It’s run along side with the national lottery off the tv , whatever bonus ball is dropped is the number that’s crossed off if you’ve picked it first to cross off their 6 numbers is the winner

What fucks me off with the US lottery is that if you win, you have a choice of claimed x amount of the money there and then, or get all of it over a 20 year period.

You don't go into a shop and say "Here's 20c for payment of a lottery ticket, I'll pay you the rest over 20 years", so why should it be okay for the lottery owners to take so long.
Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

You get something like 50% - maybe wrong, but it's nowhere near the full amount. Plus, there's taxes to pay.

$1.5 billion win...
Prize money = taxable income: Lottery winnings are taxed like income, and the IRS taxes the top income bracket 39.6%. The government will withhold 25% of that before the money ever gets to the winner. The rest has to be paid at tax time.
Payout options: Exactly how much a winner owes in taxes will depend on how they opt to have the prize money distributed.

Lottery winners can choose to take a one-time cash payout, or to receive annual payments for the next 30 years.

If the winner opts for the lump sum, Powerball will award the jackpot's "cash value," which is about $930 million. That means the recipient would pay the income tax on that amount up front.
