I gots lotto fever

[Ed Anger]

Yeah it is silly, but a crack at 304 million? 20 tickets please.

Think of all the 2,000 dollar strollers I could buy.

I wish you lived in Kentucky.  I like it when people are willing to pay more state taxes.

[Ed Anger]

If I could get even 4 balls again, I'd be happy....wait that doesn't sound right.

I mean the 10K prize again, I'd be happy.

[Grey Fox]

How much of that is going to get taken by the gov?

25% feds
6% state.

automatically. Then you'd have to finish it out at the max rate. 35% something.

[Grey Fox]

Alright, so half.

Still a lot of money.

Here, tomorrow nite's lotto is 41 millions. Tax Free.

You won 10k once!

Considering some asshole is proposing a 10 cent tax on each roll of TP, I'm gonna need that money. Or not eat mexican ever again.

[Caliga]

You should try eating real Mexican food (e.g. puerco pibil).  It has more fiber than the fake shit at Taco Bell.

We play whichever has the highest jackpot between powerball & megamillions a couple times a week.  It's not that I expect to win or even think about winning-- in fact I'd prefer to take the money & visit a casino.  But I just don't want to have any chance of being one of the unlucky few left in the office if everyone wins, so I view it as a sort of insurance policy.

The girl who goes & buys the tickets does a great job running the whole thing-- just wish she was that good with her actual work.

There are people in my office who play the lotto for the very same reason spiess does.

How socialist.
IIRC it's a flat 10% on all kinds of winnings in Poland.

I think it is the same in my office as that's the line they try to use on my when I refuse to participate.

[Caliga]

It's foolish logic too.  I'll be happy to stay behind and get a huge promotion or, if not, get a job elsewhere via my large network of contacts.
