Adjustments
Prize tiers 1 & 2 are subject to a deduction for state and federal tax that is paid by winners of the underlying lottery draw. This is approximately 38% but varies based on a number of factors.
Payments are available in yearly instalments (20 year annuity) or all at once (lump sum). Depending on the jackpot size, lump sum payments are subject to a further variable adjustment (minimum 40%) as determined by the underlying lottery, same as a winner in the USA. Max payout shown is indicative only and the final jackpot value can only be determined once the draw has concluded. The final payout plan chosen is at our sole discretion.
The advertised jackpot amount shows the value without any deductions or lump sum calculations. Only once winnings are confirmed by our hedging partners will the final prize amounts be known.
