Mega Millions jackpot: Odds of winning put in context

[@davidbarnes4742]

When it gets huge like this I’ll play my numbers. Just one ticket. If God wants me to win I don’t need to waste buying 200 tickets.

[@jilbertb]

Actually, you don't get half, after US govt tax of 35% and MN state tax of 9.5% (yes, they tax more on lottery wins) you end up with ~25% of the $1.15 billion, or about $287 million.

Screw that. I don’t want 287million

[@RDAmidwest]

Hey, I won twelve bucks. Guess I'll try again. And again. And again...

[@Frankie_Zappa]

I don't need to be bumped up into a higher tax bracket.
I'll pass.

Well considering most gas stations and grocery stores are closed today and yesterday evening I’m not surprised lol

[@jilbertb]

There's an app for that. It's legal in MN and many other states.

​@@jilbertbWalz banned the Jackpocket lottery app in 2021. So no, there isn't an app for that.
