Next drawing is THIS Friday....in 2 days. GT game is Next Week. -- Late 80s Hokie 10/17/2018 07:21AM Which you take home what, half of that? -- EDGEMAN 10/17/2018 07:40AM 868M for Friday or $494M cash option. Then you lose 1/3 of that? So ~$360 -- hoosnowahokie 10/17/2018 08:23AM It's usually around 50% of the net non annuity payment -- fordham 10/17/2018 11:08AM You can live on the interest on the rest and never touch the principle. -- Hokie CPA 10/17/2018 12:40PM Well until every cousin you never know you had comes crying -- fordham 10/17/2018 5:13PM I'll start pointing out that A) I know which cousins I'll give money to... -- Hokie CPA 10/17/2018 5:27PM I think it's a little higher than 1/3 when you factor in state & local tax -- EDGEMAN 10/17/2018 08:53AM Maybe HokieCPA can chime in...what would be the total percentage... -- EDGEMAN 10/17/2018 09:09AM I'd guess 57% of half. Top federal rate this year is 37% and Virginia is -- Hokie CPA 10/17/2018 10:01AM Charitable deduction question -- EDGEMAN 10/17/2018 10:11AM Yes. Give away your chunk the year you win it and it -- Hokie CPA 10/17/2018 10:20AM Is there a jackpot where it makes more sense to take the annual vs cash? -- HokieAl 10/17/2018 11:30AM Personal preference. Of course, $800MM paid over 25 years is $32MM per yr. -- Hokie CPA 10/17/2018 1:11PM
