note to winner --state with no state taxes to claim from -- Florida --- also claiming as a "trust / corperation taxes at say 17 % vs claiming as a person at 40% tax rate --a savings of 23 % (roughly 1/4 th of all you won) on 1.3 billion that would be about 299 million dollars ..your welcome ... clearly how you claim matters ...,with the difference in state taxes - no state taxes and different fed tax rates --that could easily be well over 300 million dollars .over 1/3 rd of all your money won just in "tax differences" on how and where your claim your winnings (sound of toilet flushing)

Tennessee also has NO state taxes... and I'm heading to Antarctica to live a life of luxury. ZERO taxes there... period. May be a little chilly at times... but what the hell... Just have some veggies, meat, spuds and other items dropped in and I'm good to go for a long time... I can afford it.

I for one find it horrifying that -- the fact of how (private person 40% vs as a "trust / corperation" 17% ) and where you claim (state with state taxes vs no state taxes)... "your" lotto prize money could easily cost you about 1/3rd of your winnings in "extra taxes" ...poor dumb joe idiot lotto player runs to the local state lotto office headquarters and plunks downs his "winning" powerball ticket ---well (toilet flushing sound) there goes 300 million dollars ..that's shameful--- 300 million thats enough to give a person 500,000 a month (6 million a year) for 50 years

Yep! I'am going to predict that this jackpot will have multiple winners.

Just ran across this, 1st I'd heard about it, but I seldom play the Lottery.

Thought I'd toss it in here, not trying to "harsh anyone's mellow"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-million-jackpot-rigged-by-a-former-employee/

What caused suspicion

In December 2010, a man walked into a Quik Trip convenience store on Des Moines’ north side and bought what would become the winning ticket in a Hot Lotto draw with a $16.5 million jackpot, according to court documents.

The prize was unclaimed for nearly a year. In November 2011, a Canadian man contacted the Iowa Lottery claiming to be the winner. A month later, he said he was not the winner himself, but represented the anonymous winner. Later that month, a New York lawyer came forward to claim the prize for a Belize-based trust. No one involved could provide the basic details of the winner, information required by Iowa law. Eventually, the attorney withdrew the claim to the jackpot and the money went back to the states where the tickets were sold.
So what happened?

Investigators never gave up on the curious case and, three years later, released surveillance footage of a hooded man buying the winning ticket in the hopes that someone would recognize him. Several people identified him as Edward Tipton, Multi-State Lottery Association’s former security director.

Tipton was charged with fraud almost exactly one year ago, on Jan. 15, 2015. Investigators argued that Tipton was able to secure the winning ticket for himself through self-destructing software he installed on lottery computers, according to the Des Moines Register. Tipton then allegedly filtered the ticket through a friend in Texas.

Ultimately, he was found guilty of two counts of fraud last July and sentenced to 10 years in prison last September.
The investigation expands

In October, investigators alleged that Tipton also rigged a $4.8 million jackpot in Colorado in 2005 and a $2 million jackpot in Wisconsin in 2007. They have also investigated alleged rigging in Kansas and Oklahoma.

After the investigation was expanded nationwide in early October, Multi-State’s executive director Charles Strutt — who had run Powerball since it was created — was quietly placed on indefinite administrative leave, according to the Associated Press. Strutt hopes to return to the job when the Tipton case ends.

Tipton denies the allegations that he abused his position and is facing a second trial this month.

wow if you can't trust a man running a gambling deal who can you trust?

 

[Limitool]

Yep! I'am going to predict that this jackpot will have multiple winners.

It sure will... I bought 20 tickets and used the same number on them all.

 

[pepperj]

It just tipped the 1.4 Billion mark, with a $868 million cash pay out.

I think I could finally afford to buy a new CTX 3030.

I could finally sit down, put my feet up, and pay someone to do my treasure hunting for me.

 

[clv]

If I win you can bet someone else will be doing the cleaning, cooking, washing for starters. And a house with more land around it so I don't need to listen to my neighbor's crappy band playing with everyone in a different cord.
Now that I think about the list is quite long.

 

[Rustic]

I don't usually play lottery, but I'll buy a ticket for this, and if I win, I'm buying up 500 acres of scenic Maine coast, having a fine cabin built for me- complete with antler chandeliers and stick furniture and big, hand-hewn beams, and I'm spending my days metal detecting wherever the hell my fancy takes me, and my evenings studying local history... it's nice to dream

 

[Brother Al]

The best description that I have ever heard is "the lottery is a special tax for people who are very bad at math" Like what part of 1 chance in 290,000,000 dont you understand? however. that being said. I have my ticket in hand 1.3 billion and counting........ALL my TN friends will get millions if God blesses our house

 

[Oregon Viking]

I don't usually play the lottery....but when I do, I prefer a billion plus.

 

[GA_Boy]

What's so funny about this, Loco, is that on the way to work, I was dreaming about what would happen if I won the 1.3 Billion... (which isn't going to happen... I don't play the lottery... but I was dreaming anyway)...

I actually thought, "I'd buy all my buddies on T-Net a new CTX 3030..."



LOL

So, there you have it, you can have a new CTX 3030, if I win one!

BUY A TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will probably win the big one. "This is the big one Elizabeth, I'm coming to join you." (Red Fox)

Well when I quit doing the commercials for the "World's Most Interesting Man" I decided to move on. I approached the "Coors Light" folks.... but apparently they didn't see my former commercials.

What the hell...? it won't matter soon!!!
