Do you play your state lottery?
State lotteries are the most egalitarian institutions in America. It doesn't matter who your father is. It doesn't matter if you know any Senators. It doesn't matter how much you donate to political parties. Unlike getting into Yale or Harvard, everybody has equal opportunity in state lotteries.

NC is one state that doesn't have its own lottery.

Re: Do you play your state lottery?
I found out the other day that if you take the 'cash' option (the jackpot upfront) then they will only give you half the money, then you have to pay tax on what you receive.
The reson being the lottery want their cut too, if you take it in installments they would get interest on the money they are holding for you.
That's what they do here in Illinois anyway.
