Icon4 Mega Millions $333 MILLION Estimated Jackpot!

Yikes!! Who's in on it?

If I win the jackpot I am going to make a very nice donation to TRF!

I am playing 10 23 35 39 55 + 18

What numbers are you playing?

Suggest some numbers: (5)numbers 1 to 56 and (1)number 1 to 46

I wish the best of luck to any other TRF member(s) that are playing this evening!

The Jackpots are getting bigger and bigger. We had an 80 million dollar draw here recently ( that was a record for us I think) .
Good luck

If we win Frankie we can go in together to an AD and buy us a Rolex.

If we buy 2 at the same time maybe we can get 10-15% off?

I have my tickets... I figure if it's a one time payout after taxes we're only talking 90 Million. It's not 330 million but I guess it'll do

I may even decide to retire...

That is an incredible tax cut!! Are you sure about that figure??

Here in NZ, all prize winnings are completely tax free - i.e. you get to keep the ENTIRE winnings!!

Edit: Roger, it wasn't just taxes but the present value of the annuity which is the way "jackpot" is always represented.
