Hopefully he’ll tell all his new Maine neighbors how much better things are in Mass and run for selectman and try to change everything.

Funny shit

Im sure they will also want to see some affordable housing projects built in their community and will not think that any new developlent will ruin the charm they fell in love with.

Is it the tourist dollars? the only major city within driving distance? The major airport? The only professional sports teams north of NY? Do you want to give up the Sox, Celtics, Patriots, and Bruins since Mass is so bad? Weird, flex.

$2.6M one time payment. So after taxes, that's like a down payment for a place on MDI or Cape Elizabeth.

Get outta here bub!!

2.6 is the after taxes amount.

Good for him! Just goes to show that living in Massachusetts hasn’t impaired his judgment.

Some Mass guy off my parents road bought a 40k off grid meth camp on a dirt road and then complained to the town for years about the road condition and lack of utilities at his property.

Spoiler: he sold the place I believe.

I’ve got nothing against our average MA brethren. Only the Boston suburbanites. Not even the people who grew up in the city. Just the suburbanites.

I’m mean why not- Massachusetts basically owns the coast as it is- in york county anyway….🤷‍♂️

As long as they can't see those housing projects from their house or anywhere in town.

I don't want to be an old, cranky, carmudgeon. But holy hell. We've lived in the seacoast area for 30+ years now and GOOD FUCKING GOD Ogunquit has become gentrified to the extreme. It's not even the same town anymore. York is right behind.

You sure? The cash option is usually about half, then another good chunk goes to taxes. My guess is they took home closer to 1.5M.

Four million will get him a lovely studio in York County these days!

Even if you do not want to read the article, all you need do is click on the photo in upper right corner. He won 4M, took home 2.6 after taxes.

Now careful there, it can't be in this one piece of property that is virtually landlocked and far from public view because then it is destroying the natural environment and they walked through there once in their imagination, so it shouldn't be disturbed.

I did read the article and that's not what it says at all. I was just trying to not be a dick about it. Try it some time.

>instant ticket game prize in the form of a one-time payment of $2,600,000, according to the Massachusetts Lottery Commission.

He still has to pay taxes on it. His actual take home will be closer to 1.5M.

There's probably a semi-possibly-endangered species that someone has seen once nearby as well!

Again, for the person who is bad at observing the obvious: man wins $4 million. There is the photo of him holding the fake $4 million check showing how much the jackpot was. After taxes, he takes home $2.6 million of that $4 million.

Question: What happened to the $1.4 million that he won but did not take home?

Answer: The $1.4 million he did not take home is the amount that was withheld for taxes.

Gratuitous observation: while we hear the rumors of double taxation, this man was not taxed twice on the same lottery winnings. The state/feds will have to be happy with the $1.4 million that was withheld.

This is not true. The prize payout is structured as 4 million by way of 200K per year for 20 years. By choosing a one time payout, you lose a lot of that money but get it immediately. That is where the 1.4 million went. He still has to pay taxes on 2.6 million.

Thank you lol this guy is such a penis

Dude, you’re wrong. $4 million is the jackpot if you take the annuity. It’s 2.6 million if you take the lump sum, which you still need to pay taxes on.

Reading comprehension and google are your friends.

It's always fun to see how people will respond when told they are wrong about something.

Will they double and triple down and continue to be a jerk? Will they register what they've been told as new information and verify for themselves, then say oh my bad? Delete the comment? It's almost always the first option.

Ha, he went with option 4 -- Abusing the suicide prevention report feature. Trying to report them, but it's not going through. If anyone else can report them that'd be grand.

Loser.

Lol. They just can’t admit they’re wrong!

It's a symptom of the internet, we don't talk to each other like people and when confronted even in the gentlest of ways with an opposing viewpoint or correction to a false claim it goes directly to insults and doubling down on the original claim almost 100% of the time. Where is the shame in saying"okay, I didn't know that, my bad"?

I bet he deletes the comments eventually, seems like they at least realize they are wrong now.

He doesn't get four million. See above.

Not enough
