Now here's the part that really sucks for him ... Idaho is among the few lottery states that also taxes lottery winnings at the state level to the tune of 8%!

So the above stated amounts are reduced a bit more ... annual further reduced to around $400K and lump sum further reduced to around $6.7 Million.

Despite the big tax bite ... bigger than many folks may realize ... he's still getting a lot of money ... hopefully he has better luck with his money than Jack Whittaker had.
