    I always say to myself "god I want to win the lottery". But, I never play it. It's time for that to change tonight.

    OMG! YES!! How badass would that be?! Of course, they probably wouldn't accept the money...or would in turn give it to a children's charity. hehehehehehehehe :lol:

    How much do you actually get after taxes?

    I am thinking it is like %30-35 to taxes. Right now the cash option is $137,800,000. So, if it is %35 you are still going to clear $89.5 million.

    I'm willing to bet it's higher than that. I bet taxes on a sum like that are close to 50%. You get taxed 35% once you hit 6 figures.

    Federal tax bracket can go as high as 39.6%.

    If you live in a state with a state income tax, you could reach the 50% mark. Thankfully I do not. So, 39.6% would be what I would pay.

    No shit? Figured it'd be higher... there must not be much separation after a certain point.

    What state do you live in and how do they fund their budget?

    I live in Washington State. They make up for not taxing our income with taxing everything we buy with a hefty sales tax.

    You only get $38k a year unless you pick the cash option, from what I understand.

    That is incorrect. If you pick the annual payment option instead of the cash option, you will get $8,153,846 per year for 26 years. Before taxes of course and assuming the $212 million jackpot.

    I have two pet peeves that are lottery related.....one is when people explain for a frickin hour all that they would do with the money if they ever won...people spend WAY too much time thinking about that! Then everyone feels like they should say what THEY would do. unless you're letting me know my cut, I don't give a fuck how you'd spend it.
    The other is the people that wouldn't quit their jobs....'I'd be bored'. :?
    How could you be bored with unlimited resources? I could spend the rest of my life on golf courses and strippers and not be bored....why would I want to sit at a desk for 9 hrs a day?

    oh, and the asswipe checking 18000 old tickets at 6AM at the Sev when you're late and trying to get a cup o' coffee...hate him too :twisted:

    sorry, carry on :D
