American lottery
I see it's up to about $1.3bn for Wednesdays draw. I think I may see if it's possible to buy tickets online

Usually you have to pay tax on the US lottery, so $1,3billion you get about $850million, but if you live in the California, Florida, Texas, Washington states you dont pay no tax on lottery prizes!!!
Ive looked you cant buy tickets online like out Lotto!!

Crazy really.
Way too much for one winner ,(although it could go to a syndicate I suppose)
Don't forget though, if being taxed on it, you can offset it by claiming back all the non winning tickets you have purchased in that year in pursuit of the Big Win. So maybe save yourself a couple of hundred dollars...!!!
Even last nights lottery over here at 66 million was ridiculous.(even split between 2)
For me that should have been 33 winners of 2 million apiece.
Could make so many more people happy...!!!
