Washington state getting ready to impose huge taxes on lottery jackpots
Just a heads-up to Washington state players: You may go from zero taxes on lottery wins to 9.9% state tax on jackpot wins. This is among the largest state taxes in the country. The Washington state senate passed legislation in the past couple of days to create a new state tax on millionaires , which means lottery jackpot winners. The bill now goes to the state House, and then after that to the governor to sign. What a tragedy. If lower income residents of the state think they're safe

Georgia lottery winner starts off new year by claiming $983 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
That idea would partially work in theory... But, what about the tax on the profits...?

He shouldn't have blown his money frivolously.
