900,000,000*.07 = 63,000,000 in state taxes. He’s moving to Fl., no state income tax.

I decided to quite paying the lottery in October and invest the $4 per week I was spending instead.

Then, I remembered to go to my wallet and check the last ticket I bought and actually found out it won $4.

What should I do? Cash it in? Or buy two more tickets?

Unclaimed lotto wins should be returned to the lottery pool. IOW, if there is an unclaimed $100 million prize, and the next drawing after that one expires would have been $50 million, then it becomes $150 million. As I see it, the states didn’t buy a damned ticket and shouldn’t have any claim over those who did.

The winners are a group of people. They are in talks (trying to agree) with their lawyers if they want a lump sum or payment over time.
