+ Pensant Posted Wednesday at 02:09 PM Posted Wednesday at 02:09 PM Honestly, I would dread winning and having my name plastered all over the media. I know that some states allow the funds to be anonymously directed into a trust, but that’s rare. I’d rather win a 12 million dollar draw than a billion dollar one. + azdr0710 and + m_writer 1 1

Are they really prepared to pay 1 billion to the winner?😵💫 That's an incredible amount of money; someone will be very lucky.

In the US the full jackpot is not paid out unless it is done so over a lengthy time period, as an annuity. Most people likely opt for the 'lump sum' payment, which I believe is less than half the full amount, but you end up with somewhat less than $500M all at once. And then that gets taxed, so you probably end up with only half again. Still, $250M is not something to sneeze at. In Canada we are not taxed on our winnings. And our national lottery jackpots are paid in full as a lump sum. However, our jackpots are not allowed to grow to those levels like PowerBall - I think ours maxes out at $80M. But you get that $80M free and clear. The odds are also better for our lotteries - still a very, very, long shot, but not 1 in 290 million. + sync 1
TonyDown Posted Thursday at 06:47 PM Posted Thursday at 06:47 PM (edited) Haven't caught lottery fever, this time. My first inclination wouldn't be hiring a provider. I would find new places to live that I could travel to. Australia, Oregon Coast, Palm Springs, Scotland. Edited Thursday at 06:50 PM by TonyDown + azdr0710 1
