They won $96ish million, took the lump payout of $57 military.
How the fuck can you win 96 million on a lottery and only receive 57 mil?
Is that a Freedom©®™ thing the rest of us wouldn't understand? 😂
Taxes.
...Which the rest of the world understands well. So why don't you?
In germany the lottery is state owned and the tax is applied before money is added to the jackpot. So if the jackpot is 50mil you get 50mil
Yeah getting taxed on winnings is fucking insane, and they just say "it is what it is"
Is there any way they don't get fucked in the arse every time they get money 😂
Find a big(trillions) finance firm to move your money into tax differed assets. They'll move the money around so it doesn't get taxed and provide ways to access however much money you need right now. Probably loans against whatever assets you bought.
Your massive inferiority complex regarding America is showing. It's quite clear that you just want to say Murica bad, Muricans dumb, and you can't resist shoehorning that sentiment into completely unrelated discussions.
You should find a healthier way of dealing with that emotion. It's currently making you look like a jackass.
Those poor lottery winners…
American here. That money gets taxed when you buy your number, and when you collect any winnings lol
No sales tax on the ticket in Texas at least
