USA MEGA provides estimates of State Income Tax costs as well, for the annuity or the cash options. New Jersey, New York, and Washington DC have the highest tax; California doesn't offer PowerBall, but if a Californicator were to win he'd be within the top taxed group too.
Yesterday DonDiego took a chance that nobody would win, and didn't purchase any PowerBall Tickets. It paid off ! Now DonDiego can buy twice as many this week. DonDiego expects there will be a winner this Wednesday.
DonDiego wishes second-place for everyone else !
