HOW MUCH DO YOU PROFIT AFTER TAXES?

There are 437 million reasons to dream, especially what you would do with the jackpot money. However, all lottery winners must expect that their winnings will be taxed.

So how much do you really get after taxes?

It depends on several factors: Do you have to pay state taxes where you live? Do you take advantage of the one-off payment or the pension payment?
