In another year or two that'll be worth .37 cents.

If you win, can you move to a no tax state for 7 months and then not pay the state tax?

At the current rate, that'll buy you a case of 5.56.

Where would one buy a compound is the question? Alaska? Idaho? Wyoming?

Why are these places so cold and inhospitable? Guess that’s the point.

$250-290 mill after lump sum and taxes for either one.

That would definitely put you in a situation where you are above all the bullshit going on.

Lump sum and spend it all RTFN then?

Take the cash, put 5% into Bitcoin and sit back, watch the show.

$450 million lump sum
5% = $22,500,000/ $40,000 per BTC
= 562.5 BTC

BTC hits $100,000 by 2025 you have $56,250,000 in crypto plus whatever you did with the other $400 million plus.

If you live your life by it, sure. I think I might buy a ticket for the third time in my life. $2 is cheap entertainment to allow me to daydream for a bit about winning.

I spend MAYBE 30 bucks a year when it gets well over 100 mil.

I spend very little on fast food, snacks, or much of anything else nowadays including gas so that 30 bucks a year is like 1/2 a weeks worth of ''whatever'' spending 5 years ago.

I frequently say that when I win the lottery I'll climb to the top of some hill in Wyoming or Montana, and I'll buy every acre I can see from there. Then I'll build a very comfortable cabin, and a few heated buildings, and set about my time filling them with vehicles, tools, machine equipment, and I'll learn everything there is to learn about everything I want. I'll hire master machinists to teach me how to work metal and wood. I'll hire world class chefs to cook for me, and teach me to cook as well as them. That sort of thing.

It's gonna be great.

For the cost of a can of beer I can fantasize about becoming one of the top 100 or so landowners in the United States.

Believe me, that's worth the price of admission.

Cat is out of the bag once you buy the ticket. You can buy in a tax free state and not pay state taxes, but unless you buy the ticket there you’re always paying state tax and of course you’ll always pay the fed.

Once you get your cash you can move to the Caymans and surrender citizenship. I don’t think it’s that bad yet though. But the US is the only country that taxes you regardless of where you live on all income.

Shouldn’t there be a link to Austrians thread by now?
