You are right that the taxes being taken out of lottery winnings is too much.

He's a lucky man. I wouldn't do the payments but to each his own.

Jerry was lucky indeed since what the odds of picking up money on the street and buying a lottery ticket and winning a huge prize is pure luck.

I would have felt lucky just to find the $20, but to win big like that is doubly lucky!!
