Okay, so I deleted that because A) I was embarrassed with myself for getting carried away with doing all the math and everything, and B) I realized that the math was wrong. The Feds take a 25% Income Tax off every lottery winning over five thousand dollars, and with Colorado's 4% State tax, that leaves your original take at $74,550,000. I'm sure you can adjust the other totals appropriately.
Well I'm glad LJ emails me then, because I have the original post in my email! All my friends are geeks, what can I say?
And you'll be happy to know my student loans are half that and so is my parent's mortgage, and even if i took all my cousins and aunts and uncles, it wouldn't be 47 people. And I wouldn't invite those people to my fortress come the zombie apocalypse. So even with the 25% I'm good.
So you want to come on a shopping trip? :) I think we're going to start in Camden in London.
Oh Hell Yes. Then hop on over to Ireland for some Irish wool sweaters. I could use one of those right now. Of course, with lotto money, it'd be "One in each color, please".
I'm glad you have quite a bit left over in your imaginary lotto winnings. I'm a bit of a spender, so... I probably wouldn't have as much left over as all that. There'd be several expensive celebratory dinners. And a few weeks where it would be like Christmas every day for my family.
