California man asks clerk to choose a lottery game for him, ends up picking out a ticket worth $10MReply
I thought they had taken all the federal taxes on the 10M since Cal does not pay state taxes on lotto. But if I bagged 5.8M after all taxes and the cashier picked the ticket for me (especially a scratch game and not the QP tickets) , I wouldn't think twice about giving them 800K. It was purely the clerk's choice that won.

Well, give the winner a chance to cash the ticket first I suppose is the thing to do here. We do though need a follow up on this story regarding how much he tipped. 800k is a little excessive actually. The winner is not going to get 5.8 million after taxes. They are going to get 5.8 million and then pay the taxes since they took the lump sum. Ballpark around 3 million. The clerk doesn't deserve 30% or so. More like 5% would be fair.
