Lotto Dreams · Winnings Planner

You just won $500,000,000 Now what?

Here's what's actually left after taxes, how much you could safely live on every year, and how much you could give away — without ever running out.

Example based on a $500M jackpot. The app runs the real math for any amount.

The reality check

What $500,000,000 actually becomes

Lump sum, after estimated tax ~50% cash value, minus ~42% combined federal & state tax $145,000,000
Safe annual withdrawal At a 3.5% rate, modeled to last indefinitely $5,075,000/yr
You could give away today And still withdraw ~$4,025,000 every year, forever $30,000,000

Illustrative example only, not financial or tax advice — actual lump sum value, tax burden, and safe withdrawal rate depend on the specific lottery, your state, and your choices. Lotto Dreams models your real numbers in the app.

How it works

Three numbers most winners never actually see clearly

01

Lump sum vs. annuity, compared honestly

See the actual cash value of your jackpot against the 30-year annuity, after estimated federal and state tax, side by side — so you know which one really leaves you with more.

02

See your withdrawal play out, year by year

Set how much you want to withdraw every year, then watch how the balance moves over time — whether it lasts indefinitely, runs out by a certain age, or even keeps growing.

03

Gift money without guessing

Decide on a gift amount and instantly see how it changes your annual withdrawal for the rest of your life. No spreadsheet required.
