    In germany the lottery is state owned and the tax is applied before money is added to the jackpot. So if the jackpot is 50mil you get 50mil

      Yeah getting taxed on winnings is fucking insane, and they just say “it is what it is”

      Is there any way they don’t get fucked in the arse every time they get money 😂

        Find a big(trillions) finance firm to move your money into tax differed assets. They’ll move the money around so it doesn’t get taxed and provide ways to access however much money you need right now. Probably loans against whatever assets you bought.
