I see where somebody won the $7oo million lottery prize. Lucky dude.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I'm glad I made my small contribution to the person that won.

The winning ticket was sold in my state. But it wasn't me who played and won it.

 

[Ken N Tx]

One winner, a woman, $758.5 million!!!

 

[RadishRose]

She was on the news, said she called work this morning and said she won't be coming back.

 

[Manatee]

If they restructured the Lottery, 758 people could have become millionaires. I never play it because of the odds.

In the UK if you win anything there is NO tax to pay...zero, zilch none..... I know in the USA you have to pay tax on winnings in many states. Does anyone know how much tax this woman would have to pay on that humongous amount?

40% of what she actually collects. Which is higher than the average income tax.

It was a dude-ette. A widow whose husband died last year in an accident or so I read.

The IRS took more than half so the winner ended with around $350,000,000. Not bad. nthego:

 

[hollydolly]

Yes I wouldn't sneeze at that amount CHic...of course not....but MY goodness it seems a lot of money to be given to the government in taxes on winnings ... what do they do with that money, does anyone know?

 

[Sassycakes]

I can't even imagine what it would be like to win that much money. I was telling my son-in-law how I would spend the money. I said I would give the entire family 10 million dollars a piece. He laughed and said well that's a good way to spend 100 million dollars , but what would you do with the rest of the money ? So I'm sure if we would have won the money I wouldn't be the one to divide it.
