[vpFREE] Mega Million, great play!!! For the government. Not VP

 

So U play with $ 2  that are taxed before U get it.  UP front the government gets a 50% hold  on the play. 

Winner gets 1000 million (1 billion).   Government nets roughly 1/2 of win in taxes . So odds about 1 chance in 302 million x $2 = 600 million.  On that exact scenario player makes 300million and government nets 300.

      300 mill lottery slice for selling

      150 mill lottery income tax

      120 mill estimated taxes on $ earned that were wagered

     ------   

     $570 million profit for states on $600 million hit???


I"m not a math guy.  How flawed is my quick calculation??


good luck to all that played.  Not a bad win!!   Jeep
