    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.

    think of all the good things you could do for charity with that money.

    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.
