WOW only one winning jackpot ticket -- super exciting and congratulations (hope winning ticket holder quickly puts some of their family and/or friends on the claim form for a lesser percentage share)!!!

Is this jackpot amount mentioned annutized (if yes how many annual payouts?) or immediate lump-sum cash

I wasn't asking if Americans were taxed on this lottery,since we know that our government taxes us on everything.I was asking if the winner or other European winners were taxed on their winnings.

Yes, I believe this is true. Taxation is the soft tyranny that has encroached on practically every point on the planet.

You're right about this! Of course, with Papa Obama's multi-trillion dollar SPENDING budget, no American will be able to hide one red cent from the BIG hands our government will be holding out over the next 4 years. Oh well....I didn't vote him in nor any of the liberal spending Democrats.

Wrong about it being Tax Free Money! If you are an American Citizen you will pay taxes to the IRS! No more hiding money in any Swiss Bank account for any American! The Swiss Government/banking system are now cooperating with the IRS and turning in the vast amount of Americans with accounts in their banks! Besides most of the European Union Countries are cooperating with the IRS in reporting the Americans with bank accounts within the European Union

I think you read it wrong. It says a central Madrid lottery sales office . In other words, a lottery sales office that is located in the center part of the city of Madrid.

One lucky lottery ticket from Spain matched 5 lotto numbers plus the two Lucky Stars in Friday's Euro Millions drawing to win a massive jackpot of 126 million (US$170 million).

The winning ticket, worth 126,231,764 (US$170,198,287), was sold in a central Madrid lottery sales office.

As one would expect, the winner has not yet been revealed. Government lottery offices nor... [ More ]
