However, the #1 reason not to do that has to do with your ability to manage and/or understand your own finances. If you're hitting these jackpots, it only stands to reason that you put aside a certain % each time to cover possible taxes. Then if you find you don't owe them at year's end, you have a nice pot of extra cash to do something with.
Giving up earned interest doesn't make a lot of sense when working edges of working against casino edges.
