Mega Millions Lottery sob story!

[gonzo2k]

I run an office pool for the Mega Millions lottery. 25 still in (5 dropped out for last night's drawing...there were 30 on Tuesday).

Numbers drawn...13-14-24-30-47 (13)

We have a ticket..13-14-20-30-47 (15).

We won $150...if that 20 was a 24...$175,000 ($7,000 / each before taxes).

With 24 and 13 (instead of 15)... $87,000,000 ($1,200,000 / each AFTER taxes)


We put in $5 / each...we get $6 back...

DAMN!

but when the tax man come to the door............

Bah, just invest that $150 in to next weeks.

Kind of makes you want to throw things, doesn't it?

 

[gonzo2k]

tax on the $7,000/ each is 27%.

The grand prize reflects AFTER tax.

Of course...Tuesday is like pulling teeth to get $5.00 from 25 people...we have a free ride for the $102 Mil!
