If I win the lottery…

[Writers Bloque]

Great idea and a fabulous house, WB. But what's that poking out of the back on the righthand side. Looke a bit overkill for AC?

Its the Rutherglen Mansion in Longview, Washington state. It was a mansion until it was sold to a nice man, who converted it into a bed and breakfast. Stayed there a couple of times when I could afford it, and it hosted a friends wedding reception. That's the full service kitchen, that vent is from the two stove hoods, to keep the smoke and grease from filling the air. The place is a quiet swanky, the views from the balcony is breathtaking. Fucked my wife once on it, in the very early morning just as the sky was lightening up for the morning. The owner stepped in when the manager complained to him about someone barely seeing us fucking against the railing. The owner said he took his wife there many times too. Its just too irresistible of a spot to not fuck in. Though he did scold me, ultimately it became a running joke between us ever since. "You checking in, or just want to rent the balcony?" lol

to be honest, I would do all I posted then make some investments to grow the fortune bigger. Then when I have more than enough, I will start paying peoples mortgages off, until no one in the entire city and county will owe a dime for their lands. Once thats done, I want to rent three semi trucks and on Christmas Eve, filled with toys of all types, and I want to stand on the lead truck like santa and pass out toys. Just gather all the kids up, and let them choose what they want, and I will have the elves wrap them up for under the tree. Because there were times when I was a kid when all we got was some candy and an IOU. And there were times when my oldest daughter only got Christmas because my mom stepped up and sold a lot of her signs and windchimes at an arts and crafts show. The feeling of not even being able to give my baby daughter something under the tree hurts deep. So I want to set out to see to it that the only tears shed on Christmas Day are of happiness. Thats my ultimate dream. Not for back pats, praise, or rewards. I wont even stick around if the news shows up. Just one drop of kindness in the ocean of life.

After reading that, I'm rooting for you to win WB

That looks like 40% tax or thereabouts. Our national lottery is much smaller and the jackpot rollover is capped at 5. But we aren't taxed on it thank goodness.

That looks like 40% tax or thereabouts. Our national lottery is much smaller and the jackpot rollover is capped at 5. But we aren't taxed on it thank goodness.

In the US of A, the highest marginal income tax rate of 37 percent hits taxpayers, both individuals and corporations, for gross income above $539,900 for single filers and above $693,750 for married couples filing jointly.

I’ve never won the lottery, but the IRS shows up at any meeting to collect winnings at Lottery Headquarters, I’m told. So I just assume they’re going to put a claim on 37% of the winnings. If you live in a state with a state income tax, like our Upper Midwest friends, they also take out state income tax. Texas does not have a state income tax. Lucky me.

Puttin' On the Ritz

If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the Ritz

Different types who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million-dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue?
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars

Spending every dime for a wonderful time

Seeing the "Puttin' On The Ritz" lyrics first brought my mind to "Young Frankenstein" and Peter Boyle singing and dancing that song.

A few years later as wife and I were preparing for our annual Halloween party we found a small animatronic doll that looked like that and sang the song. There was another similar doll that looked like a skeleton can't remember what that one sang.

Wife proceeded to costume each of us to look just like each doll. We and the dolls were the centerpieces for that year's party.

I need to find the song and watch it again on YouTube. There is one little riff where Gene Wilder turns to his chauffeur and says, “put it in the car.” And the chauffeur turns to the valet and repeats, “put it in the car.” And the valet turns to the poor lobby boy who’s holding all of the boxes and says, “put it in the car.” Little ear worm I’ve had all day.

ESTIMATED JACKPOT
$1.55 Billion

CASH VALUE
$679.8 Million

[MintJulie]

Not understanding why cash value is so low.  It usually is a little lease than half of the estimated total. 


This should be more in the 700-725 range. 
I think it has to do with interest rates.   

But Megamillions is still proportionately right.  Powerball is whackadoodle

[Pornhubby]

I think it has to do with interest rates.   

Bingo. As interest rates go up, net present value declines. The cash value is an estimate of what an annuity would cost to fund the annual payouts. That’s what the lotto people do. So they are giving you what they would spend to fund the annuity. Good luck doing better. More or less.

I really love my French Press, but if I win the lottery, I'm getting one for me, and one for each of you....
