I always have a 'kwikpic' ticket in the game when its above the $500 million mark!

Here's hopin'; though I haven't a clue what I'd spend it on at age 73...as I've already got all the toys I can handle!??

Do I feel lucky ? Not exactly but who knows a dollar here or a dollar there my come my way-Winning the jackpot! I'm not aiming that high.

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

vienna · 04-06-24, 03:04 PM

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!

A question

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

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.

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.
