next weeks lotto has ten 2006 mustang GTs up for grabs along with the millions and I seriously want one...or rather need one.
Has anybody won big dollars in a major lotto or know of someone who has and how has it changed them, for good or bad? Cos hearing about winners is always cool  |

I dont know them personally but, a few years back a local couple won 65 million,
they recieved about 38 million after taxes as a lump sum....they were on the news 3 years later cryin because they were broke...........broke???? 38 million dollars???
thats what i was screamin at the tv when they broke that story....lol
anyway,,,,if anyone wins.....be smart and hire a financial guru...an acoountant or something....jeez....1 million in the bank yeilds a hundred grand a year....
if ya win....because i was the first to respond..I want a black mustang...convertible
thanks.....lol....ill even come out and drive it back...heheee

good luck on that IML......
I hit 4 numbers straight in sept of 2004 1 week after I lost my job...
....it paid over $2600.00...after taxes I got about $1700.00....it was quite a rush when I checked the numbers and saw that I had all 4 ..... 
Tammy hit 4 out of 5 numbers in the cash 5 drawing a couple of months ago and we thought it would be thousands, but it was only $300.00,
one more number and it would've been $100,000.00....

We don't have to pay tax on lottery winnings over here. It's taxed only on the interest earned.
65mill down to 38 is a chunk |

The most ive ever won was $100.00 (US) on a scratch off,,,,but a few years back when i lived in Florida, i bought a lottery ticket, the lottery was up to $150 million (US) and my ticket had every number one above what the original numbers were....what a kick in the pants that was.....lol |
