Where do you guys come up with the 35% Federal Tax rate
I am under the impression that if somone won a large amount of money, the tax rate would be 25% - 28% for federal taxes. I am basing this info from the info from the irs website. Why does people on the board reference the rate at 35%? I am aware that they take 25% off the top but where does the additional 10% come from? This is my first post so I hope I didn't break any rules. From the IRS site 2. Sweepstakes, Wagering Pools, and Lotteries File Form W-2G for each person to

6 Disturbing Lottery "Trends"Reply
My 4 cents (price increase from 2 cents): 1) Computerization is done 1. to reduce staff and cost and 2. to try to make drawings as mathematically random as possible to ensure fairness. I DO NOT LIKE such games and I rarely if ever play them until/unless I come up with algorithms that can beat them. The Lottery should provide software or something that players can use the same RNG (perhaps installed in the terminals) which would still be fair but this way you're using the same thing to pick wi

Michigan Post 11/20-11/26Reply
Ok.... Florida's break down is as follows: 1,250,000 X $20 = $25,000,000 10 $1,000,000 = $10,000,000 20- $100,000 = $2,000,000 100- $10,000 = $1,000,00 total prizes are 13 million or a payout of 52% CASH now Michigan's: 500,000 X$20 = $10,000,000 5 - $1 million dollar annuitized ( which for the benefit of the msl is approximately 60% of the value in this case $3 million) 10 - $100,000 = $1 million 750 - $1,000 = $750,000 total of $4,750,000 in prizes....or a pa

Lottery RafflesReply
I am not sure I like them because it is pure dumb luck if you win. There is not any strategy to it. However, the odds seem to be better. But maybe it is all dumb luck anyway. I started a thread about Florida,s Holiday Millionaire Raffle to see if it would peak some LP players interest if such a thing was available in their state. The facts: Each ticket costs $20.00 Total sales not to exceed 1,250,000 selling stops on 12/30 or sooner if max ticket sales reached. Prizes 10 f
