During the election when they had to release their finances Romney had something like 500k in gold. The big downside to winning a lottery like that in gold will be the taxes. Youll have to sell some off to pay for the taxes and youll take a hit on its value selling it. Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 03/24/2013 09:15 am What state lottery commission has 4 mil. in gold , and if they do It is time for the state A.G. to investigate. I'm pretty sure there is a cash equivalent prize. Report this Post to the Staff
xAGENTxMULDERx Valued Member United States 339 Posts	Posted 03/24/2013 9:36 pm it did say something else under it, I think it said you can either choose 4 million cash or the gold bullion, but yeah, I cant imagine how much taxes youll pay, close to around 65% I believe on lottery http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ufh7S4nerls/0.jpg that picture is illinois, I'm in north carolina, so 2 states are doing it as far as I know Edited by xAGENTxMULDERx 03/24/2013 9:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 3:30 pm Id take the cash personally. Aside from the fact that its easier to pay the taxes what are you going to do with 2 million in gold? Report this Post to the Staff
xAGENTxMULDERx Valued Member United States 339 Posts	Posted 03/25/2013 11:31 pm take the gold, youre gonna have to come up with the cash from your own pocket to pay the 2 million+ in taxes, id take the cash then buy gold with the cash Report this Post to the Staff
lincsus Valued Member United States 200 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 1:22 pm Total taxes will be upto 50% (depending on your state). So if you do decide to take gold, you will have to pay $2 million to the taxman. Most people who buy lottery will not have that much money in the first place. Isn't that the whole reason to buy lottery? Report this Post to the Staff
