I much prefer the 'You gotta be in it to win it' frame of mind Markus.

Just purchased 5 lines Crossing my fingers for luck

A million would do fine however 1.3 bn would do even better-I don't think I have that much of luck.

When you win remember it was me who was the first one to wish you luck :)

Winning 1.3 BN? Gee, I don't know...




...I'm not sure I want to have to cut back on my current lifestyle...

Instead of these unreasonably large lotteries, I would like to see a lottery that if you win, they just pay off your mortgage.


That way more people could win.


I suspect that a lot of people are like me... If I did not have a mortgage my financial outlook would be pretty good.

Probably changing your name, hiding from family members, moving to Costa Rica and using some of it during toilet paper shortages!:O:

A question

These 1.3bn is that what you can win or does IRS have to get their 40% of it first?

:huh::shifty::roll::yep::wah::damn::mad:

The Feds take 24% right off the bat!
Then the States step in. Ohio would take 4%
Then some Cities would take some. Depending where you live.
So if you take a lump sum payout? You'd be taxed on $608.9 Million.
Note that any Ransom you'd have to pay on kidnapped family comes outta that also.

No, I'd still shop on facebook marketplace for deals, and use coupons for fast food. :har:

Well this is suspicious. Drawing delayed? First they delay the results of votes, and now it's the lottery. All I can say is Hunter better not win. :D
