8 bucks for a twitter blue check and almost enough left over for a coffee at Starbucks.I won $12. what shal I do with all this new found fortune?
Mack is a Houston Legend, loved by all. Has given so much to the city of Houston. He has done that bet the last couple of years. He has a promotion during the season if you buy 3,000 in furniture you will get it for free if the Stros win the world series. He hedges it with that bet.Maybe its better to stick to sports betting like "Mattress Mack":

well, Nancy's new cans AREN'T FREE or were they?So the .gov takes whopping $1,000,000,000 from some lucky soul who before that was probably barely a thousandare.
The magnitude of theft is unfathomable. and ranks up there with some of the largest heists in history.
Few things actually make my blood boil and taxes are one of them. it ranks up there with child molesters and people pointing guns at me.
He's right. The only way to get hoodrats to pay tax. I'll prob buy a ticket tomorrow, but lottery is mostly funded by people that can't afford it. It would be sad except those types would just waste it elsewhere, so fuck them.Just checked the website, and it is correct that there was not a winner. There wasn’t even a winner for the million dollar get five but miss the powerball option. Dave Ramsey says the lottery is a tax on the poor. I guess I’m poor.
hookers and blow is wasted?He's right. The only way to get hoodrats to pay tax. I'll prob buy a ticket tomorrow, but lottery is mostly funded by people that can't afford it. It would be sad except those types would just waste it elsewhere, so fuck them.
I'd get more out of that than the lottery.hookers and blow is wasted?![]()
You can only deduct the losses from any winnings. So if you sepent 100 mil on lottery tickets you could deduct that from the taxes. if you dont win then you cant deduct it.so, here's a thought for you guys that win.....
Gov will take their 438 m income. but if you 'bet' a few 100million and lose, you can write that off and get some of your money back.
maybe 'buy' some property for one of your LLCs, declare bankruptcy, sell that property off to another LLC that you may or may not control. carry your losses forward
Gambling Losses
You may deduct gambling losses only if you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040) and kept a record of your winnings and losses. The amount of losses you deduct can't be more than the amount of gambling income you reported on your return. Claim your gambling losses up to the amount of winnings, as "Other Itemized Deductions."
It isn't about lifting people out of poverty, nor is it about funding schools. Stimulating the economy? Nope, not about that either.I did buy a ticket, but the whole thing is so dumb. Aside from the odds, no one needs a billion dollars. Far better to change the odds so 1000 people win a million bucks!
#1, I'd sure as hell never fly commercial anywhere ever again!
Dave Ramsay isn't wrong. This is the only time I will buy a ticket. Technically you have pot odds now. You are 1 in ~250M to win, the pot is paying you a little over 7 to 1 to play....technically, for those who don't "habla" gambling speak.Just checked the website, and it is correct that there was not a winner. There wasn’t even a winner for the million dollar get five but miss the powerball option. Dave Ramsey says the lottery is a tax on the poor. I guess I’m poor.
If you place a wager and lose, you can absolutely deduct that from your "gambling income". It only covers gambling wins and losses. However, you have to show that you are in fact a gambler, and derive a certain amount of income from gambling. A one time bet, does not a gambler make.You can only deduct the losses from any winnings. So if you sepent 100 mil on lottery tickets you could deduct that from the taxes. if you dont win then you cant deduct it.

Theoretically....it would pay you to buy 250M tickets in one go. This is why the whole system makes me scratch my head when that thing gets this big. When it gets this big, theoretically, one should be able to "beat the house" pretty easily.
Thats the other fly in the ointment. There's another 20-40 million other people in the "pot" with you, that are holding "cards".While you would win, if you bought 252 milllion worth of tickets, the issue is.....if someone else wins, you wouldn't get your full investment back.
What iffin I’m already ruintGive the winning ticket to your church.
That ought to keep the govt out of any tax dollars on it.
That kinda money would likely ruin a man anyways.
do you mean if you were something like a profesional poker player who gambles for a living? then wouldnt it be sort of like a business expense? in which case I have no idea.If you place a wager and lose, you can absolutely deduct that from your "gambling income".

I used to work with a guy that fancied himself a gambler. If you are a losing gambler, you can't just "deduct" that from your income tax.

im talking the average Joe cant spend $1000 a year on lottery and deduct that from his taxes if he never won. he could only use it as a deduction to offset taxes he owed on winnings.

yep. Money and fame ruined him.
Tonight’s drawing has been delayed due to a technical difficulty. It is unknown when the drawing will take place.
That's because Powerball is rigged.Pretty amazing they can know within one night how many winning tickets were sold and where, but we can't find out election numbers for weeks.![]()
They're not counting them yet, they're still in the fondling phase.They're still counting the balls? Do they think they'll get it wrapped up this week?
Spend $584,402,676 on tickets and you're a guaranteed winner.
What's the lump sum after taxes? There could be some profit to be made
Jerry & Marge Go LargeIn the early days of the lottery’s there were groups of people who were able to game this by calculating the odds and buying large blocks of tickets (don’t recall if they also selected the numbers). They were pretty successful in that they ended up being banned from playing and led to changes in the odds that made it no longer profitable.
