Mega Millions/Powerball/Idiot Tax

[LostLassie]

The wife paid our $2 idiot tax this morning.

Favorite joke I've heard about the lottery: It's a special tax for people who don't understand mathematics.

OK, but if I win, BuckeyePlanet gets an endowment -- then you can laugh.

Wife and I bought a ticket last night on our way home from dinner. We were like "We spend $2 on a large fry at McDonalds a couple times a week, so what the heck." If we would have won, BP would have gotten a few thousand right away, for sure.

32, 16, 19, 57, 34, Powerball 13

If there are no jackpot winners tonight, the jackpot will rise to $1.3 billion for Wednesday's drawing.

I always make plans for what I am going to do with the money. Problem is, I never buy a ticket. That will not be a problem for Weds, I will have a few tickets lol.

1.3 billion dollars.

1.3 billion dollars.

I know its still a shitton of money but damn man... gov gonna get theirs

 

[scarletmike]

Still less than you'd pay in taxes if you managed to live to see the end of the annuity payments, which is even more ridiculous.

There goes a meal at McDs to the idiot tax from the wife and I. Hey, we can dream of finally getting to Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong, right?

 

[Saw31]

Suckers.













I'm the one that's gonna win.

 

[scarletmike]

Still not a millionaire.

It started out well with my kid's birthday (8) and then Eddie's number. Then.......not so much. Guess I'll go to work tomorrow.

Who's playing next week? Or is 20 million beneath you.

Me - with the same $10 I play every other Wednesday like normal....I only play back to back weeks when it hits.

Up to three winning tickets sold...the winners will probably be pissed because they now have to split $1.5B three ways.
