i'd just buy neccesities and a few luxuries
like a big hhouse for parents, and one for me,
a couple of nice cars to drive around
then spread some to close relatives

and then reinvest the rest in low risk investments since the pot is so big i'll just be rich off interest

If I win I'll buy a GTR and bring it to the RS meet. We can see how many launches we can do before the tranny dies. Then we will light the car on fire and do donuts in the ashes with a ZR1.

lottery winning are not taxed here, whereas they are in the states

paying it out all at once only nets u 80% of the pot i believe.

80% is what is allocated to the jackpot. Has nothing to do with getting paid out all at once.

the estimation comes from the way the jackpot is calculated. Winner gets 80% of the total fund, 5/6+bonus gives 5.75%, 5/6 gives 4.75%. You can't accurately determine totals when funds aren't finalized, and when prizes are paid out based on percents.
