Were happy, but look at where we live, said Brenda Baker, motioning to the public housing building. Our lives could be in jeopardy. Its happy, its joyous, but we have to protect ourselves.

She wins $120 million dollars, net, and she wants to move. Where’s her community spirit?

So Ira Curry is from the Bronx but won the lottery in Georgia. Delightful. No state income tax for Gov. Cuomo on that lottery jackpot!

It's her sister that's in public housing. The winner is an insurance underwriter who, according to the pictures posted, appears to make a good living.

Yeah, she should have the civic duty to “give back” to her community...

Chances are really good, she’ll move from socialist to a Tea Partier just as soon as she discovers the FED will want still more of the Jackpot.. Yep.. :)

I heard the ticket was sold from a small office building newsstand, which would tend to help back up your assertion.

"will rake in $120 million after taxes....Bronx native will take the money after she won half of the $648 million Mega Millions jackpot" 648/2 = 324
324 - 120 = 202
Could that be right?? 202 million in taxes??

that’s my thought....the way the math worked in the video it seems there were four winners, 648/4 =162 - .25 = 125

She elected to take a cash payout, which is considerably less than the other option of a 30 year annuity.

Yep.
The government takes 62% or your ‘winnings’ as a ‘windfall profit’ tax.
Nice scam, if you can get away with it. (which they do)

True, but the 30 year annuity is before taxes, so overtime it’s going to be considerably less and may come close to the ‘cash’ payout she took.

Thats a little better. I’m so tired of treating uninsured people for free who smoke, drink, and have a nicer iphone than I do.

Yep, it’s a con game. You win the lottery but so does the state, the city, the feds, social security, Obamacare and whatever other leeches they can tag on to it. And don’t forget: This is after the state already rakes in a fortune in ticket sales. I mean the odds of winning are something like 200 million to one so you would think just on principle alone they would give the winner a break on the taxes, but noooo...Their rationale is “Well he or she will end up with millions anyway so let’s take as much as we possibly can and then some.” Oh yeah and BTW they just recently raised the odds of winning even higher. You use to have to pick out 6 winning numbers from numbers 1 to 54. Now they raised it from 1 to 74 so there will be less winners from now on.

Cuomo or Bloomy will pass a “metriculation tax” within the next 30 days.
