Yeah no doubt guys.. I don't like the lotto cause I never win jack! But the wife likes to play so I get tickets every once and a while!

I dont ever play. I give enough money away to people who dont deserve it as it is.

If you get 1 million, after taxes, give me 980,000 and keep 20,000 for yourself. Then I will personally give you 20,000 every single year until you die, even if you live to be 150 years old. Sound like a good deal to you? Sounds like a GREAT deal to me. Wanna know why? Because of the magic of compound interest. I'll take your 980,000 and put it into a moneymarket fund or a 1 year CD that's earning 5% interest. On $980,000, the interest for the year would be $49,000. You'll get $20,000 and I'll get $29,000 every year. If I simply leave my portion of the money in for 10 years, the 980,000 would grow to 1,364,759, and that's AFTER I've given you $20,000 every year. Or, I could give you the 20 grand, take out the 29 grand for myself and leave the 980 grand in there earning interest, never depleting if interest rates don't drop below 5% annually. Hell, even if interest rates drop back down to 2%, I can still give you 20 grand a year. Like I said, sounds like a GREAT deal to me. :D

I only bought 2 tickets... one for the woman and one for myself. I never usually buy tickets, but I have won once on a ticket I got from Christmas 3 years ago. I won $10,000 on a scratch off!!! So as much as I think the lottery is a crock of **** I hate buying tickets. (By the way the only reason I bought the 2 tickets was to shut my fiance up because she wouldn't stop bugging be about getting them.

What did you spend the $10k on? Heck how much of it did you get after taxes?

Yeah, I won $3,333 on a scratch off ticket MANY years ago. I was with my (now ex) girlfriend and a friend of hers. The deal was that we would all split any winnings. However, since I'm the one that was claiming it on taxes, we each split the 2133 (after 36% taxes) and I held onto the 36% until it was time to pay Uncle Sam. However, as it turned out, I was in a lower tax bracket that year so actually only ended up paying about 15% of it in taxes. The girl and I had long since split up so I got to keep the extra. The timing of the ticket could not have been better. The VA had JUST instituted a new addition to the GI Bill. If you paid in $600 before getting out of the military into the GI Bill, you'd get an additional $150/month toward school. I was going to be starting school in a few short months when I got out of the AF, so I took $600 in and made the full payment. That was the best investment I ever made (next to the initial $1200 I paid into the GI Bill). All told, I got paid over $35K off that $1800 investment. Granted, the vast majority of that money went toward the cost of school, but it's money that I didn't have to generate.

What did you spend the $10k on? Heck how much of it did you get after taxes? Actually I spent the money on a new bike... I got around $6700 after taxes.:dthumb:

I'd never join the military... even though I've been a consultant for them:lol:, but that sounds like a good deal.
