Spaceman Spiff Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Looks like 1 person in Nebraska won. I only matched 1 number on 1 or 2 of my 6 tickets.
Hawk 34 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 I would just buy more lotto tickets.
Slayer Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Looks like 1 person in Nebraska won. Dear lord, not Carnival
CBright7831 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 I would use it to create my own Mechagodzilla, and then I would hold the world for ransom, and take even more money. I would be unstoppable! Seriously, who would want to fuck with that?
The Niggardly King Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 I would create a chair made out of only $100 bills. Maybe a couch too. I would just spend the rest like crazy.
Richard Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 http://www.rotten.com/library/culture/lottery-winners/ Some helpful advice just in case the big day comes.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 8 people who worked at a canned ham plant in Nebraska won, they all took the cash now (which is about half less than the total jackpot) so they each get $15.5 million after taxes. So in escence, a $365 million jackpot only ends up being $124 million after taxes taken out on for 8 people and their stupidity to take the lump sum pay out. I bet state/fed gov. love when multiple people win these huge payouts cause it means they get to collect more taxes than if just one person won.
Dobbs 3K Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Well, 15 million bucks is still a lot of money, but I always wonder why people take the lump sum pay out. I'd be willing to wait a few years if it meant making double or more what I could get right away. Sure, I couldn't use it all, but if I had kids, they'd be set for the rest of their own lives, too.
Dobbs 3K Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Further, to add to what I just said, why do people always reveal their names? If I ever won, I'd take all the steps I could to make sure no one other than my wife and closest relatives had any idea.
Slayer Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Well, annuity vs. lump sum depends on what kind of interest you can expect to garner from investments under an annuity plan, since $1M twenty years from now is almost guaranteed not to be as much as $1M today, so unless you can find an excellent return rate on potential investing of your annuity (a gamble in itself), you're essentially better off taking all the money now
The Metal Maniac Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I'd totally take annual payments, because it'd be like having a job where I did whatever the fuck I wanted and got paid a lot.
BruiserKC Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 First of all...I'm paying off all my bills. Mortgage, student loans, mini-van, everything...PAID IN FULL! Then I'm buying new cars for me and the wife, and a new, larger house. There's so fucking much I could do with that money it's not even funny but that would be a start.
Carnival Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 I'd buy slayer. Looks like 1 person in Nebraska won. Dear lord, not Carnival $$$$$$$ I'm buying slayer. $$$$$$$
