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? 😂
Taxes.
...Which the rest of the world understands well. So why don't you?
In germany the lottery is state owned and the tax is applied before money is added to the jackpot. So if the jackpot is 50mil you get 50mil
Yeah getting taxed on winnings is fucking insane, and they just say "it is what it is"
Is there any way they don't get fucked in the arse every time they get money 😂
