Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
The ratio depends on the return interest rate of government bonds. Jade is usually good at doing math calculations, but I've got no idea what insights those recent graphs are supposed to be offering. That run in the first graph that looks normal shows a range of a maximum of 7% more than the low annuity value of 211% of the cash. In the second one with the sudden drop has a range with a maximum of only 3.96% over the lowest annuity value of 219.8%. What both of them show are the perfect

Family claims biggest EuroMillions jackpot in Irish history at €250 millionReply
eating every type of food to their heart's desire I'm slightly worried that winning the lottery and being able to buy $50 worth of fine chocolate every week with just pocket change might be a problem. Well, the greatest nation on earth , aka USA, can't afford to let us walk away with a single penny. States already skim 40 to 60% of the price of each ticket, so also taxing winnings is definitely greedy, and might even reduce sales enough to cancel out the tax revenue. The federal g

Is the Annuity payout safe?Reply
For the most part I think the annuity is a safe option. More so with the Multi State Games. The safety of the annuity may be argued in terms of the payout duration. Are we certain of living for the next 29 years to collect all the payments? No one knows for certain. Will the tax environment change so much and affect the future payments negatively? Who knows. Is there a possibility of any country ending up like Ukraine? If yes, would I want the government to be holding my money or

$1.3 million Jersey Cash 5 lottery jackpot unclaimed for almost a yearReply
JustMaybe, You just pushed the idea I have had for years into at least second place... I have always believed that *all* unclaimed funds should roll over into other Special drawings with much lower and more reasonable odds than PB MM until it was won *and* claimed. Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Holiday Drawings? By each State or Nationally? There would be many details to work out. I believe that the unclaimed funds should go to the buying public that furnished the funding in the first place.

Virginia Mega Millions $348 million lottery winner plans to buy lawnmower with record prizeReply
they had or have a game where the prize stipulates taxes paid and you actually get the advertised amount. I remember seeing something about a game that did that, but it was a long time ago. If such a game exists now I haven't seen anything about it. I wish I'd checked (or remembered if I did check) to see if it really was a set amount after taxes, because the taxes could vary quite a bit depending on a winner's taxable income. Even if the prize was only 10k, that would add $3700 in federal

Lottery money for educationReply
I believe that the government money goes to the physical plant, staff, teachers, food for breakfasts and lunches, and so on. The supplies mentioned are what the parents are supposed to supply their children with - notebooks, paper, pencils, rulers, etc. Some kids from less fortunate families would not have any of this if not for the donations. That is what the lists by teachers are for. The teachers are not making lists for desks, school buses, playground equipment, etc., but for the very basic
