Power ball in America is a quick money making for the states. Good way to generated revenue. They taxes you about 40%. So if hit $100 million you get $60 million.

Why is it taxed?

The lottery over here isn't taxed! However, the prize pool NEVER jackpots to $100 million. Grin The highest ever won was $36 miliion. Tax free. That's still alot of money. Smiley

If you win $100 million, the first tax is 44% and you got $56 million left, then you are hit with a second tax which is 35% and your final take home is ~$36.4 million.

After 44% taxes. You'll get less if taking lum sum instead of 30 year payment.

I like Spain lottery. If the pot is $300 million they'll draw 300 wining ticket $1 million each. Instead of one winner take all.

That's probably why they make first prize in America is so high, because they've taken into consideration that the winner will be taxed heavily.

There is a 1:25,000,000 odds (or something like that) of winning the jackpot.  These taxed money supposively goes to education as they say and you have to think it like that.  I only play lotto if the jackpot gets to $25,000,000 and above and $2 is enough for me (not a gambler)  or once in awhile just for fun.  I had 4/6 numbers drawn and won $125 about 10 years ago and so far my lotto gambling money is at the positive end til this day Cool.

Overall I think around 35-40%. There's taxes on everything. Every single dollars you earn Uncle Sam want a piece if it.

After all said and done, you'd get ~36% of the total jackpot.

Lot of taxes but it's still free money if you win. They say about 1/2 of the people go broke in couple of year after winning a power-ball. You have more, spend more.

Money management problem.  If I have so many millions, I would invest in land because land gurantees to increase in value every year.  Laos would be a perfect place to put your money on Wink.
