The winner hasn't come forward yet, but someone in Lutz, Florida (just north of Busch Gardens) got all the numbers right and is about to become stupid rich. According to NBC2 the numbers were 06-14-38-39-65-06. That ticket is worth $238 million.
My new best friend hasn't come forward yet to disclose whether they are taking payments or the lump sum. If they take the lump sum amount they'd get around $160 million before taxes. The top income tax rate is currently 37% (about to go to 39.6%). So the after tax take home is around $100 million.
I'm no investment advisor, but with that cash you could buy 552,486 shares of Gamestop and just YOLO those winnings. Or you could buy a house next to Tom Brady and party like this:
