Still going to be around 20 million or so. If they take the cash option, they will have around 195 million to split between 7 people, leaving them with around ~27 million each before taxes. NYS charges 8.9 percent and if I remember correctly I think federal tax for lotto winnings is around 25 percent. With all the taxes taken out it should leave each person right around 20million each. ---

If I ever won that kind of money… I would take 50-75% of it and invest it as safely as possible. The other money, I would buy a house, help out my family, and make a few fun purchases. /pjb lottery summary ---

Ohh yeah. I played scratch off tickets for a month. Because I bought one for the first time in a while and won $20 on it. So I decided that I would buy some here and there and track it on excel. Graphed the +/- and everything. tracked the ticket numbers too. I said I would stop once I reached 0$ again, working off the $20 I started with. I have the sheet up now. Graph went right up, to max of +26$, then kept sinking… and went to 0$, and I kept going like an idiot… ended at -$25! LOL 43 tickets later. these were all bought from the local news stand in the building. Look at the Cash Doubler, I bought #68, and it went all the way to #236 in that months time! Thats 168 tickets sold in just that game in a month! Lotto is the biggest waste of money and time I can think of, other than attempting to jerk off with no arms, then buying a fat ugly hooker. Now compound that over a year! or 20 years in a career you get in a habit of doing this same thing every day! ---

TRUE. A family member won $625K last year on a California lotto. Long story short, he blew it all, lied to the family and now has no money to pay off the taxes due, in ohh about 2 months! ---
