The Idiot Tax
I've heard the lottery called the idiot tax, because it's when we give government our money and get nothing (services, etc) in return. But the BIGGEST idiot tax has to be when you play the Power Ball and there is 1 Billion at stake, and at the end of the 30 years you get only 2/3 of that. If you get the cash payout, for my state it's about 290 Million. OUCH! Will I complain if I win. No. But it just sucks seeing all the potential leave and go away to some faceless bean count

New bill in Wisconsin could allow some lottery winners to remain anonymousReply
Protecting Social Security #, give me a break. That has been in effect that I know of Federally since 1974. Many years ago my hospital employer would print out the hours an individual worked. It included your SSAN for anyone to dig through the pile to see. Yearly we had surveys to fill out which were anonymous. Said in mine if someone steals mine in violation of Federal law and I'd sue. Well they quickly gave everyone an AHS # to use and no more SSAN used. Fast forward two visits ago goi

$925 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I think you are confusing the profit made from selling an asset called Capital Gains from interest earned from T.Bills and bonds. If you hold an asset for more than one year, the profit earned from disposing the same after one year (capital gains) are taxed at a max of 20% For T.Bill and Bonds, the interest paid out is treated as normal income and are Federally taxed as such up to 37% max. The same however are exempt from both State and Local Income tax. Municipal bonds are another o

OK, My Lottery Lovies, The possibility of a Government Shutdown has thrown a wrench in my plans. I've gotten more emails in a week than I get in a month. Work has been beyond anything I could ever imagine. Totally off the Richter Scale...

Winning North Carolina Pk4Reply
Hi Joe, The 2314 combination is pretty sneaky--it just kinda pops out there unexpectedly! I won $1,00 the first time it came out and kept it in--won $6,000 the second time that year. When I play--I play it every day but play 50/50. Good luck -- wish I knew the answer! The numbers I have won the most on two times is the 3215 combination--hit it twice for $13,000 each time (Five $1 tickets at 50/50). (Gotta love paying taxes! I don't worry about that--when I win big--I am thankful for the

$70 million Canada Lotto Max jackpot-winning ticket expiresReply
Did you read the article? While the winner may never see their $70 million prize, the awareness campaign resulted in over 1,100 calls to OLG's Customer Care Center with people claiming to have lost the ticket, the Lottery said. However, the Lottery is carefully considering each and every claim, meaning there might yet be a flicker of hope that one of those callers may be the real winner. and.. unclaimed prizes (not just jackpots) are returned to the pool (not handed over to the gove

VIDEO: May's Weekly Roundup in lottery newsReply
I believe it is not the state's job to hunt down lottery winners. If a person takes the time and money to buy a ticket, it shouldn't be that hard to go online and check the ticket. Only takes a minute and a couple of clicks. Can't speak for all states, but Tx Lottery does not keep unclaimed money. Unclaimed prizes revert back to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature, including the Foundation School Fund and Fund for Veterans' Assistance , which are the primary benefi
