Arizona man's lottery ticket wins on every lineNews Story
Everyone dreams of purchasing a lottery ticket that has the winning numbers, but what about a $5 ticket that has winning numbers on each and every line including one with the winning jackpot numbers? About three months ago, Louis Cooper, Tucson, began playing the Arizona Lottery again, after a brief hiatus, using some special numbers he liked and some suggested by a friend, who just happens to be a psychic. This friend also gave him a lucky stone that he wears around his neck. Louis' fiv

Florida 60% payoutsReply
Quote: Originally posted by CASH Only on April 3, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by justxploring on April 2, 2006 Cash, am I misunderstanding you? I once posted in response to this question that I check out the payouts every time someone claims a jackpot for MegaMoney and Lotto and they are usually 70-75% (for MegaMoney) and 55-65% (for Lotto) depending on the amount of tickets purchased. I've seen payouts for the Lotto as high as 67%, but never less than 50%..usually more. As John wrote above,

Lotto South v Lose for LifeReply
Quote: Originally posted by CASH Only on March 27, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by konane on March 27, 2006 Neither for Georgia. Lotto Georgia in its original format 6/46 drawn once a week in Georgia by Glenn Burnes or any of the others who draw Mega Millions. With Lotto Georgia you had a choice of Cash or Annuity. Lotto GA, Lotto KY, and Lotto VA were all better than Lose for Life. Lotto South needed a bigger matrix and at least one more state. I've argued the point ad nauseam,

Tax on interest questionReply
Interesting thread here. I agree that federal tax on long-term capital gains is capped at 15%. But, for interest income (e.g., from non-muni bonds and CDs), it is taxed at your income tax bracket (currently at 35% for the highest level - which you would be if you generate over $314000 in income). I agree though that muni bonds are the best way to go to avoid federal income tax. If you can get munis in the state you reside, they are often exempt from state tax and even from local tax as wel

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
The MM jackpot has rolled over. The cash jackpot is now $152.8M, the annuity jackpot is $256M. The actual cash value of the last jackpot ended up being, based on sales $130.1M. For some reason sales figures for this 14th draw deviated strongly from the average sales figures for previous 14th drawings, being much stronger. The mathematical model I had been using to measure sales, that up until now has worked so well, to predict future jackpots was off by 6%. I am maintaining the curve f

Tips for the Latest Instant Millionaire
It's great to be rich, but fame is a bitch. So your primary mission is to claim the money without divulging your identity or having a mental breakdown. Here's how to do it: Don't tell anyone. The single most important rule for maintaining sanity after winning the lottery is: Do everything you can to keep your precious anonymity intact. Of course that means keeping your goddamned mouth shut. Don't share the news with your friends, neighbors, coworkers, or family. Resist even the urge to tell your

Write to your State LotteryReply
Let's modify an old joke:@Chewie:Q: Why does New Jersey have the most toxic waste dumps of any state in the union and Indiana has the most corrupt lottery?A: Because New Jersey got to pick first.I actually think your remarks are spot on. What would happen if someone did stand up there and pull some stunts like you described? Well in my fantasy (when I win Powerball) I intend to find out. I have a pair of Groucho glasses and a Puros Indios Chief cigar (which is 18 inches long!), and I plan t

LOTTOMIKE is the new Cash_OnlyReply
Personally, I don't blame them. I wouldn't respond to such a petty attack, either.LOTTOMIKE has made some significant posts to this forum, and CashOnly, well, what can I say about CashOnly that hasn't already been said? Many of his posts, while succinct, do provide a chuckle now and then, and just because he doesn't have a lot to say doesn't make his opinion any less significant than another. CashOnly is certainly passionate about the issues he cares about; I think it's obvious that he doesn't l

After Seeing "Jackpot!"Reply
I saw that program.For the most part, I found it very engaging and sometimes even funny. They all seem like people who have their heads together, but there was one part in particular that made me laugh out loud (a rare occurrence these days). The ex-con with the pony-tail ($41M, I think), took us through his mansion, pointing out his $85,000.00 chandeliers, $80,000.00 dressers, so many thousands for this, a hundred grand for that, etc. Then, he showed us his solid silver beer stein he likes to d
