About the REAL payout of that Lottery jackpot
The Reality of Powerball

Yes, mathematically it looks good to buy a ticket for a $1.4 billion draw when you have a 1-in-~292 million shot at winning..

But only actual cash in hand winnings matter..
The rest is a fictitious "time value" figure predicated on an annuity, if you do not take lump sum.
That is money in the future, not money today, in hand.

So a cash payout would be around $868 million
then you pay taxes. 39.6% federal, and only 25% is withheld when you get the check.
Plus any state income taxes.

The 868 million assumes you are the ONLY winner.
But as the prize gets bigger, the buying frenzy that develops for each ticket increases the odds of a multiple winner.

Plus, last year the Powerball changed the odds, decreasing them by about half, of hitting the jackpot.

Not that a few million is something to sneeze at.
And eventually people DO win lotteries.

The above is just another way to look at it.

From the "no shit Sherlock" file.

10. If I hit it (snicker) I think I will be ok

With a few million.

Yes, we do buy a ticket when it crosses a threshold. It's nice to have some fun we are aware of the odds by the way.And yes, I have been hit by lightning (inside a car) twice in my life.

I would suggest maybe on the scientists table.

When God is trying to tell you something, you should listen.

Maybe it's all the snoopers, scanners, and electrical gear she carries around with her.

Complete and utter morons, all of them.

The cash value is not arbitrary, you ****ing moron, it is the present value of the 30-year cash flow at a certain discount rate. Of course, since DUmmies live hand-to-mouth (and mouth-to-ass), why would anyone expect them to understand that money later is not the same as money today?

As for the taxes, I thought DUmmies LOVED to pay them, all of them, every last nickel?

As for sharing the winnings, I thought DUmmies LOVED the idea of collective wealth?

What a bunch of stupid dicks.

The good Lord fired off two warning bolts.
A third, will not be.


I hope it doesn't blow her panties off.   :panic:

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

     I suspect a lightning bolt might be the ONLY thing that would blow her panties off, which are probably attached to her nethers on a molecular level due to neglect, misuse, disinterest, and general grossness.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
