You guys pay tax on the lottery! What a rip off!

I noticed on the website the guy who won $93m but only got $36m, talk
about being stiffed.

Our lottery pays out tax free and in a lump sum. None of this pay you
over 20 years crap. You win $93m you get $93m.


Who runs your lottery, some sort of organized crime syndicate?
Because, I can't believe that a governmental agency would run one
as you describe.


Canada.. does not charge any tax on lottery winnings..
on interest earned, but not on amount won. Current 6-49 national Lottery
is currently up to around $30 million and the winner will get a cheque
for all of it.
