if the drawing was not rigged - this guy may not have won at all, maybe other numbers would have come up instead?
(I did not read full article, just my first thought he may want to just be happy for what he already received)
Massihzadeh?
A correction for inflation should also be calculated.
Interest rates have not kept up with inflation.
Possibly true.
But the numbers would have been certified by the state gaming commission and given that he was the only player with those winning numbers who was not party to the fraud he should be the official winner.
And dont use the inflation rates published during the Obama administration.
Those numbers were falsified to make Obamas government look good and to keep the SS inflation adjustment low.
Samir Massi..., Massi..., well, not gonna work here anymore.

($4,000,000/$800,000)^(1/12)-1 = 14.35%
He'd be doing fine. He'll settle for a lot less. Interest rates have inflation built in, which is why mortgage rates were 18% during the last days of the Carter misadministration. Inflation in the U.S. has been pretty tame over the past 30 years. Thanks again, Ronald Reagan.
Median income declined during the Obama years, which contributed to lower inflation. I suspect, left to his own devices, Obama would have gone full Mugabe, seeing debasement of the currency and the roaring worldwide economic calamity that ensued as a crisis too good to waste. Not enough Democrats were that suicidal.
Inflation is war on creditors by debtors. People receiving a defined benefit pension are creditors, the government is very much a net debtor. Johnson tried to pay off the national debt with monopoly money, but the markets caught on quickly.
If you or I were running the SS Ponzi scheme, we’d be on tv doing the perp walk... Hi Mom!
>>Massihzadeh?<<
Sounds like a character on “Lucifer.”
Madoff was a piker. He should have run for Congress and gone really big.
Depending on the state, most judicial interest rates are 6% or 9%.
This is to make it easier to roll in punishment and any other adjustable rates easily.
Then maybe your half-baked speculation is a waste of space and everybody's time?
Good point.
And adjusted for the true inflation rate, not the stated one.
Even at 6 or 9% it would be well below the real inflation rate for the last 10 years
Iranian.
Real inflation has been more than 9% over the last 10 years? Based on what?
