Why not just sell tickets in California. They always winning anyways. Can’t make it so obvious.
Yeah, obviously. Costs money when you make money.
If the winner takes the lump sum payout of $549.7M, the privilege of buying that ticket in California will cost them an extra $67M in State Income Tax in addition to the $200M+ in Federal income taxes.
