One billion for tax? They take most of the money.

1.5 billion and only 500 million lump sum? How is it possible? I thought 870M for lump sum.

You guys call the jackpot winner "an instant billionaire" but then you said "after taxes, a lump sum payment will be worth roughly 500 million dollars" Seriously, how's that an instant billionaire with a B??

Me and my friends would be those guys off of veggie tales that go like "allow us to introduce ourselves" to the lottery winner.

Glad he or she can be private! Question, do you have to live in the anonymous states to be private? Or just purchase in that state to be private?

[josephholdman]

He using cheat code in real life that how he won

Wouldn't it be something if the winner accidentally lost his/ her ticket it's something odd that the winner hasn't at least come forward. With that amount of winnings at least the media aught to be saying that the winner has come forward even though they don't have to reveal their name because of the law in South Carolina.
