$1.22B Mega Millions winner stays anonymous after California ticket sale

[@arodfive]

If the Lottery gives money to schools in that state, why is it that schools are still lacking in funds and kids' school lunch isn't free?

[@P.90.603]

I read that lunch is free for students in california. Is that not true?

[@plutoplatters]

That because man constantly lies.

I live in California and most kids get free lunch

Sunshine food and gas in Cottonwood California is the location where the winning ticket was sold.

Don't worry. You can't stay anonymous in California. It's a public record once the winner comes forward. Just plan to have new friends and spammers coming out. 😅

[@c5cpe]

I wonder if you have a good lawyer if you can pay to keep your anonymity in a state that announces the winner. Remember, you have millions to change the rules!

[@davinxi5926]

Exactly just like voting records.

So, 1.2 billion, take lump sum and walk away with like 600 million. It might not be a popular opinion but if I won that much money I'd be changing a lot of lives. I'd take care of all my finances, upgrade my house, put $50million in the bank/investments, and then with the other probably 500 million left over I'd start paying off people's debt for them. Start with my family and friends and then move on to other people. Life is too short to not try to make a difference in people's lives if you have excessive means like that.

[@Sir_Galahad777]

@@darrylnelson05 I believe this was in Michigan, and most states do have a state tax on lottery winnings even though there's no state income tax. Soon there will be a wealth tax and that will eat up more of the lottery winnings

Why is California always winning the lottery?

[@MrTee-de7to]

I live in Massachusetts and I don't buy Mega Millions tickets. All lotteries are a rip-off, the odds suck more money from the players. Stop playing and demand the odds be changed so more players can win life-changing sums. One person gets 1 billion, ridiculous.
