No winner on mega millions 3-27 Who's playin Friday?

[rod]

Here is something I just saw....

A little off topic, but related.

If the US government won, the full 540 million would be spent in.........

80 minutes.

Sadly I'm sure the same is true of some people. The list of lottery winners who blow their fortune on drugs and living the high life only to be broke after a few years is pretty long.

Just for fun......

Let's say your the winner holding a single ticket for the grand prize of the now current $640 million dollars.

Pretty cool.

$640m prize amount
462 cash value lump sum
-161.7 federal tax at 35%
- 47.6 state tax at 10.3% (calif)
- 6.7 medicare at 1.45%
ssi tops out at 110k, so no real impact
________
$246m net

All numbers are best guess and likely not exact, but gives you an idea. The lottery withholds 20% fed, but the winner must still pay the other 15% at tax time.

$246m is life changing, but a far cry from $640m.

My daughter in Vegas told me that the line in Primm, just across the Nevada border was about a 3 hour wait for tickets. They don't have the lottery in Vegas and they have to come across the state line to participate in CA. lottery..

Just stopped at a store on the way home from work. It buzzing with people buying the tickets.
Glad they had two lines. Lottery and other. Everyone is hoping they are the one. Just like the movie
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory looking for those golden tickets.

Here is a fact : The amount to be won would take the average American 10800 years to work and earn it.
The US government however spends it in 1 hr and 15 minutes.
