This. Also if you are a Maine H.S. Senior take advantage of the free years at community college, then transfer into Umaine with the transfer agreements. You can finish up at Umaine or USM in the degree you want, for half the price.

Go to usm for a year, do well and transfer, or go to a community College for ur Gen Ed's and transfer through there

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.

Reminder:

The same party that claims to care about life and the little children values absolutely nothing beyond personal profit and has no solutions for the housing crisis, our homeless crisis, resists funding anything, hates the sick, disabled and addicted, etc.

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.

Reading comprehension and google are your friends.

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.

Thank you lol this guy is such a penis

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.

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.

If I shovel several times during the day, even once an hour during a heavy storm, I can use a push broom instead of a shovel. Really helps my back.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

You know that would seem like the case, except there aren't a glut of empty apartments. Most rent very quickly. So competition is keeping them full regardless of price.

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

Honestly felt nice to plow and shovel snow that wasn’t snow and slush shit. Plowed so smooth

My first round last Thanksgiving (21) was pretty bad. So tired I was nearly useless for a week - I could work for an hour or two and then nap time, and by day 3 my chest was very congested. Got it again this winter and was more like a bad cold - after my quarantine and several negative tests I was able to travel with no problem
