Lotto Poll

[pirate4state]

I was just curious since I know most of us will be playing this week. I like to "mix it up" depending on how I "feel" and I like the cash value option.

Im taking the 25 year payout so I don't spend it all in the first couple of years.:eek: :eek:

There is one thing about the 25 year payout most people don't know. If you die before it's all paid out, the rest is NOT a part of your estate, and your beneficiaries don't get it. The state keeps the rest.

Unless, its put into a Family or Limited Partnership or some other entity that will survive your death.

Oops I am so used to picking one category in the post I missed voting for the cvo. :thinking:

What I would like to know is the ratio of winners when you use your own numbers as opposed to using quick picks. Can anyone help?

I think you can find this information if you go to the Texas Lottery Home Page.

this is correct....the money, if you were to die, would go to the government....

That little fairy in your head is filling it with bad info. How can you win the $$$ when I am going to win it? :thinking:

[BlueBlood]

All I know is that my preacher said he didn't want any of the winnings. Now what am I going to do with all that money?
