Looking up MegaMillions fun facts, I learn that every state running this game, with the exclusion of CA, TX, NJ, and WA, charge a state tax on winnings... a tax on winnings on top of the fact you paid them to play in the first place, on top of they already keep X% of the money peeps paid to play.

The other states don't have the gall to make you pay state tax on your winnings.

Nah, taxes aren't out of control or anything.

I'll go in $5 with you on the Powerball if you go in $5 with me on the MegaMillions (up to $124M).

That way we don't have to worry about swapping the cash either.

If you're in, I'll post the numbers tomorrow night (Tuesday) after work as I'll stop to get the tickets on the way home. (Drawing at 11 p.m. Tuesday night.)

My paypal balance is a little light. I'll put more money in it. Buy my share of the tickets, and I'll hit you in a couple days when the money gets done jumping through its hoops.

TPR, if you want in on the megamillions for tomorrow, send me the $5 via paypal. I think it's leisher, but Catt knows for certain. He's sent me more cash, and vice versa, than anyone.

Gordo, if you want to split some numbers with us, just say so. I'll get your cash next time we see some flicks. Something is coming up here soon that I want to see, although I'm not remembering what it is at the moment.

Forget it, I'll just put in $10 to Leisher for the megamillions, and we'll call it $5 each for my share of both jackpots. Deal?

Damn... I hope we don't win both... that sounds like an accounting nightmare.

Ok, I'm buying $20 worth of tickets tonight. $5 each for Catt, Gordo, TPR, and me.

As for the Powerball, I'm buying Catt's $5 on the MM, so we're a wash there. But I have to send $5 anyway to cover Gordon, who will be into me for $10?
