108 Million..... Still isn't FU money according to some people.

It's really not since you can't even touch a true mega yacht for that.

To me that would be plenty. FU money is relative to lifestyle. As always for some its never enough.

Its says $108 million, but if you take the lump sum, they only give you like $76 million or something like that. Then you pay income tax on top of that. Still a good haul, but long way shy of $108 million.

If I had a ticket a won in Washington State (no state income tax), after taking the lump sum penalty and paying federal income tax. I'd be left with around $53 million. Almost half the $108 million jackpot. Canada doesn't tax lotto winnings and our last jackpot was $70 million. No lump sum penalty and no income tax. Id rather win our lotto.

most states don't collect state income tax on lottery winnings. Calif does not take state income tax on lotto winnings.

Good to know. I only buy tickets in Washington State, a no state income tax state. Still after paying the lump sum penalty and then federal income tax. $53 million is getting further away from fuck you money.

Id want to buy a house in my current area. In my hood just for a decent house your looking at $3 million minimum: https://www.rew.ca/properties/areas...le_id=296&top_level_searchable_type=Geography Buy a few toys and invest the rest doesn't leave very much to live on!

I never win crap.....

I'd be happy to win "a dollar 3 80"

 

[LuauLounge]

Who in their right mind would admit that they won among this group of vultures?

 

[nameisbond]

I have better luck on scratch and win tickets. Its fun to play them, gives me the rush of gambling. I've won $50 and $100 a few times this month.

Always take payments. NOT lump sum. You can always borrow lumps against your payments for less interest / tax. Plus you get set up better manage the money and I believe the lotto still holds 10% of the winnings for the last 2 years of your 20 year plan.

I’ve known two lotto winners. One won 5.5 mil and is still doing well. Other won 19 mil lived like a rock star fucked his back up got hooked on pain killers, got burned for a bunch of money through poor investments and spending, went broke, started using heroin instead of pain pills, robbed 15 banks, went to prison. Just got out a few months ago. I do believe he’s still do the last 1.5 mil of his winnings. Dude needs to write a book.

I can confirm we are not, wifey tends to buy tix at random places so had to check with her first. Keepin' an eye out though cuz all she said was "we" didn't win.

A girl in my class in grade 7, her dad won $2 million. It was 83/4, so it was a lot of money at the time. Her dad blew through the money and bankrupted his plumbing business.

The most I've won so far is $1k on scratch tickets. I like scratch tickets because its more like gambling in excitement.

My grandmother lost her license in her late 60s but still walked about a mile and a half twice a week to buy a quick pick. She spent two bucks a week and I honestly believe those walks extended her life by years if not a decade. Gave her a reason to get up, get dressed, and get out.
I still buy one every month or so just to remember. I don't pay for the chance to win. I pay so I can dream what if.
