Horse shoes and hand grenades.Winning ticket sold 3 miles from my house. Not my ticket.... I can say with fairly high confidence that this will be the closest I come to ever winning.
What are the odds that there would be 3 winners of the jackpot, and all three are in states that don't tax lottery winnings?

Officials with the Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs the Powerball game, said they expected more than 85 percent of the possible number combinations would have been bought for the drawing.

CA winner is just one individual, it seems like.I hope large groups of people won, not just three individuals. There is certainly enough to go around. Good luck to all who won - hope they keep their heads on straight.
Pretty sure lottery winnings are exempt from taxes in CA.PS - one winner was in CA (has a State Income Tax), the other was in FL (no SIT), and one was TN (no SIT, but tax on int/divs). So 7 of the 44 states in the Powerball have no SIT (and then there is PR, VI, DC, I assume each has a local Income Tax?). So even 2 out of three in that small group seems like slim odds, but you'd need to do it with sales #'s, though TN and FL ought to be fairly typical?

Yup. Surprisingly.
The luckiest Powerball winner would be someone who is a resident of Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington or Wyoming — those states participate in Powerball but do not have a personal income tax. California and Pennsylvania also exempt lottery winnings from state income tax if you bought the ticket in state, according to lottery information site USAMega.com.
Bless you my wife echoed that sentimentI hope large groups of people won, not just three individuals. There is certainly enough to go around. Good luck to all who won - hope they keep their heads on straight.
Erd, according to a lottery website, California doesn't tax lottery winnings. So it is 3 of 3 not taxing the winnings.
