I want all of you to know that if I win, and the Pats make it to the Super Bowl, I'm buying out a section of seats at Levi's Stadium and you're all coming with me.
Except Da Bruinz. Cause he thinks I'm a dumb dumb about what an offensive pick play is.
That is all.
So...are you declining or...?Not sure what you mean by this. Please clarify. Lotteries are a form of regressive tax on the poor. I consider it my duty to protest against them and want them abolished. I find it abhorrent that things like the public education system in some states is being funded largely from the wages of the poorest and most destitute in the country be preying on their poverty and need for hope. If lotteries were abolished, the regular progressive tax system will have to be adjusted to fill the balance and the poor will be vastly better off. Those earning less than $15k per year spend on average approximately 5% of their annual wages on lotteries. It's despicable.
After taxes the winner would have at least 3/4 of a billion dollars.
Just so people here aren't making firm plans with bad information. After taxes:
- The 30 year annuity payment is about $25M per, depending on where you live
- The lump sum payout is about $460M, also depending on where you live.
considering inflation and the investment opportunities you should always take the lump sum.
In fact if i won that I would take the lump sum and use it to start my own lottery! That is where the really money is anyway
