fuck you all! $90M Powerball jackpot winner: I quit!
 

not me :(

SEATTLE (Reuters) - A Washington state woman on Thursday claimed a $90 million Powerball lottery jackpot after buying a ticket for the first time, and said she would quit her job at plane maker Boeing Co and buy a new Subaru.

Lisa Quam, who bought her ticket at a grocery story in Auburn, south of Seattle, had the six correct numbers in Saturday's multi-state drawing, the lottery said in a statement.

"Sent out an email to my co-workers and friends at work this morning and told them what a pleasure it was to work with them and to check the news today, and they'll come to an understanding of why I am writing this note," Quam said to laughter at a news conference in Olympia.

Quam and her husband bought two Powerball tickets on a Thanksgiving Day run to buy a newspaper and pumpkin spice, the lottery's statement said. She posted the tickets on the refrigerator and checked the numbers on Sunday.

"I yelled to my family, 'Get up here!' They all thought I was mad and angry about something," she said in a statement through the lottery. "My daughter asked, 'Is this an emergency?' and I said, 'Yes!'"

She'll be back at work after they spend all that cash.

I wonder if she's dumb enough to take the lump sum payout, and then pay taxes on top of it... literally pissing away about $52 million before she even gets her hands on a single dollar of it.

.........

lucky she.

give me 5000

lucky bastard

i never won nothing on lottery

there is a reason why over here they don't post names and pictures of winners - her life will turn into hell now

(comfortable hell though)

Always take the lump sum

1 you will always make more money than the interest you are getting from the "state"

2 If you die, you heir is responsible for the inheritance tax on the total amount remaining, possibly more than has been collected

3 amount you will be taxed over 30 year installments is far greater than the lump sum tax payment

how i wish i could win that amount :)

Serious money...

Troll of the Year!! Own it Brassmonkey

You got this :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh ill take it!

You only pay 28% tax on gaming/lottery unless you love in a state with their own income tax. Then see Jeff's post above.

The last thing I would do is tell anyone I won the money.

Wouldn't you give Dave your old house?

If you won the money would you think it was a safe bet for Washington state to control your millions?

thats what i find very odd as well. I wouldn't want my name plastered everywhere if i'd win a lottery. Vulture galore, thanks guys!

Research how many past lottery winners have taken a lump sum payout and then were broke in 5yrs or less. For many people, trusting the state would be best for them.

That's too bad. Maybe next time.

lucky bastard
