In germany the lottery is state owned and the tax is applied before money is added to the jackpot. So if the jackpot is 50mil you get 50mil
American here. That money gets taxed when you buy your number, and when you collect any winnings lol
No sales tax on the ticket in Texas at least
Well that's good lol.
Yeah getting taxed on winnings is fucking insane, and they just say "it is what it is"
Is there any way they don't get fucked in the arse every time they get money 😂
Your massive inferiority complex regarding America is showing. It's quite clear that you just want to say Murica bad, Muricans dumb, and you can't resist shoehorning that sentiment into completely unrelated discussions.
You should find a healthier way of dealing with that emotion. It's currently making you look like a jackass.
Find a big(trillions) finance firm to move your money into tax differed assets. They'll move the money around so it doesn't get taxed and provide ways to access however much money you need right now. Probably loans against whatever assets you bought.
Those poor lottery winners…
