Anywhere supermarket 7-11 gas station.


I guess this means I didn't win the 120 mill last night.

what the heck could I possibly do with $72 million dollars???????

hmmmmm...I don't know, but I'm sure if I won it wouldn't take me long to figure it out!!!!

Approximate take home if you get the 1 time payment:

$144million / 2 = $72 mil

$72 mil - 48% gift tax = $37.5 million take home ...

That's a very loose calculation ...


Now what would you do with $37.5 million dollar? hmmmm

Wait - why did you divide $144 by 2?

Re: Tax Day Mega Millions up to $144M

From what I understand, if you take a 1 time payment versus an annuity it ends up being like 1/2 the amount of the face value of the win.
With an annuity the lottery keeps a bulk of the money and invests it making money on it, so the $144 is what you'll receive in over say 20 years.

I thought the 48% gift tax was all they took out??

I was doing a lump sum lotto ticket. If you took an annuity it would be different.
