Good to know! It makes sense to expect such a thing. I just thought the lottery commission usually takes care of that when you pay your original taxes on your winnings. But I guess, since Tonda took the 30 annual payments, that certainly does mean the IRS would keep track of her.

Good for her for doing her math! With the 30 annual payments she gets over $11 million less taxes, versus the $4 million she would have gotten had she taken the cash value option.

Agreed. In the vast majority of all circumstances, a lottery ticket is a piss-poor tip deserving of contempt.
