If you win the lottery, how much money do you get?

I hear that you don't get what they say the jackpot is.

Usually you get it divided into 20 annual payments. Depending on what state you live in, you could also lose up to 40% to taxes (between state and federal combined).

 
+5

You can chooise to take your amount you won in an annuity or one lump sump. You don't get what the jackpot says because you must pay taxes on your winnings.
