They won $96ish million, took the lump payout of $57 million.
How the fuck can you win 96 million on a lottery and only receive 57 mil?
Is that a Freedom©®™ thing the rest of us wouldn't understand? 😂
The lottery has 2 possible payout methods. One is over time, something like 21 years, IIRC, that will net you the 96 million. There is also the lump payout option that will net you smaller amount overall but more all at once.
