Only problem is if you win that $1.6 billion, in the USA you'd get taxed at the highest winnings rate of 39.6%

So winnings = $1.6 billion.
Taxable amount = 633.6 million
Actual winnings = 966.4 million

It varies between 30% - 40% depending on which state the lotto ticket is claimed in.

If you win then do yourself a favour and fly to Vegas to claim it. They'll only take 30% of your winnings.

One other thing to note about the lotto win is that if you buy the ticket via Lottoland then Lottoland reduces the total by 38% so realistically Lottoland would claim it in a 30% state and keep the 8% for themselves on top of the massive mark-up they already put on tickets.

Less. At current exchange rates you'd only get around 1.4 billion. Couldn't even by a house in Sydney with that kind of money.

The checkout did a segment last year on companies like Lottoland. They aren't really a scam, but I think at the very least their advertising / set up is somewhat misleading.

I play lotto occasionally.. but I watched this one day and now I'm always wondering if it's rigged just like everything else in life?

I’d give all the immediate family $1m each and ask them to never come to me with money issues again. I’d buy Souths and move them to uluru. I’d ask dean pay for a shopping list, and “sponsor” whoever he wants. I’d buy the house next door to des and offer it, rent free, to homeless junkies and hookers.
Finally, I’d build a massive garage and fill it with all that my heart desires.

What a stingy ****

You won 1.6 billion all you can give to your family is just 1 million each ? Before you know it all your loved ones will be on 60 minute , today tonight and other prime time shows telling the world how you deserted your poor family and friends as soon as you became a billionaire.

Lol
