Original Note:
Any large lottery payout is advertised as the total that would be eventually paid out if the winner took it as a 30 year annuity. If the winner takes a lump sum, only about half the advertised value is paid. Of that, the IRS withholds about 24%. The IRS wins ~137M here. https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2023/07/18/1-billion-powerball-after-taxes/70423514007/
