Yeah it'd be nice to know what they are saying the 28% is literally as I'm reluctant to buy a ticket for that reason without knowing HOW much you'd be paying to get it if you win.

Any "winnings"...be it Las Vegas or raffles. You have to pay the tax on the amount/items won.

I want to win a ZR1, but can't afford to pay the taxes up front. What happens if you opt to take the money? Do they just take the taxes out of that, or you have to pay first?

I would assume you have to pay taxes upfront. Don't really know. But if you could get the title first and then apply for a title loan that would work.

But seriously you don't have 25k laying around....pshsh
