I hope it hasn’t.

I want the world’s first billion dollar lottery prize to go to one winner.

Me.

They could beat out Soros and Mitt too buy the Presidency for themselves!

After taxes it would be less than a billion. And the shown jackpot is the inuity which I think most people would not take.

After taxes (federal withholding of 25% plus state income tax) with the cash option is about half the shown jackpot.

It’s funny how everyone, including me usually only buys them when the jackpot is huge, because you know a cool 20 mil would change your life almost as much as 400 million.

Now if it gets around several billion then you’re talking enough to buy major sports franchises. I wonder what the least vauable MLB team is, The Royals are worth 350 mil.
