    Powerball at 1.6 billion

    Some trivia for today. A resident of North Dakota would receive $470,259,445 cash if annuity was not selected. At least our lotteries are tax free. Wonder how many Canadians who live close to the border have purchased tickets.

    I couldn't find any info on annunities, but if you divide 1.6B by 25 years, that's still 64M a year. Even if you lose half to taxes...!  
     
    It's hard to comprehend how much 1,000,000,000 is, even compared to a million.  
     
    (for those interested, this is my favourite demonstration of the difference: https://youtu.be/8YUWDrLazCg )

    but some online retailers are cashing in on your purchase. Check the markup. These are legal online bookies who will add a few more bucks to the price of a ticket!

    I recall buying a couple of tickets a few years ago via some website.

    Tomorrow's drawing is the largest in the history of lotteries in USA. And yet, it might go higher!
