whats really fascinating tho, are the people who bitch about, how you have to give 35% as tax to the government. Like ... who the fuck cares lol !

I wouldn't care if it was 90% lol, i'd still have over 20 million € lol.

I guess it varies per country, then (in Europe, I mean). Here all such winnings are tax-free.

But no way I'd willingly pay 35% either - I'd ask the winnings to be credited to an offshore bank account, then go on a permanent vacation before the tax hounds realize what's going on. Razz

you just won 227 million and you would be bitching about only getting 150 million ?

I'd have other things to worry about lol. Like changing my phone number ^^.

What i am saying is, people are greedy and it shows Smile

I'm not particularly greedy, but if by some cunning planning I could avoid paying 80 million in taxes, then yeah, I sure would. I'm confident that I can think of better uses for it than the government. Laughing

Are the winners announced publicly in Switzerland? That's another thing that must suck, here it's all anonymous.


@Mchart: Don't think many people buy those tickets and honestly think they're going to win. It's more about buying into the dream for an insignificant cost - sure you could daydream what you'd do with a fortune even if you don't play the lottery, but somehow having that ticket in your pocket makes it more fun. And the inevitable disappointment even more annoying. Very Happy

I guess I would divide some to my family, most for me ofc, and I would start my own business, just not to be bored I guess.

Plus with all that money, you cannot really fail, since even if your business doesn't grow, you still have like €100 million to cushion your fall Very Happy

Oh and that standard, get the all the stuff I wanted would be included. But I'd never waste my money on drugs and stupid things like that.

I'd probably travel more Smile

drugs ?

even IF you would buy 10g of Coke a day @100, you'd have enough for 273 years ^^ (100 million).

You'd be that long before that tho. And i agree, drugs would be dumb.

I do some recreational drugs (quit coke some time ago), just some speed or xtc (very little), i'd probably quit everything all together with that kinda money. Buy me an island and retire there lol.

The astronomically high odds against winning the larger prizes have also led to the epithets of a "tax on stupidity" and a "math tax" (or both epithets combined gives "tax on the mathematically inept"). Although the use of the word "tax" is not strictly correct, these descriptions are intended to suggest that lotteries are government-sanctioned operations which will attract only those people who fail to understand that buying a lottery ticket is a poor economic decision.

I would buy an Island, rename the island to "the humpland", invite all of you guys over and throw a huge fuck fest with lots of booze and cocaine and hookers of course.



... and I would build a nice house for my mother, my sister and my brother Smile (far away from "the humpland").

No tax here. That would be an insane amount of money to win. I used to play when I had more money, it was more about the fantasy of the chance of winning than thinking I might actually win the jackpot.
