this isnt exactly how it works but its close
state takes in $100m in ticket purchases
assigns %60 or 60 mill in prize money
divides it into brackets for ea prize pool
20% top = 12m
30% middle= 18m
50% lower. =30m
top prize in this instance would be $12 mill, if its annuity they buy state mutual bonds and the payout is paid annually so taxes get taken out the yearly payment.
say %1 interest on bonds, = 120k a year for 25 years,
