The United States has the fifth largest lottery win in the country’s history. The full hit could reach more than a billion dollars — until the taxman takes his share.
The winning numbers for the US Mega millions lottery draw have been published. For example The CNN channel told about them on their website (you will switch to another service). The dreams of the New Yorkers who bought the coupon before the lottery were familiar to Finns as well.
Carmen Rodriguez planned to travel to Spain, Greece and Germany, and have experiences similar to the Game of Thrones series. However, the biggest dream would be a palace in Italy.
New Yorkers promised to remember the poor as well
Most of those interviewed on the streets of New York remembered the poor. Yolanda Cleveland promised to support the homeless as well as his own children.
Registering as an animal lover Johnny Lynch said that everyone also deserves at least one decent cheeseburger a year.
A nurse at St. Luke’s Hospital, who did not want to give her name, felt that children’s education and cancer research would be worthy of support.
Federal and state taxes are heavy
In the United States, the lottery does not bring a pure profit, but federal and state taxes cut more than half of the amount.
Still, the profit left over from the $1.1 billion profit amount – about one billion euros – can reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
If they wish, the winner can also choose an annual income instead of the jackpot, which would fatten the account by tens of millions of dollars every year until the beginning of the 2050s.
