British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
Ask the British, the French and the Germans about massive muslim immigration. You were talking about decisions you think the two POTUS candidates might make in our country and now you're talking about Europe. While Trump would deny sharia law in our country Hillary would welcome it. And that's why I highlight the portions of a post I'm commenting on. Maybe you should just take a trip to Dearborn or certain parts of Minneapolis. Been to the Henry Ford Museum and the Mall of A

$333 MILLION: Powerball offers up summertime richesReply
According to this article in FORBES: http://www.forbes.com/sites/janetnovack/2013/03/23/tax-on-320-million-powerball-jackpot-millions-more-than-in-2012/#7018de67471b As for state and local income tax, since California doesn t impose its highest in the nation 13.3% state income tax on lottery winnings, the Big Apple AAPL +0.38% has the distinction of taking the biggest bite out of its own Powerball winners. New York City residents get hit with an 8.82% top statetax on income over around $2

Man buys wrong lottery ticket, wins $169 millionReply
I do remember there was a winner in NY in Sheephead (?) Bay who claimed very late, the PB or MM site years later didn't show claim status as claimed or expired but as pending , no info given on the winner. Noise-gate found an article on it when I brought it up, but I don't remember where. The whole story seemed very hush-hush. Think it was a 130M$ jackpot. It was this one: http://www.powerball.com/powerball/winners/2013/NY_Nikolayev111613.shtml But like I said the Winner's Stories secti

Puzzling cliff-hanger remains in case of poisoned lottery winnerReply
. Aw, come on. Somebody knows something about this. Now who did it? I really need to know how this terrible thing happened. Not only that, but why do these acts keep happening? (realizing this article was about something that happened a few years ago) Somebody knows something about this. That person should turn themselves in, or report anything they know about it. The people involved in this poor fellow's murder will eventually be severely shamed, if not sooner. Why do

Another retailer charged in Connecticut Lottery schemeReply
I thought this was a quick pick, not a choose your own numbers game. They closed the game down, did they not recognize a flaw in their program for this game and are now coming down on someone who manipulated the flaw? How can a game be fixed at the terminal when it generates quick picks only? I don't like the article in that it is missing details of how such an operation was possible. I've seen clerks printing their own tickets, I don't think too much of it. It does bother me howe

To strategize or not to strategize? That is the question
Don't form combinations in a mathematical sequence So many people select their lottery numbers by choosing a small number and then selecting each subsequent number by adding the same value to it. For example, they start with a 04 and then add six to each number to get 04, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34 as their combination. Or they use squared numbers to come up with their combination - for example, 04, 09, 16, 25, 36, 49. Don't do this. Choosing numbers in this way won't increase your chances of

Pick 3/4 Meter Made Math MovesReply
You aren't getting it, yes you observed 6,7,8 but if it occurred in 1,2,3 you also would have OBSERVED it and announced there was a flaw in the system. The only reason you OBSERVED only 3 consecutive numbers is be cause you limited your view to a graphical view that made those more obvious. But if you were thorough and imagined there was a flaw then you would have looked for any set of three, not just an arbitrary consecutive set. My point, which you aren't getting because you don't ha

Luckiest StatesReply
Everybody loses around your area because in Powerball only 1 combination out of every 25 wins anything and the odds that you'll win more than $7 are one in 15,000 It isn't that some combinations are suboptimal, it is that the game isn't designed to create lots of winners, it is designed to create monster jackpots that get people reaching for their wallets. It really is just mathematics at work, factual, long known, well tested, mathematics. If you buy 25 tickets a week y

A VERY serious topic.Reply
As music* said above, you can give any number of people an annual gift of $14k each. There's also the estate tax exemption of $5.43 million, which would be the max. amount that could be passed down to your heirs tax free, but you can also give away that much during your lifetime. (the annual gifts don't count against that amount as long as they're $14k or under per person) The kicker is you can't double dip on that amount - whatever you give away of that amount will deduct from that total of you
