The OFFICIAL Powerball and Megamillions thread:

[frink85]

Last couple of draws I’m getting a powerball number or two for a few bucks back. Give me at least 3 of the other numbers!

Do any of ya’ll do scratch offs as well?

Every week I play $70 in scratch offs.
I play 2 tickets of 200x ($10,000,000 grand prize) & 1 ticket of set for life ($5000 a week for life) every week.

I mostly lose, but once in a while I’ll win $75 up to $200. At the end of the year, it’s generally net a loss but only of a few hundred dollars. Hoping one day I get a claimer.

Folks are hurting and playing more. I’ve seen lines form for jackpots that aren’t bigger than 20 mil. They’re still buying their alcohol, blunts and chips but also tossing in some $5-$10 quick picks.

[frink85]

one of the local news outlets here in SoCal tried finding him by searching for "Edwin Castro" in the area they contacted one but it wasn't him.

minus Uncle Sam's cut.... It'd be around $500 million

Damn.

 

[TSCQ]

Uncle Sam got baby mama’s too.
Tell Ukraine she gotta chill.

 

[DB Cooper]

At least he’s from Cali. Won’t get hit with state tax.

 

[moonman818]

California for sure will hit him with the state tax

I believe it’s around 12% this year
