I'm pretty sure the 930 mil was after taxes already for one winner.
That was the cash value on the 1.5 billion jackpot. It went a little higher, so the cash value was probably raised too, but I haven't seen exactly what it turned out to be. The cash value is what the lottery would have to invest to pay out 1.5 million over 30 years if the winner opts for the annuity.
If you opt for cash, you still owe taxes on that lower amount.

Nah, if 1 winner got it it would be 930M - %40 tax = ~558M or so.
Glad it was 3 winners.
I got 15 tickets between 3 friends....matched only like 4 numbers on 4 separate lines....oh well was fun to day dream and shopping cars/homes online while it lasted....
Wow.....only 86%. That's lower than I had anticipated.
Ye, me too! I was sure would be above 90% with some 450m tickets sold and $3B wasted on this silly game. But did create 76 new millionaires.
I mostly play for $2m w/PP and hope for x10 instead of jp anyway.
