When I win my 1.6 billion, only people who have repped me get to come party on my private island full of sexy ladies.

Plus $1 billion...

As a general rule, I don't gamble (if you'll concede that poker is a game of skill). Boru

Here in PA, much of the purchase of lottery tickets and lottery scratch offs goes to our aging population and programs geared towards them such as reduced co-pays on medications, meals on wheels programs, senior rides to doctors and senior centers can get funds for their various activities.

So I tend not to play poker unless I'm really drunk. There might be a connection between those two things. Oddly enough the same holds true of strip poker.
Well then the accountant that did our taxes last year was wrong.

Have I got this right? If you win the jackpot and want what you have won, you have to be paid in instalments, or they rip you off and give you $900,000,000. How rude.

The taxes are taken out right then instead of over thirty years. End result is the same unless tax rates change over the three decades. |
