$159 million lottery winner finds God and gives away jackpot.

June 27, 2010 - 3:58 pm 25 Comments

This Shaw McBride guy who wins 159 million dollars in the Georgia Lottery says he’s going to give it all way! Apparently he used to be a troubled kid but got saved before resorting to suicide. Now he’s a local Saint! I guess money loses its luster when you let Christ into your life. Thanks for sending the video Lena.

How could you write out all possible national lottery combinations, manually or using excel?

June 21, 2010 - 10:32 am 4 Comments

Is there a protocol that could calculate every possible lottery line (all 13,983,816 of them) without writing or typing them out manually? Experts in excel required.
It was the simplest way to explain the method I need to replicate for future use, not for the lottery.

You wouldn’t live long enough to complete the list..

Twice lucky lottery win

June 21, 2010 - 12:29 am 25 Comments

Robert Hong had a better chance of opening an oyster in his Kirkland Lake restaurant and finding a pearl than winning a lottery. But he did it. Twice.
Win the lottery that is – not find a pearl.
On Saturday, Hong discovered he had picked all six numbers in the Lotto 6/49 draw, giving him a $15 million jackpot.
Just six months ago, he had a $340,000 win with a friend.
“I really couldn’t believe it,” Hong said after picking up his prize at the Toronto prize office on Tuesday. “To win again after such a short amount of time, I had to look at the numbers a few times and sit back and see that those were actually the winning numbers.”
The odds of winning the top prize are about one in 14 million. The chances of winning twice are, well, astronomical.
To compare, the website Webmath.com says the odds of a woman giving birth to quadruplets are 705,000 to one, and the odds of finding that pearl are a mere 12,000 to one.
Hong has put in long hours operating his family-run, third-generation restaurant in the small Northern Ontario city. He says he’ll still run the restaurant but will cut back on his hours.

How they pay you if you win the lottery? do they hand you a check after deducting tax?

June 18, 2010 - 11:30 am 3 Comments

Just wondering how state lottery pays people who win the jackpot? Do they give them the checks upon receiving the winning ticket?

The first answer is correct. The state taxes do suck…especially if you are living in California…then they take almost half!
It also depends on how you would like the lotto to pay-out. Meaning, you can have the state pay you a certain amount a month (you would end up with more earnings this way) or have them pay in a lump sum and receive all your earning at one time (this option gets you taxed up the ying yang).
Hope this helps.

How much money does the government take from your winnings if you win the lottery?

June 15, 2010 - 5:46 pm 10 Comments

If an american wins the lottery, how much money does the US Government take from those winnings? If that person wins the lottery in a different country, do the same rules apply as they would if that person won the lottery in the USA?

It will vary according to the tax bracket that you are in. You can pretty much estimate it at about a third. It also depends how you win it and where. Some state lotteries do not charge state taxes on state residents who win, others do.

If you are at the highest Federal tax bracket it wll be 35%.

And correct, most places don’t let non-residents participate in lotteries.
