I'm not sure about the taxes on this. BUT, if you hit it, I think you'd still be a billionaire. That's a lot of money.
I think I'm going to buy a few.

Never bought a lottery ticket. Better chance of getting hit by lightning twice on Tuesday than hitting the lottery.

Uncle Sam will want 37%, plus your state will want their share. If you take the one time lump sum it will be $753 million, less taxes.

Somebody is going to win it. And sometime, most times actually, more than one win.

Ah well, if it's only $753 million, - taxes, it's almost worth not buying one.

They were talking about this on radio yesterday morning. You would net after taxes about $400,000,000 million. Completely ridiculous what the government takes.

And personally I will not buy a ticket due to ridiculous taxes. It just one major con job of the public. People are just giving away their money in hopes of getting a lot for a little.

If the prize was $400 million, no tax paid, would you buy one then?
