california because there's no state tax on lottery winnings Then it makes me wonder if said service would stiff you if you won? This is just my opinion... But it seems this could turn into tons of problems that can arise from this. I was thinking it was geared toward people who could not get to the stor
