There are 182 million reasons to dream, especially what you would do with the jackpot money. However, one thing all lottery winners have to take into account is the fact that their prizes will be taxed. So how much do you really get after taxes? It depends on a couple of factors: do you have to pay state taxes where you live? Will you take the lump sum payment or the annuity payout? According to Mega Millions' website, those electing to take the annuity option get one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, a process that is identical to Powerball with their payouts.

Winning Mega Millions ticket worth $4.6 sold at Tarzana liquor store
A Mega Millions lottery ticket worth more than $4.6 million was sold at a Tarzana liquor store on Friday. The ticket, which matched five of the six numbers necessary to take home the total jackpot worth $166 million, was sold at Spirits World Liquor on Burbank Boulevard, according to the California Lottery. Had it matched all six numbers, 2, 6, 8, 14, 39 and the Mega number of 12, it would've been the only winning ticket sold and the first in 12 drawings. Now, without a jackpot winner, the next drawing on Tuesday will be worth approximately $182 million. Friday's second-place ticket is the second-largest win for non-jackpot winning lottery player in Mega Millions history, following only a $7.7 million draw in 2022. "In any other state, someone with a ticket matching five numbers would win a fixed prize of at least $2 million, depending on the randomly assigned multiplier. In California, the prizes are all paid on a pari-mutuel basis, which means a winning Mega Millions ticket – even in a 2nd place or lower prize tier – can sometimes earn a much larger prize," said a news release from CA Lottery officials. The odds of matching all six Mega Millions numbers is 1 in 290,472,336, according to the Mega Millions Consortium. The odds of winning a prize is 1 in 23.
