But here in Québec ....It is the only area where there are no taxes...unless ... You are a little indian...
ahhhh... well, I have Pawnee heritage, way back there, but that won't qualify me.. In Texas we don't have to file state income tax at tax time,and there's only a handful of states that do that here. So, I won't have to pay an additional 40% to the state after giving the feds their 40%. Which is, of course, after taking the 50% cash option... so leseee, that leaves one with 1/8 the original jackpot in a state that collects state taxes. I'll still take that cuz 1/8th of 53 million is approximately 7 million.
