    Yeah, pretty ridiculous money. Just live off the interest alone. Right now the estimated jackpot is $476 million with a cash option of $341 million. So if you won and elected the lump sum payment of $341 million you would have to pay 25% federal tax and then state tax, here in Colorado where I live it's 4%. So 29% taken away would be roughly $100 million you would have to pay in taxes leaving you with $241 million in money you would actually get. Now do your savings account interest math on that and you'd be making around 30 cents a second....

    odds of iwin actually paying out $1,000,000 to the posters in this thread are probably worse than the odds of winning in the first place

    um not to burst your bubble but i don't think that would be a good idea. even if you weren't swimming naked the grey goose would get all up in your asshole, peehole, etc and burn like a mother.

    If I won that much money I'd probably be dead within 6 months from excessive celebration.

    i can think of about a million reasons why someone wouldn't pay $1 million to total strangers on a non legally-binding agreement (no consideration).

    even if you plan on paying it, after you win $500 million split 3 ways and realize it's only $70 million or so immediately after taxes, that $1 million looks like a pretty big number to give away.

    not sure why most websites use 25% federal taxes. top federal tax bracket is 35% which is what almost all of it would be taxed at.

    so rough numbers you "win $500 million" but net in wisconsin (7.5% tax here) is $196 million now. false advertising.
    not sure where anyone could get 4% interest on that big a number, let's go with 10 year treasuries at 2%, that's about $2.5 million/year after taxes each year in interest income.

    nothing to sneeze at, but winning $500 million still leaves you making less/year than a lot of people make which is kind of sick
