Lottery Fever: Have you caught it? Who would be the first escort you would call?

[BuffaloKyle]

Funny story, there is a provider I have hired in the past that stopped escorting. I still talk to him though as he's on chaturbate. I told him the one day that I came close actually to winning quite a big jackpot. He told me he'd have no problem doing a session for me if I win big. 🤣

Powerball jackpot climbs to $1.7 billion for Christmas Eve drawing

The current jackpot is estimated to be $1.7 billion for the drawing on Christmas Eve Wednesday, after there was no winner in Monday's drawing.

The numbers from Monday's drawing were 3, 18, 36, 41 and 54. The Powerball was 7 and the Power Play multiplier was 2x.

A player who wins the Powerball jackpot can choose between the lump sum payment or an annuity option, in which one immediate payment is received, followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.

Here in NY, the lump sum after federal ($463,281,980) and state taxes nets $383,134,280. Of course that's a life changing amount, but far less than the advertised.

Thank goodness I live in two states with no personal income or capital gains taxes!

There’s another option to maintain anonymity. One could draw up a new trust to receive the winnings. I live in two of them.

Many states don't allow lottery winners to remain anoymous if they win. They are California, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin, plus Washington, D.C.

 

However, according to World Population Review, some of those states allow lottery winners to establish a trust or LLC to claim their winnings anonymously. They are Connecticut, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Washington.

I suppose as a Canadian I would be able to claim back the tax by filing a US tax return, but I don't currently live close enough to the border to make a trip across the line worth it for a 1 in 290 million chance at winning.
