*$700,000,000 Taxes m8, Uncle Sam's gotta take his cut.

No matter how much I get, I'll still be depressed so don't really give a -blam!-

Disappear from greedy family & friends. Use it to live a calm, isolated, zen-infused life as far away from anyone as possible.

1.3 billion dollars worth of hookers....

1.3 billion. 300 Americans in the us. 4.3 million per American and end the welfare system and poverty. Instead we are letting one jackass gold plate his balls Edit: You guys know what sarcasm is?

Wait wait wait... In America you can be taxed if you win the jackpot on the lottery? Ahahahahahahah that's f*cking stupid *･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

After taxes and paying all the fees and taking the lump sum of cash it would be around 650 million dollars . Now ... To put it in perspective you could spend 1,000,000 dollars a year . And you would still have enough to last 650 years for you and your descendants giving you spend it all . Also : The average income of an in the United States of America is around 50,000 dollars Now if a person can live with 50,000 dollars a year , with a decent apartment , and have all their needs met , like food , water , and entertainment, and still have enough to save 1500 dollars a year for emergencies . That means that with that amount of money . You could live and spend 4x that amount and make it 200,000 thousand a year and you would still have enough to last [b][i]3250[/i][/b] years , the amount of money for an average person it is so large that it boggles my mind how people that win 10-50-150 million dollars lose it all in 5-10 years . Furthermore if you were to put that money into a cd account , you would get 1,7550,000 million dollars back just from the interests alone ... Seriously people ... Whoever wins the lotto use it smart .. And don't spend it all at once ... [b][i]edit [/i][/b] like many have reply , the math is wrong and the sum could be between 250 -450 million , depending. On which state you live , but regardless of the sum . If you can live with the amount of money you make a year . Whatever amount you win from a lottery wether is 1 million , or 100 . Use it to propel yourself into a much better state , don't spend it in things that will just waste your money . If you want to help your family , help them with things that will increase their wealth , not things that will put them in more debt later . Especially if you know that they don't have a good concept for managing money . I may be a poor college student and only make 19k a year , but if I can barely survive with that , then anyone making 60-70-160k a year . Can live within their means and become rich in the process .

Cash out is 806 million. Or you can take payments every year for 30 years. You wouldn't ever see a billion. =)
