LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #2Reply
Although the giveaway is over what I would do if I won the Lottery: First of all it depends on the amount, I would hire a lawyer and tax advisor, and I would definitely take the cash option. I would give to my favorite charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, buy one of these Schools that have been closed down and renovate it for the Homeless, start a savings account for my 7 great-grandchildren and bless my Church, my 52 year old twins and 7 grandchildren and any family members that

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
It is very easy to avoid paying taxes on lottery wins. Have a winning ticket? Burn it! I've got an even better idea, and if I win the 860ish million cash I expect at drawing time my federal tax bill would be way less than the $318 million some people would pay. But how many people are really that stupid, that they would turn down a large amount of money just to avoid having to contribute a portion of it, as much as 37%, to the treasury? Is that rhetorical? I know that you know that

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
Even if Circle K was a charity why would they want any money to go to the person who used a debit card to buy other tickets but was never a purchaser of the winning ticket? I suppose there's a possibility that they'd like to give them a modest amount since Circle K would never have become the lawful owner of a jackpot winning ticket if it weren't for that person, but I can't imagine any reason they'd ever suggest the ticket belongs to that person instead of Circle K. this is a p.r. win

Balancing Odds and Cost 😁Reply
Those are truly noble causes and I commend you for the same. I would not spend the winning on Mansions and such, nor would I be giving anyone $100M to spend. On the other hand, I would also not give it all away to charity

would you play a multi country lottery?Reply

Montana Lottery aims to prohibit bulk purchases after group takes gamble on $1.6 million jackpotReply
They spent $600,000. They didn't spend millions. If 600 people got together to do this, they would only need $1,000 each. That's not stinking rich , that's being a smart gambler who knows enough other people to make it happen. I would invest $1,000 into something like this, but the reason I don't is because I don't know 600 other people with $1,000. In any event, I think it's silly to consider who contributed to a jackpot and who won it and what state they're from. Who cares? It's not a

I know Delaware had a lottery in 1980. They started with $1 pull-tabs. Whatever other lotteries existed at that time, it was not possible to win $800 million. Not even close. I agree that the government has a spending problem. It needs to be much, much less. I'm not a socialist. But I also don't believe that lottery winners should get off tax-free, as if they're poor people. That's absurd. Income is income, whether it was a lottery win or a paycheck. No one is going to give the Treasury

Tempted by $700 million Powerball lottery jackpot, N.C. woman wins $2 million in Mega MillionsReply
The scholarship would be an awesome idea. Especially for Trade courses. They don't cost so much like the 4 year degrees and work is always available. If I won the 1.1B, I would definitely do something for charity, not sure exactly what though

I know that because out of the $4 spent your contribution was 1$ which is 25% of the total That's how am getting my calculation on what you can keep and what goes to other LP members who are the charity I can also volunteer to take 25% of the winning on behalf of other LP members and let you keep the 75% Is that a better deal

Evidently it must have been against company policy for employees to purchase rejected tickets The stories I've seen have said the policy is that employees can't buy (any) lottery tickets at the store they work at , not just while they're working. There's also the whole deception angle of attempting to buy the ticket in the hopes that the company didn't yet know they owned a ticket worth far more than face value. I don't see any way that it was a lawful sale/purchase. Unprecedented move
