HOW MUCH DO YOU WIN AFTER TAXES?
One thing all lottery winners have to take into account is the fact that their prizes will be taxed.
So, how much do you really get after taxes?
It depends on a couple of factors: do you have to pay state taxes where you live? Will you take the lump sum payment or the annuity payout?
According to Powerball's website, those electing to take the annuity option are guaranteed to get 30 gradual payments over a 29-year period.
