>>16438167I did the math once.
>The odds are about 1 in 500,000,000.>But really 1 in 1,000,000,000 because tickets are $2.>If you get "lump sum" you get 52% of the "jackpot".>Federal Income tax is currently about 30% max.>Some shit hole states (like California) charge 10% max income tax.So you need about 4.8 billions jackpot to "break even". We have the jewyest government in all the world. Even jewyer than Israel.
I heard that Europe has some incredibly large lottery, and you get the whole stated jackpot and 100% tax free. Anyone know about this?
