"If the winner chooses the cash option, the payout is $86.4 million before taxes."

That's out of a 143 million jack pot. 86/143= .60...60%, right?

86x.36(tax rate?)= 31 86-36=50 million...so after taxes you end up with 50 mil, right?

so you end up with 50/143=.35...so after taxes you end up with 35% or 50 mil.

Did I do that right?

Wow...for two dollars you get a 160 million to 1 odds of getting ripped off to the tune of 64%.

Nice...

what a rip off...
