    I bought 1 ticket, like I do every week...

    I am sure that some 90 year old from Florida won, that always happens...

    Wait, one ticket is one dollar. So do they think that at least 640 million or whatever it was people will buy a ticket?

    Someone's getting an awful lot of money, and maaany many people are losing some. Doesn't make sense to me.

    60% of lottery ticket money goes toward prizes. 25% goes to the states, and 15% to marketing and retailers.
    From the 60% prize money, I think around 25-35% of that goes to taxes, but it depends on a lot of factors, especially which state you live in.
