If one chooses to take the lump sum (I would), the amount is immediately lowered by 30%.
Fed taxes are like an additional 30%.
State taxes vary with New York being among the worst. Yet an additional 11%.
60% + is taxed.
70% depending on which state you live in.
I'm sure we would all happily take the remaining 350 - 450 million but I mean fark,
Where is all this tax revenue going to?

if the next two draws are a loss then a single winner might be a legitimate billionaire after taxes. I'd say it was rigged if it got that high, though.
