The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $1.35 billion –
the second-largest in the lottery’s history – after no winner snagged
the big prize in Tuesday night’s drawing, officials said.

That’s a boost from Tuesday’s jackpot of $1.1 billion, which saw
no tickets match all six winning numbers of 7, 13, 14, 15, 18 and
the Mega Ball 9.

While no ticket matched the jackpot drawing, 16 won the game’s
second-tier prize taking home up to $3 million.

Which, if the WEF has its way, about 2 years.

Sounds good as long as I can get new set covers for my Xterra and maybe some new carpet covers.

Should 13 be the mega number, there’s going to be a LOT of smaller prize winners.

Big transfer of wealth from lottery gamblers to government. When they can’t meet their needs, they’ll blame the Republicans.

I see your Cavalier and raise you an AMC Pacer. It’s always a hit with the ladies.

I'd retire and be a full time Scoutmaster. Cash value of 600mm = 300mm after taxes. ...buy a bunch of tax free munis and move to TX, FL or other zero state income tax states and have fun.

Unfortunately, I'd also have to make my CPA and lawyer rich because they'd spend a year figuring out how to avoid estate taxes and setting up charities, LLCs, etc.

Just think of all the security you have to hire to protect family members (even down to cousins etc) from kidnappings etc...

They’re wrong. I have the winning ticket. I’ve already bought the place on Martha’s Vineyard next door to Osama Obama’s place. We’ll be neighbors! Maybe I can hire him and that Wookie he’s with to do some landscaping for me.

Pshh! My Pinto’s 2.3L needs new valves. I think if I rebuild the top half I can get 100HP out of that baby! wooo!

I’m also thinking about getting the gas tank lowered

No state income tax in Washington. Cash value is currently $707.9 million and after federal tax = $446 million +/-.

My guess is another Californian wins it. Can’t figure out why that state has an income tax and a millionaire tax, but they don’t tax lottery winnings.
