HUGE lottery jackpot! Megamillions and Powerball jackpots combine for $1.2 billion US

[pastarocket]

-RS Group buy for the biggest combined lottery jackpot ever in the US?

Feeling lucky?

If you won both jackpots or either one of the Megamillions or Powerball, how would you spend the jackpot?

FYI, Canadian winners pay 30 percent withholding tax to the IRS. State taxes may also be applicable.

Feeling lucky? Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots combined are now more than $1.2 BILLION

There was no winner in Tuesday's Mega Millions lottery drawing.

That means the jackpot for Friday's drawing is now at least $868 million or a cash lump sum of $494.5 million. It will be the largest jackpot in the game's history and the second largest in the US lottery jackpot history.

The Mega Millions jackpot beat its own record once again after no ticket matched all the six numbers in the drawing Tuesday night. The winning numbers on Tuesday were 69, 45, 61, 3, 49, and the Mega Ball was 9.

Friday's Mega Millions along with Wednesday's Powerball jackpot, which stands at $345 million, are worth more than a cool billion dollars.

I would use the money to pay all the VI's that have been issued recently. Hopefully I'll have enough after taxes.

From the last time this was a craze:

Powerball lottery: 5 things Canadians need to know
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/power...ings-1.3401641
1. Buying your ticket online could backfire
2. U.S. law could bar from you from bringing your ticket back
3. Canada won't tax your winnings
4. You absolutely cannot win on Facebook
5. You probably won't win, anyway

Go to Point Roberts, fill the tank, and buy a ticket. Who knows ... all you need is one entry and the rest is up to the lottery gods.

I thought you can get the taxes back after applying to IRS.

Once a Canadian wins a big jackpot, those 'muricans gonna freak out, lol.

I go once a week to Bellingham/Burlington. Hopefully nobody wins the next one until I buy a ticket. If I win, yray gets a million.



EDIT: mud0c and flip, too........... I mean, two.

[punkwax]

Brb creating new users mud0c and flip

[freakshow]

brb.. using mod powers to change name to yray

[yray]

you can change your name but you can't by yray

you gotta talk out of your ass

[MG1]

yray, my word is good as gold................


When you win that much, a million is a drop in the bucket.


I'm not greedy. That's why I retired early. Gotta give the young people the jobs. I've had my run. I grew up poor and found my way out of poverty. Not rich, but enough to live comfortably.

If I come into all that money, it's a sign that I need to share it.

[Mr.Money]

you could trust me with 1 million dollars,i promise it wont go to liquor and whores

[danned]

buy allthe marijuana for goods

[Badhobz]

You know what I would do ? I'd buy a couple of acres on Mitchell island and then that into a track. Finally a race track that isn't 2-5 hours away from the city. I'd then charge a reasonable amount of money to let people use it.

[MG1]

Until someone does something stupid and lawyers up.............

So sad, you can't do anything without someone fucking it up. Don't forget to install a roof, so the track can be used all year long. Oh, and no pro's (NHRA) allowed. Just your average ricer and whatnot.

Berz and I will be there like 24/7.


VI free zone, lol.

[dachinesedude]

for reals though, would you rather win small (couple mill) and continue on with your normal life or win huge (couple hundred mill) and have to disappear from everyone you know of

[BIC_BAWS]

I feel like at a couple hundred mil, you're gonna have to hire bodyguards and roll around in armored vehicles to prevent kidnappings.

[R1CED`]

you can get the IRS withholding back, yes
your family will probably be kidnapped before that happens though

I already have a pretty secluded life so give me mega millions and get me the fuck out of here.

Berz out.

[Mr.Money]

MegaMillions the pot is now 1.6 BILLION!

so IRS wants a 30% cut so that leaves how much left and converted to cad dollars

[Jmac]

Exchange rate is pretty close to the tax rate.

Also, if you take the immediate payout for MegaMillions, it's about 57% of the jackpot.
