well....lump sum is half before taxes
that’s 33.5 Million...and then Uncle sam takes his bite. and then maybe state taxes.
still....that’s a pretty good payday. God bless her.
Yes, the lump sum amount is a lot less than the annuity amount, roughly half as much. The advertised amount of $66M only applies if you agree to take your winnings over a 20 year period.
Looking at it from the lump sum amount of $35M or so, the $27M payout for the lump sum prize doesn’t look so bad from a tax standpoint.
