$340 million dollar prize. Drawing on Wednesday evening.


You guys pay tax on the lottery! What a rip off!

I noticed on the website the guy who won $93m but only got $36m, talk about
being stiffed.

Our lottery pays out tax free and in a lump sum. None of this pay you over
20 years crap. You win $93m you get $93m.

Who runs your lottery, some sort of organized crime syndicate?
Because, I can't believe that a governmental agency would run one
as you describe.

Canada.. does not charge any tax on lottery winnings..
on interest earned, but not on amount won. Current 6-49 national Lottery is
currently up to around $30 million and the winner will get a cheque for all of it.

That is certainly one reason why I do.. among many others.. [g]
Principle among them, of course, the fact that I was born and raised here..

I assume you are referring to US Dllars, or Euros?. Yen.. etc.. in any event these days about .85 cents US, but then we still get to keep it all, not turn over 50% to the govt, or wait 20 yrs to collect, while still paying taxes.. I'll take our way.. [g] Might be less, but it's all mine, and I can spend it now.. assuming one wins, of course [g]
