USA: Mega Millions Jackpot $640 million! - 3 Winners Announced

[Northstar]

All countries have their issues.

But all counties have tax issues.

Than take it to the Tax thread.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah let's not do this in my thread please.

If you don't have anything nice to say, please go elsewhere.

*waits for winning numbers*

 

[Northstar]

I think their website crashed.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yeah it does that.

Don't think the numbers are supposed to be up yet though.

Edit: They have been. Be right back!

Edit: Didn't win.

 

[cmbeal317]

Same here, maybe no one else will hit it and I can try again Friday.

 

[Grayfox]

Do not bother checking the website.

It fails to load here when it is a $30,000,000 lotto, can't think how it will be their for the $300,000,000 lotto.

Did you get any division?

 

[Northstar]

I WON!!!








$5

At least I made a profit as I bought it with my last ticket, which was also a $5 winner. Hopefully nobody won the big prize.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Their website is working again, but the new numbers aren't up. I got the numbers from a news page.

 

[RocZX]

Where did you get the winning numbers from ? Every thing is from the 23rd not the 27th.

The numbers have to be in order, correct? They can't be spread out over all the lines?

 

[RocZX]

Each line is a separate game, the numbers have to be all on one line to win.


I didn't win anything

 

[CodeRedR51]

I got 2 on one line, but missed the mega ball so had a chance to get my money back and that's it.

 

[ZohsixGT5]

I won..... Nothing.

Back to my poor life as an American with air conditioning, clean water, and paved roads. *sigh*

 

[a6m5]

I usually don't even check it until the Jackpot's gone. If nobody's won, I'll get some again for Friday(right?).

That is how it is normally done, if the jackpot is un-won it will be higher next draw

Oh, yeah, I know that. The question mark was for the drawing days. I just wasn't 100% sure that it was Tuesday & Friday. I'm pretty certain of it now. 👍

 

[Solid Lifters]

Nobody won. It's now $476 million.

Me and my coworker has a deal: If one of us ever win a big jackpot, winner buy the other guy a rifle.

Same deal, Solid?

If I win, I'll buy you a bunch of rifles. But, if you win you put my two boys through college. Deal?

How many is a "bunch"? I think we have a handshake deal, Solid. Or is this a online contract?

A 'bunch' is a buttload.

It's a deal and contract. I even spit in my hands.

Whatever it takes, dude. I'll be looking forward to Friday. Good night!

 

[Grayfox]

Whats the tax rate on $476,000,000?

What is the highest lotto prize given out in the US?

Good night.

No idea, but this near the top, that's all that matters.

The tax rate on that, though. Scary just thinking abut it.

EDIT: Just confirmed, it's the largest.

 

[CodeRedR51]

A news release I was reading earlier said the tax rate on the cash option for the previous jackpot was 25%. Not sure if that's a fixed number or if it goes up as the jackpot goes up.

This is getting crazy.

 

[niky]

Who can I pay to bet for me?

With that much money, I might actually consider moving back to that hellhole...

 

[AOS-]

Make that 150 hot wheels, man...

 

[eSZee]

3hrs after the drawing and they already announced no winners? Ridiculous.

 

[niky]

Yeah... computers, y'know?

 

[AOS-]

3hrs after the drawing and R1600Turbo still hasn't announced that he's won? Ridiculous.

I want hot wheels
