Nice. I'm debating the power ball this weekend.

They didn't collect in person and claimed it as an LLC.
Now I can't ask them for money. ;-)

Yeah, but how much are they allowed to keep after taxes?
About a hundred and forty bucks?

If I were to split my winnings with my 2 adult children and we all claimed the prize together, would I have to claim it as a gift? Would I need to fib and say we all went in on the ticket? |

I'd be happy with 1% of that.

I'll admit that I went out & bought a Powerball ticket tonight, and even DD got her very first one. We'll let you know if our numbers come up.  |

I would've told you if we won, but we didn't get a single number of the winning numbers. Oh well, back to normal...

My dad plays when either Powerball or Megamillions gets over $1 million. He is always sure he is the winner. He spends a lot of time figuring out how he will divide it up.
In our state, you can not remain anonymous. You can set up a trust or LLC, but you have to appear at the press conference. Some of the winners here have refused to answer questions.
Mom hated when dad played the lottery. We figure he's 92 and it's his money. She threw away so much money on cigarettes. He enjoys it. Spend it if he wants to.

Powerball resets to $40M after the jackpot is won and Mega Millions resets at $15M. |

We play when it gets over $50million or so. I also join the pool at work whenever they do one. We won $12 last week so we decided to buy more tickets with those winnings since there were so many people participating.

Powerball resets to $40M after the jackpot is won and Mega Millions resets at $15M. I typed that incorrectly. It has to be $100 million before he will play. Sometimes, he will play at $95 million. He doesn't play scratch off games. Just Powerball and Megamillions. |

Maybe $50 million is mere chump change you find in the couch cushions. |

A 92 year old man doesn't do logic very well.  I do not get it either, but I do buy lottery tickets either. |
