Arvoitus 1 #13 May 19, 2013 What is the actual amount that person gets? I'm under the impression that in that lottery you can either choose to get the money over certain amount of decades (the jackpot) or you can choose to get some smaller lump sum immediately.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

sfzombie13 322 #19 May 20, 2013 with that much money, all you have to do is get a good tax lawyer to find out how to finagle the tax thing. i knew a guy once that won the lottery and ended up with some serious shit to avoid the bulk of the taxes. he told me what all he did once, but it could have been bs, i don't know._________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianmdrennan 2 #25 May 20, 2013 Yeah, I'm not 100% sure but I seem to recall reading that on one of the very few tickets I've ever bought. Makes sense, but still sucks for the winner. No anonymity, and with that kind of cash the vultures are going to be hounding him until he's broke or a recluse.
