a "tax" question for those in the knowReply
Stack, you can quote me all you want, agree or disagree, but you are not making sense. You can't go to the lottery and say I want the lump sum, but don't pay me. Nope I'm saying the winners has up to 60 days AFTER validating their ticket to choose either a cash payment or the annuity. Upon completion of internal validation and claiming procedures established by the Ohio lottery commission, at the time a valid claim is presented for payment of the grand prize jackpot, the estimated cash

Study ranks Missouri lottery as ninth best in U.S.Reply
Looking at the point assignments, I can only see 2 or 3 categories where fairness is involved and that's if you include bilingual.

To be totally fair, this study is suggesting that all lottery ticket sold should be printed in every language spoken or read
