The reason for the lump sum payout of 88 mil while the jackpot was 232 mill is that the 232 mill is if you choose to take payment over 20 years, if you choose the lump then the prize ends up being like 120 mil, still you loose a 1/3 to taxes but oh well you still have 82 mill more than before.
pay your share of taxes and stfu.

I don't know the Wanless family any. I think they will finally get out of the rut they have been in and have money to enjoy life instead of worrying all of the time.
God Bless the Wanless Family.
Now just enjoy life to its fullest.

They were saying on the news they hope wanless will invest in the schools there and such.... If he so chooses too that's fine but just because he won it doesn't make it his place to... That would and always will be the states problem.... They get so much money from the lottery to help with schools and that kind of thing already.... To the wanless family, WAY TO GO...
