first, get a different alias because everyone is gonna want a piece of you if you win, you are gonna have people that claim they knew you from kindergarten wanting a piece... second, travel down to some 3rd world countries, and rebuild regoins, villages, do what you can, give back at least half because how much money is too much money? Third, take care of my family for life, and with the rest, buy a portion of a B-ball team, and eventually start up a political campaign and run for office..

Just curious.

When is/was the drawing for the $200mil. If it happened, did anybody win?

What is the closest powerball state to NJ/NYC.

Thanks,
MIchael

That map is a bit old. I think PA and a couple others may have joined in.

Out of a $215 mil jackpot, you'd probably clear around $65 million.

- Taking the lump sum (the only sane way to do it), you get about 55% of the jackpot (118.3 mil), but all at once. Wise investments can save on taxes, and you don't have to deal with the bizarre estate tax laws should the winner die.
- Federal taxes - 40% more (71.4 mil)
- State taxes - about 7% (66.4 mil)

Of course, anyone who couldn't make do off of $66 million needs a severe reality check

If I sent money to an old friend to buy some tickets for me, would she honestly purchase the tickets and give me the winnings... or keep it all for herself In which case, I would be making her rich AND screwing myself. But if I don't send money, I can't possibly win.
