Default Re: Lotteries

1. I agree that more people will buy tickets once the jackpot gets really big

2. Uncle sam would take 35% (top tax bracket) and it is tax free in the state.

Still I could live with a net amount of about $13,000,000 if I take the cash option. This assumes that the PV of $40MM is $20MM which is really conservative I think and a tax rate of 35%. ($20MM * (1-.35)).
