How the fuck can you win 96 million on a lottery and only receive 57 mil?
Is that a Freedom©®™ thing the rest of us wouldn't understand? 😂
Taxes.
...Which the rest of the world understands well. So why don't you?
In germany the lottery is state owned and the tax is applied before money is added to the jackpot. So if the jackpot is 50mil you get 50mil
American here. That money gets taxed when you buy your number, and when you collect any winnings lol
No sales tax on the ticket in Texas at least
Well that's good lol.
