It's up to like 100 million right now! How much do they take out in taxes and where does it go?

The state take no taxes.

The Feds take around 25% before you even see the check.

The dollar amount is if you take payments over 25 years.  If you take it up front as a lump sum it's about half that (before the Feds get their cut).

Both Feds and the State takes their cut (taxes) before you see a dime.  Someone won $100M some time ago and ended up with maybe $40M or less.  I originally thought it was $25M.

Ohhhh yeh, I'm winning tonight

That's my plan, just picked up some tickets, I probably should have gotten more than $5 worth though.
