In the US, it's only the est $900 Million if you take the amount over 30 years. otherwise the lump sum is around 60% of the $900 mill. which would be like ~$560, of which taxes get taken off. which is another 40% off.
so you are left with around $340Million USD. still a shit load of money.
The ticket costs $2 and it's a 1 in 292 million probability. its still not a fair bet.

Yesterday it was est at $800m with $495 Cash value, meaning thats the take home after the taxing.. then using that to convert into CAD comes to around $700m..
dont forget that Canadian Government wants 30% piece of that pie.. so roughly around $480m?
Tonight, its gona hit 1Billion, im pretty darn sure...
at then end, you still get more then winning MAX...
Came back this morning.. too 30mins to get thru PT Roberts crossing.. got $40 fuel and $30 Powerball tix

or is it that only canadian lottery winnings are not taxable?

Even US lottery, I dont think it's taxable income in Canada. Win big? Not so fast, says the taxman - The Globe and Mail | |

Got my ticket.
Pretty sure you still get taxed as a Canadian but you can file to get some of it back. Still don't think you keep 100% though.

Given the amount of jackpot, who fucking cares how much taxes I will have to pay?

thought they raised the non-resident lottery tax to 40% (federal) not including state taxes?
edit: Quote: |
Depending on your other income and the amount of your winnings, your federal tax rate may be as high as 39.6%. Your lottery winnings may also be subject to state income tax. Thus, depending on where you live, your total tax bill could exceed 50%. You don't get any capital gains rate break for lottery winnings.
| no state taxes in Washington though  not sure how accurate that is

I can't believe some people deliberately go down to the states to buy powerball tickets under the disguise of buying gas.
The odds are worse than lottomax!

I was speaking to my friend just now about it, he's wrapping up an open house in white rock, and got him to go down to buy tickets for us 
he was sold on the idea of tickets, but the gas was the cherry on the top for him

Still no winner for today's draw.
The next jackpot is estimated at 1.3billion... fuck... you win it (assuming only one winner), instant billionaire.
That's it, I'm buying tomorrow.

So what is the percentage of tax? Doesnt CDN government tax this as income..
The jackpot is estimated at 1.3billion with 806million as cash value.. is the cash value after the US taxes?

You can buy them online, from the specific state's lottery site.... Mind you if you did win you'd have to go to that same state to claim.
