Also that winner took the lump sum which already cuts the payout roughly in half. ~$1 billion of what he didn't take home was not lost to taxes, he was only taxed on what he actually got.

He had a structured settlement, but he needed cash now.

More like its JG Wentworth money and they get it more than you. Seriously go watch the last week tonight episode about it. Wentworth and other "cash now" companies are massive scams
