Yes. The State deducts and the fed simultaneously INTIALLY dedicts 25% from all U.S.A. lottery gross wins (plus Fed takes additional 5% when winner documents win and submits their income tax form the following year).

A BIG congratulations to the joyful, three-time day winner

That amount of $ 500,000 definitedly would be life changing for me , especially with talks of RIFs (Reduction In Force) and widespread unemployment.

Georgia usually withholds 25% for federal taxes which would have left 750,000. I wonder, could he have requested the state take their taxes out now? I think it is 6 to 7%.

oh well, Congratulations to the winners.

Wow, that store was paying out alot, the $500 $20 hits would have made my day alone !!!

But if I did hit all three I would have handed the $20 winner to another player in the store just spread the wealth a little and make someone else's day

Not life changing? A 10,000 dollar win would be life changing for me now...

Great story... I just have a hard time understanding why people ask others to inspect a ticket that wins a jackpot. Seriously, I really don't think I could trust anyone.

The World Class Millions game is paid out in 20 annual installments (for the Extra Chance Drawing), worth $5 Million. Is there an annuity option for the regular scratch offs for this same game? (there are 6 prizes of $1M and 3 prizes of $5M).

Figure the odds: Three winning lottery tickets one of them for $1 million all in the same day.

Michael Warner, 61, of Grayson, Georgia, won the big prize playing the Georgia Lottery instant game World Class Millions, and topped off his winnings with $500 from another instant game, Extreme Green, and $20 from a third lottery ticket.

I could hardly breathe, said the retired Lucent Technologies employee. I was just at the right place at the right time.
