| Topic | Don't forget to buy your Mega Millions tickets |

I know you get less for taking the instant cash, but the last time I read the back of one of the tickets, I swear it didn't say it took 50% of it. Where are you getting this information? Here is a website that breaks it down, though it doesn't factor in state taxes (and some states have none.....you can't move to them after winning and avoid the taxes though). Also, it is more, but the point of my post was that your odds are bad, you are better off taking the money and playing roulette 10 times in a row (more likely to come out ahead) then you are playing the jackpot, your odds would still be better to walk away with more money then you spent. If you win 10$ in a row spending only 1$ you walk away with 516$. The limit on the tables is usually $1000, so if you did that with 4$ you could walk away with $2000....and you would have a better chance of that happening..then winning the mega millions (but still not a very large chance at all). https://www.businessinsider.com/should-you-take-the-annuity-or-the-lump-sum-if-you-win-the-lottery-2013-9 --- "did you steal my f***in signature" Helly ...
