    The lottery is a tax on those who are dumb at math. Except the ones who win.

    I heard the other winners are in Iowa or somewhere in the midwest but haven't come forward yet. Hopefully they are smart and getting together with lawyers, family members, ect... before making the claim.

    The lucky WA winners don't have to pay state taxes either, just the 25% fed tax. That's a nice added bonus.

    I like this: Jim was adamant that he's going to be responsible with the money and that it will create a legacy for his six children, 23 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

    "What this means to me is not that I'm going to fly all over the world and buy my own jet," he said. "The legacy will go generation to generation and generation and my kids and grand kids will not have to worry because... we're not going to blow this."

    I added that woman, she actually talked to me(messaged me) personally and asked what I was about. I was saying just wanted to see what she was about. Wasn't asking for money, never will, since obviously 99% of the people who messaged her either are about "congratulations and break me off that 81$ mil) She has been sending me suggestions, one with a "young mogul" and another with a business mentor. She seems cool, Ms. Lahti.

    Hate to say it but if I ever just stumbled upon 190mil I'm 99% sure I'd be the guy who ends up committing suicide within a few years. I'm a very type B personality, if people blew up my email with their stories needing money, I'd become depressed as hell. Plus all the family coming out of the woodward? No thanks, for me it's easy come easy go, work hard appreciate forever.
