El premio mayor del Powerball sube a $380 millones: los 8 estados donde ganarías más

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:20:30 GMT

El premio mayor de la lotería del Powerball subió sigilosamente a $380 millones antes del sorteo del lunes por la noche, pero si tiene la suerte de ganar, la cantidad que realmente se lleva a casa probablemente sea mucho menor. Depende de dos factores: el tipo de pago que elijas y el estado en el que vives. Para el pago, tiene dos opciones: una suma global pagada de inmediato o una anualidad repartida en 30 años. Con la opción de anualidad, recibirá el monto total del premio mayor. Con el pago de la suma global, recibirá el 52% del monto del premio mayor, según los cálculos del sitio de lotería usamega.com. Muchos ganadores eligen la opción de suma global ya que el dinero se puede reinvertir de inmediato, aunque en general es menos dinero. Más allá de eso, también hay que pagar impuestos. Si bien los impuestos estatales varían, todos los ganadores pagan un impuesto de retención federal por adelantado del 24% sobre las ganancias. Sin embargo, es probable que deba otro 13%, ya que el ...

Orioles overcome miscues in field, on base to beat Cubs, 6-3, avoid sweep

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:20:30 GMT

The Orioles have avoided being swept this season by frequently managing to capitalize on their opponents’ mistakes. On Sunday, they had to overcome their own to dodge a third straight loss to the Chicago Cubs.Baltimore bounced back from a series of self-inflicted wounds for a 6-3 victory in the series finale at Wrigley Field, defeating the Cubs to avoid what would’ve been the team’s first sweep in this season’s 23 series. Manager Brandon Hyde said before the game that the Orioles’ clubhouse features “a bunch of pros who don’t panic,” and his team showcased that in a game that featured lapses in the field and on the bases.The Orioles (44-27) entered the sixth inning trailing by a run largely thanks to two defensive miscues within one at-bat. After a shaky first, right-hander Dean Kremer retired nine straight Cubs, including two strikeouts to start the fourth, then induced two seemingly catchable balls off Cody Bellinger’s bat that...

Ticker: Musk says call to tax the rich won’t see action; State’s jobless rate dips below 3%

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:20:30 GMT

Elon Musk, the world’s richest-person and head of electric carmaker Tesla Inc., said President Joe Biden’s call for more taxes on super-wealthy Americans will only hurt lower-to-middle income groups.“I agree that we should make elaborate tax-avoidance schemes illegal, but acting upon that would upset a lot of donors, so we will see words, but no action,” he said in a tweet. “Those who will actually be forced to carry the burden of excess government spending are lower to middle income wage earners, as they cannot escape payroll tax.”Musk’s tweet came in response to one from Biden saying “It’s about time the super-wealthy start paying their fair share.”During his campaign rally in Philadelphia on Saturday, Biden asked union workers to support his reelection bid and called for new taxes on the wealthy and corporations.State’s jobless rate dips below 3%The Massachusetts unemployment rate dropped to 2.8 percent in May, nearly a full point below the national rate, as the labor market cont...

Cruising to Nome 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:20:30 GMT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The cruise ship with about 1,000 passengers anchored off Nome is too big to squeeze into into the tundra city’s tiny port. Its well-heeled tourists had to shimmy into small boats for another ride to shore.It was 2016, and at the time, the cruise ship Serenity was the largest vessel ever to sail through the Northwest Passage.But as the Arctic sea ice relents under the pressures of global warming and opens shipping lanes across the top of the world, more tourists are venturing to Nome — a northwest Alaska destination known better for the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and its 1898 gold rush than luxury travel.The problem remains: There’s no place to park the big boats. While smaller cruise ships are able to dock, officials say that of the dozen arriving this year, half will anchor offshore.That’s expected to change as a $600 million-plus expansion makes Nome, population 3,500, the nation’s first deep-water Arctic port. The expansion, expected ...
