That's only the withholding tax.
The full tax will be based on the 37% top marginal rate and will be roughly $140.8 million. You have to make up the difference on the 2019 return.

But....SPOILER ALERT.....

You didn't win.

Thanks, Bendable. A fun tool. Can anyone tell me what residency is based on for taxes? For example, can I move to Fl before cashing in and avoid Ky taxes?

I'm not a statistician, but believe your analysis to be incorrect. Buying 10 tickets actually does give you a 10x better chance of winning, it's just that the odds suck so bad it's unlikely to matter.

ummm......4/500,000 is exactly the same as 1/125,000.


Maybe . . . but maybe not. I'm not sure statistical ratios "reduce" like normal fractions. But I never finished college.

Looks like lottery winners in PA will remain FOIA-accessible. (A bill in 2017 or so went nowhere). PA is losing money to Ohio and Delaware. But in general, Pennsylvanians are big lottery players.

They do. In the case you presented, the numbers are fixed and not "reset" after each draw. It's different when you are repeatedly flipping a coin. In that case, the next flip is independent of the previous results.

My wife bought a ticket. We would do the one time cash out.
Half to church and charities.
The rest to a modest, yet nice home paid off, step kids (her kids) set for life, grandkids set for life, a huge gun library, a nice road trip car, and a nicer off road vehicle. My current is awesome, but I’d love to have another 100 cc and a turbo. More than double the HP is never bad. =)

It's my belief that the Pennsylvania Lottery has misrepresented odds for years, in an attempt to lure the masses into playing. The Millionaire Lottery is one example. 500,000 tickets, $20 each, each ticket with a single unique number on it. Officials draw four numbers for four million-dollar prizes.

Well, to be fair... The first ticket increases your chances from 0% to slightly more than 0%, which is a larger percentage increase than the 2x slightly greater than 0% chance two tickets gives you.

I'll admit, it piqued my interest when I first saw it was a WI winner.

Checked my ticket, and wahh-wahh, I had but one of the numbers.

Ticket was sold up near Milwaukee. Store gets 100k. Happy for them, and surprised it was actually won by a Wisconsinite, instead of NY, CA or FL for a change.

You can always buy a commercial annuity with all or part of the lump sum, and almost certainly get a better rate anyways.
