Public Service Announcement
Tonight's Mega Millions jackpot is $422 million. Every ticket you buy indirectly helps me (oh, yeah, some of it goes to education or other worthy causes). So, buy early, buy often.

Re: Public Service Announcement
I asked for one this morning with my coffee. Clerk gives me a Powerball ticket. Um, no. I made him go back and get me the right one. If no one buys a $20 Powerball, he'll be in for $20 tomorrow night.
I do not want to here someone from that store wins the Powerball tomorrow night. Nope. I don't want to hear it.

Re: Public Service Announcement
Since nobody won the Mega Millions, the jackpot is now $512 million and may go up.
What better way to start a granddaughter's college fund than with $512 million of lottery winnings (less whatever the taxman and Gramps want to take for themselves)?

Re: Public Service Announcement
We have a winner:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nat ... 832019002/The winning Mega Millions ticket, worth $522 million, was sold in California, the lottery tweeted Tuesday night.
Only one ticket, sold in in San Jose, matched all six numbers. The ticket was purchased at Ernie's Liquors on South White Road, lottery officials reported.
This is the fifth-largest jackpot in the game's history, just behind the March 30 jackpot of $533 million won with a ticket sold at a New Jersey gas station.
The winning numbers drawn Tuesday night are: 1-2-4-19-29 with a Mega ball of 20.

Re: Public Service Announcement
The jackpot was revised upward to $543 million (cash value $320.5 million). The winning ticket was sold in San Jose, CA (I wonder where Bob ###'s was over the weekend).
Each state has its own laws about lotteries, and California's differs from Georgia in two big ways:
1) In California, lottery winnings are free from state income tax, while a Georgia winner would presumably be taxed at the maximum 6% rate.
2) In California, the retail location where the ticket was sold got a $1 million bonus. Here in Georgia, a winning ticket would earn the retailer 12 cents, the same as every other ticket sold.

I told my wife that if we won we should keep $10 million for ourselves and donate the rest to every Democrat who's running in November.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: Public Service Announcement
Not a good idea. You'd owe taxes on all of it, and the $10 million you're keeping won't be enough to pay those taxes. --BobBob Juch wrote:Form a PAC and you can give billions and the IRS won't even know --- now.Bob78164 wrote:Funny, I was just visiting my financial advisor for no particular reason and my ears started burning.silverscreenselect wrote:The jackpot was revised upward to $543 million (cash value $320.5 million).
