Why? It’s Berz. Nobody gonna mess with him. Plus, you can build a fortress there. Bunkers with secret passages, a helo pad, you name it. Hell, you can build your own runway.

Dang. What's with the bonus number being the same as one of the draw numbers?

We have a winner! The winning ticket for the Mega Millions jackpot is in South Carolina.


1.537 billion US. That is 878 million US after taxes. :awwyeah:

I believe 878 is the lump sum amount. Winner will still get taxed on the 878 if taking the lump sum.

If they take the full payout, it would be $1.537B over 29 years, which is $53M per year.. I would probably still take the lump sum, but $53M per year isn't bad..

Is anyone gonna buy a ticket for the Powerball lottery? 750 million US. The lump sum payout after taxes is $428.6 million.

MG1, are you buying a Powerball ticket?

MG1 10-26-2018 05:57 PM

I guess? I’m in Bellingham on Mondays. I just get them at the ticket dispenser in Fred Meyers.
