    So we do all realize that advertised jackpots are annuitized amounts and that the vast majority take the net present value lump sum, which is usually about half the advertised amount, right?

    Winner probably got about six hundred million, of which roughly forty percent was taken for taxes give or take state income tax rates.

      I was with you till the last paragraph. The numbers are already there for you, so I don’t know where 6 hundred million came from.
