It's only $117 Million after taxes. What a ripoff that is when you think about it.

They always have their hands in your pocket any way possible.

:1orglaugh

:sadcrying

What couldn't you do with that amount of money..Spend, spend, spend... then give a load to charity:glugglug

she'll end up giving it away, or it getting hit up by all sorts of scams.

I'll eat her rim for $10 .. just because she's rich

I would travel like a mother fucker telling everyone in the world that GOD IS BRAZILIAN

I'd start a tpg if I won that much money. I would see at least a 150% return within 6 months. :Graucho

I'd buy KRL for dinner so i could learn from him

damn, what a country :glugglug

God damn taxes, but that's still a hell lota money. I'd travel the world, give some to my grandsons, family... ect.

Also its not a lump sum . but 11 mill over 26years or lump sum of 160 mill , Yup ridiculous amount of taxes:BangBang:

I'd call me up some whores. :)

that's a reipoff

:banana

Buy a cookie

:banana

hmmmmm

Lowell MA


thats right up the road from me

I guess I'd hit it 1/2 time

I'd buy up a bunch of private islands and declare myself a country. For starters. :)

Gonna run up there and marry her ?:1orglaugh I love You Honey , will you be my lawfully bewedded pocket book ?:Graucho

Wow. Yet another old person wins it. Im still wating for that 20 year old to win it. Watch him turn 25 and see him broke.

We can do that here in MA JFK

:Graucho

AAAAYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEE "Here Comes the Bri.....er the millions:1orglaugh

I was so happy that someone who has had a working class life won the money :) Good for her! 3 kids and 8 grandkids are pretty happy right about now too :winkwink:

invest invest invest

OMG ,
that reminds me of that Alannis Morrisette Song "Isn't it Ironic" :upsidedow

Except she probably does not have the savy to do so. So all kinds of hustlers will come out of the woodworks and try to take advantage. All that money , and the sudden publicity that comes along with it, can make your life miserable:2 cents:

No its $117 Million because she chose the lump sum. So they don't give you as much money if you pick that. If you go the 30 years or whatever then you get the whole amount.

Its a bit of a government scam on words.

:1orglaugh

She already has a couple of lawyers and financial planner. When she knew she had won, she put the ticket in a bank safe deposit box. In her press conference, she was talking about a charitable contribution. Tax shelter no doubt..
Sounds fairly savy to me!

Hell, she could spend plenty per day and simply live off interest, thats really awesome.

In some states, heirs cant inherit annual lottery payments, so lump sum is smart for her.

I think she'll be ok, LOL :thumbsup

wow thats a lot of money

yup it is :2 cents: :Graucho

Lump sum 168 mill before taxes.......what ever the taxes are

I would do something insane like buy every household in my local city a pizza... just for the hell of it... or pay the bar tab for one night in every bar.. that still wouldn't even put a dent in that much money though.

Cheers,
Matt

It's pure genius how the state charges taxes on money that is theirs to begin with. :helpme

Too bad the U.S. lottery isn't run like the Canadian one. She woudn't have to pay taxes and she would get it all in one lump sum..

Some 65 year old man here won the $160 million jackpot (I think it was $160 million) after taxes he came home with likr 60 or 90 million not too sure. Why is it older people always win the lottery?

I would buy myself Soma.

I would call all the talent agency in the world and hire the most girls I can, fly them to montreal for shooting a scene with me as the only male actor :Graucho

they buy more tickets?

:banana
