One ticket sold in California is the winner of 2.09 billion dollars Powerball!

[imanamerican63]

Altadena, California is were it was sold.

[BlueTsunami2018]

1. Well that sucks.

[WarGamer]

2. Not for the winner and family...

Or for the IRS or the Ferrari dealership or the local Century 21 office.

[lapfog_1]

3. or the place that sold the ticket

but it sucks for me

[Rebl2]

36. Wonder how much

the place that sold the ticket gets. Anyone know.

[IcyPeas]

42. He wins $1 million. He is a Syrian immigrant who came here in the 80s

He was interviewed on the local news here.

[Initech]

4. Ferrari? I'd take a Lucid Air and a Rivian!

$250K for a Lucid Air Sapphire and $95k for the R1...

[WarGamer]

7. yeah nice...

To me, a Ferrari in 2022 is like a Swiss watch vs an Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch does everything better but the Ferrari is an engineering masterpiece and comes awfully close to bringing human emotion and passion to an inanimate object.

[Initech]

12. Certainly true!

A Pagani Huayra or Bugatti Veyron would be seriously tempting with $2 billion, though!

[WarGamer]

15. I'm too old for the Pagani, lol... the Bugatti supposedly is like driving a really fast Lexus.

The Huayra is supposedly pretty rough... wicked fast though!

[sdfernando]

18. I can't see spending that kind of money on a car and way to conspicuious

I'd definetly live comfortably and nicely....travel a lot. Set up a couple of trusts to benefit the community band I play in, the local LGBTQ Center, fund a musical scholarship for LGBTQ high shool grads, and finally a trust to fund college for all of my families children (I have no children myself but have a ton of nieces/nephews and greats as well)

[Initech]

20. I would definitely travel and see the world as much as possible!

Oh man to fly in one of those airlines that has your own private suite would be amazing!

[mitch96]

24. Yes and no.. One thing for sure that persons life is gonna change big time.. Lets hope it's not

5. 10.33.41.47.56 - PB 10 The Winning Numbers....nt

[brush]

6. So how much would be the lump sum pay out?

About a billion three?

[WarGamer]

8. After taxes, 600M-ish in California (no State tax)

[brush]

9. That sounds low. Hadn't the jackpot reached 2 billion?

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

11. You only get the full jackpot if you take the annuity

Otherwise you lose half if you do the lump sum.

[brush]

21. I get that, but 600m lump sum payout for a 2.09B jackpot still seems low.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

22. Yea I agree

Taxes take a big chunk of it. 24% goes to the Feds right off the bat. Then more when you file your taxes at the end of the year since you will be in the top bracket.

[IbogaProject]

25. In New York state

The cash post tax conversion of the Jackpot is about .42, So 800 some. The actual cash value before taxes was just under one billion. Gambling is a fixed rate federally, and the make income in the state, a few states might exempt their lottery winnings. A few states also allow collecting anonymously after a court case due to the danger of having name, photo and home town listed and a couple of incidents of violence by unknown parties using that information.

[Rebl2]

37. Does the

annuity end upon your death? Are others allowed to be included on the annuity. I am guessing yes, but not sure.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

39. I think it varies by state

But most let you pass it on after your death as far as I know.

[haele]

26. No state tax on California Lottery games only - there is state tax on multi-state games

A friend got four Powerball numbers plus the bonus, and ended up having to pay CA taxes on his $30k + win as well as the Federal taxes. He ended up with around $15k after taxes.

I won a CA Fantasy Five lottery for $28k a decade and a half ago and only ended paying $7k in Federal taxes. Pre-ACA; most of it went to paying off outstanding medical bills that year.

38. Local tv in Socal says 997 million. nt

[CentralMass]

10. The lottery, " An excize tax on the stupid". I got absolutely noting on my tickets.

[WarGamer]

16. Whatever you paid... was the price for the dream.

[CentralMass]

35. This is true and so worth the price.

[Emile]

13. Do they have to reveal themselves? Some states will protect

your privacy and some don't!

[The Grand Illuminist]

14. They do in California

[WarGamer]

17. Really messed up.

They'll be hiding all their life

[Deuxcents]

27. Yep..people will be coming out of the woodwork..

Remember me? I’m your 3rd removed cousin. I helped you in high school..gonna have to get a good tax lawyer, estate lawyer, security...they’d be smart to not go public.

[The Grand Illuminist]

33. This will help.

[IcyPeas]

43. They have a year to reveal themselves. Most reveal within a few months per Lottery representative

who was interviewed on the local news here.

[jmowreader]

19. Oh man...

I had plans for that, and none of them involve Ferraris.

My intent was to get together about a dozen of you folks who know how to run businesses, build a conglomerate, sink about two-thirds of that stash into buying land, building facilities and buying equipment, and put a bunch of people to work.

You of course know what would happen if I DID win the jackpot: every lunatic church in the area would be at my door with their hands out.

[newdayneeded]

23. This is a family

that can escape the repubs in this country

[SWBTATTReg]

28. That's the thing about PowerBall, MegaMillions, etc. 1 person wins all of it, while the rest of

us get squat. I don't like this where 1 person/1 small group wins such a huge amount and the rest of us get zippo. We get nothing basically. Thus, this is one big reason why I don't play very often. I wish that they would break up such huge huge amounts into chunks, such as turning this giant jackpot into perhaps 100 $10,000,000 jackpots or the like, spread the money around.

[brooklynite]

29. Um, no

One person wins it if only one person selects the right. Umbers. Perfectly possible to have multiple winners.

[SWBTATTReg]

30. That's your personal opinion. Mine is spread the possibilities around so more may win. NT

[Tarc]

41. Lol, what? Redistribution of...lotto winnings?

Which chapter of das Kapital is that from ?

[SWBTATTReg]

45. Don't misquote me on this, I am saying make multiple jackpots instead of one big jackpot. Simple

as that and not this das Kapital you are quoting and misattributing to me.

[Tarc]

46. It is exactly what you said, bud

"What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine."

[SWBTATTReg]

48. No it isn't. And by the way, everyone on DU is entitled to our own opinions. If you don't like it,

fine. Quit misquoting me.

[NewDayOranges]

31. I'VE BEEN ROBBED!!!

[GreenWave]

32. I am to powrball what Philly "hitters" were to Houston last few games.

I played 2 games. 0 for 12.

[keithbvadu2]

34. I bought us two tickets. Mine won. Sorry about yours.

[Stinky The Clown]

40. Holy shit! I have a friend who lives in Altadena!

Wait . . . . did I say "friend"?

I meant brother. Yeah, that's the ticket. Brother.

Twin brother.




(I really do have a friend there.)

[IcyPeas]

44. Wouldn't it be horrific if the winner was a MAGA Trumper

[Kennah]

47. One could buy the 2024 Election
