Just Jack Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Just saw this article pop up on from the local newspaper.... http://www.syracuse....50_million.html According to USAMega.com, on Saturday, a lump sum, before federal taxes would get you $350.1 million. In New York, the state with the highest tax on lottery winnings at 8.82 percent, your lump sum payout would be $231,696,180. If you took annual payments, you would be getting an average of $12,133,000 per year, totaling to $363,990,000 after 30 years.
Gugny Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Just threw $5 in for the office pool. Here's to hoping.
mead107 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Spent $20 dollars on power ball and got 3 mega million tickets.
Chef Jim Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Spent $20 dollars on power ball and got 3 mega million tickets. 3 mega million tickets!?!? That's a lot of tickets!!
ajzepp Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I enjoy picking up a lotto ticket from time to time, but I've recently signed up to buy tickets online here in Georgia and it's so much more convenient! I've been spending about $5-6 a week on the mega millions and powerball, and they send you an email whenever you win. The other day I pretty much crapped myself when I saw an email indicating I was a winner...I opened it up and saw that I won $4, but hey, it's a start! I highly recommend checking to see if your state has online play...

And yeah, I'll probably be a lotto loser this weekend.
Mark Vader Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 So wait, now the lotto losers don't even have to put pants on to buy tickets? Jeezus. And yeah, I'll probably be a lotto loser this weekend. So you don't wear pants?
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 And Rosen would find a way to crash it. Not intentionally
ajzepp Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 So wait, now the lotto losers don't even have to put pants on to buy tickets? Jeezus. And yeah, I'll probably be a lotto loser this weekend. Exactly...I've bought tickets like three times in the past few weeks with my pecker hanging out. It's great!
The Poojer Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Me too and got kicked out of wawa each time! Exactly...I've bought tickets like three times in the past few weeks with my pecker hanging out. It's great!
4merper4mer Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Just threw $5 in for the office pool. Here's to hoping. It's $2 a ticket isn't it? Also just to clarify I think the original title of this thread is very mean. Beerboy does poop his pants a lot but it is because of a medical condition called incompetence, not because of the lottery.
ajzepp Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Me too and got kicked out of wawa each time! LOL!! I love Wawa! Wish we had them down here in ATL
Fan in San Diego Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 I'd buy a sky box at the Ralph and invite TBD to celebrate !
Just Jack Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 If, by some miracle, no one wins tonight, it'll bump up to $900 Million for next Wednesdays drawing.
Chef Jim Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 If, by some miracle, no one wins tonight, it'll bump up to $900 Million for next Wednesdays drawing. That's !@#$ing insane. Actually the real word is stupid. So much good could be done with that money. Oh and I'm holding out until Wednesday. I want to do something insanely stupid with my winnings.

Just Jack Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 10, 13, 14, 22, 52 and Powerball 11 I won $7, and it only cost me $6. McDonalds Dollar Menu, here I come!

Just Jack Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Only one winner, in Florida..... http://www.syracuse....d_in_fla_o.html DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- It's all about the odds, and one single ticket in Florida has beaten them all by matching all the numbers to win the highest Powerball jackpot in history at an estimated $590.5 million, lottery officials said early Sunday. The lone winner was sold at a Publix supermarket location in Zephyrhills, Fla., according to Florida Lottery executive Cindy O'Connell. She told The Associated Press by telephone that more details would be released later.
