No, it doesn't. That amount is prior to taxes.

I've seen people spend upwards of $300-$400 in one go at it..
wait..wait..wait
you are telling me that if someone spends $20..every 3-4 days on the lottery that it's smart? Really? we're talking about people that probably don't have it to spend to begin with.
i don't get your comparison on Headers...someone is actually getting a product in return.

I see it like this. You have a better chance of winning tonight than winning the "last post wins" thread.

it's only 10g for 4+1 and 245 people won that. that's $40.81...

edit: oh, and if that's 11 people in your office pool, then you have to split $40.81 11 ways. lmao

If there is a winner (or winners) tonight, if they have half'a'lick'a'sense, they VERY QUIETLY sign the ticket, head to the bank and store it in a safe deposit box.

Then, as quickly and quietly as possible, meet with legal and finanical advisors (**experienced** in dealing with large sums of cash), about protecting their win and their identify, possibly establishing a sole proprietorship or LLC which is represented by an attorney so the principals do not have to go public.

The winner collects their winnings, and working through their financial and legal advisors, establish trusts, scholarships, investment funds, etc while disappearing for a few months....

6 months later, the winner resufaces, tanned, fit, looking better than they have in years; Their neighbors comment, "Gee, haven't seen you around for a while, you LOOK great!"

The winner replies, "Thanks, good of you to say, just needed to take some time off and get outta town for a while...."

If I win, I'm still going to C'N'C tomorrow. And I'm still going to Primm, and still NOT riding the Roller Coaster.

I'll buy everyone's lunch and Roller Coaster tickets (though not necessarily in that order ) and everyone will wonder why in the hell does Hotrod have that stupid-a$$ smile on her face that just won't go away.
