it's like 20 percent or something like that +income tax if that's applicable in your state.

20% out of 600 million is a lot.

And the'll continue to tax you annually and depending on your job, that 600 mill is going to run out sooner or later.

That is how much they would take if it was 20%

So? 480 million is a lot of money too. Whatever you have leftover is still more than most people could earn in 10 lifetimes.

Lottery winnings are included as income for Federal Income Tax... and the highest bracket is 39.6%, not 20%; so almost double that tax; +state tax

Also, I wonder how terrible the payout options look like. There's no way they're gonna give that in a lump sum.
