Picture a stack of pennies laid horizontally, so that the pennies are standing on edge and all touching. Now picture that line of stacked pennies is 300 miles long. Now picture just ONE of those pennies, somewhere in that 300 mile stack, has an "X" drawn on it, and you get to pick one penny out of the stack. Your chances of picking that penny are the same as your chances of winning this prize.

Good luck!
 
Better dream of saving your nation from alcoholism.
Why do you need a million dollars?

Facts

1. First off, you wouldn't be getting 1 billion dollars. You'd be getting around $600,000.00 IF you choose instant payout, which most people do. (taking monthly payments would be better, but you neve know if the state will change the rules on you and take it back or end it, which is why most people take the lump sum, which is always a lot less).

2. After paying legal fee's and taxes (you really need a lawyer to claim this amount of money for you and pay all the fees and state taxes on it) you will end up with about $280,000.

3. At the end of the year, you will have to pay federal taxes on it, which will reduce it even more.

4. You will be lucky to walk away with the actual cash value of $180,000 - $200,000

5. Which is better than nothing at all.

Another "fact" about lottery money


SUPPOSEDLY...........you want to play all the SMALLER lottery amount games, because everybody will be putting their money on the BIG JACKPOT instead of playing the smaller ones.

SUPPOSEDLY..........you have a much better chance of winning the smaller jackpots in other games during this time period, when most people will be playing the BIG one.

I've tested this theory out a few times during the past 10 years, and so far, it has not worked for me.

The lottery is a tax on people that don't understand statistics.
