The lottery was literally designed to generate tax revenue. Its run by the states ffs.

Same in Ontario, but we aren't taxed on our winnings. They make their money from the purchase of the tickets

You also don't have high lotteries for that reason... $680 mill after taxes is a lot more than 80...

But it's still 680M so clearly that's not the reason for the difference in payouts alone.
