when someone wins the lottery, they don't get the full amount if they cash out. a lady that recently won the powerball lived in my county. she won $590.5 million and chose the cash out, only getting $370.9 million BEFORE taxes. we know that the IRS will take about 40% of her payout so she'll be left with about $200 million. the $170 million IRS got is NEVER reported or talked about as income for the US government and is surely never calculated when they come up with their tax numbers. that's one scam.
but that's NOT the kicker here. let's get back to the original $590.5 million win and the winner only getting $370.9 million.
my question is, where did the $219 million + go when she took the payout instead of payments? florida's roads are rotten beyond belief. we know it's not going there. monies made from the lottery were supposed to fund more benefits and increased budget for florida schools, but it hasn't gone there either. so who exactly IS getting that money?
