Thats not even the super big one! The Mega Millions was up to 1.537 BILLION! someone from South Carolina won that one last week. And just one winner so they get the whole thing!! Well, after taxes take half of course

Actually they get half BEFORE taxes if they take the cash prize rather than the whole thing over many years.

True but then taxes take even more. I think that article said they'd each only get like 107 million after all the taxes

I know, it's still a TON of money. But compared to the 640 million they advertise..

It's kinda like "bait n switch" where they lure you with huge amounts of money and then if you really want to take, it whittles down to nothing after all the taxes they can think of.
