Biggie Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Saturday night the jackpot is something like $1.9 Billion. If you took the one time cash payout you would still receive $929 Million. Spoiler I played one ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents I played one ticket The fact that they get to lie about the value, call it $1.9 billion, when it's really $929 million is insane. And THEN you get taxed on it AGAIN.

stepee Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 lol I didn’t realize the one time payout calculation doesn’t include the income tax that is a pretty lame though obv it would be hard to complain at “only” 600mil or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get 55% of $929 million = $510 million. Simple EV = $510/292.2 = $1.74 minus $2 for the ticket = minus $0.26 per ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m excited for the macbook pro too, it’s going to replace my surface pro for recording. Right now I do raw tracks in windows on reaper then move to garage band on my phone so this will save time and should be nicer. Plus that was about 6 years old and takes forever to render. Also this should still be a pretty display since it’s micro led hdr with local dimming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 It’s freakin ridiculous that for $3500 you don’t get 1tb on the vision though. You only get 256gb for that price. I did 512gb which at least still keeps the price shy of 4k. Also did 512gb on the Macbook instead of 1tb, and that should come with 1tb for the price too. But the laptop it’s replacing is currently 128gb so that is fine but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I upgraded the macbook pro to the 1tb model because I didn’t realize that it had 33% more gpu cores and an extra cpu core. Not that it matters for what I plan to use it for but it made sense then along with 2x storage for $400 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
