[WaTaGuMp]

I got the mega number, woot 2 dolla.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

One number. That's it. Damn!

 

[gorcorps]

The numbers have been drawn already at 10 CDT, here are the numbers:

9-19-34-44-51, Mega Ball: 24, I threw 20 bucks down the drain Hope no one wins.

*slaps head*

I read your first sentence and then stopped reading. I really need to go to bed.

But I did hit 3 of the regular numbers so I get $7. My MB was 23, and if I would have hit that it would have been $150. So close

Pretty ridiculous money. Just live off the interest alone. Right now the estimated jackpot is $476 million with a cash option of $341 million. So if you won and elected the lump sum payment of $341 million you would have to pay 25% federal tax and then state tax, here in Colorado where I live it's 4%. So 29% taken away would be roughly $100 million you would have to pay in taxes leaving you with $241 million in money you would actually get.

Now put that into a savings account with a guaranteed 3% interest rate and you'd be making around $600,000 a month off of just interest....

Only bought one number for the last drawing, didn't get anything

$476,000,000 is a lot of money.

Yeah, that's just nutty.

The sad thing is that in the grand scheme of things, 241million is chump change. Though not really for an individual I guess. It gets you about 1/4 of the way to being on the top 500 wealthiest individuals in the world list.

If I had an extra 100 mill I would give 100k to my favorite contributors to the Hume thread.

and 1 mill to moon beam, if he would take the job, to be my personal philosophical sounding board.

I need to start posting in there more...

Glad the office pool didn't win as I didn't get a chance to put in $ haha

 

[Don Karnage]

20 dollars and not one damn number

Edit - Ok i matched 2 but no mega ball.... FORSHAME

 

[conehead433]

So I had 6 tickets and not a single number on any of them. Last year I dreamed I won 422 million in the lottery. I remembered 5 out of 6 of the numbers from my dream. Since the jackpot is different than what I dreamed I won I'm not sure now if I should buy every combination to cover the sixth number for the next draw. Time to revisit that dream maybe.

Where these days can you find a 3% interest rate?
