Lottery winnings aren't actually taxable here in Canada, but if a Canadian wins a US lottery the IRS might withhold some of it (30%?). DFS seems to be more interesting here. If you are a casual player, I believe winnings are considered a windfall and don't need to be reported. If you derive a considerable, sustainable income from it, then it's taxed as regular income (as far as I know).
My DK winnings shouldn't need to be reported at tax time to the CRA, and weren't withheld by the IRS either after signing the form stating no US business interests or whatever.
Yeah, I've kind of wondered that myself. I know the math says you're better off taking the lump sum, but that assumes that your spending habits would be the same in both cases, which seems unlikely. Regardless, the only "lottery" I play is the DFS variety, so it's a decision I'll likely never have to make.
Please don't use FIP, especially for a pitcher pitching in Oakland. Regardless, it's 2 of the last 4 years. He's being paid as an elite closer without the kind of track record you'd like to see in order to support it. While I'd really like to see us address the pen, I'm glad we aren't the ones paying him that.
It would be interesting if they got a second QB. They could both line up for the snaps and Lemar could serve as both a QB and running back as needed, the new guy mostly for passing.
My all-day lineup is doing pretty good.
Allen, Jones, McKissic, Woods, Diggs, Beasley, Gronk, Kupp, Rams. 118 points with 3 guys to go.
CPT: Jones, Brady, Godwin, Evans, Thomas, Sims in the showdown tonight. Not sure about this one.
