The annuity prize is $800 million, paid over 30 years. The one-time lump-sum cash option is $344.2 million before federal and state taxes, according to Mega Millions officials. Florida does not tax lottery winnings at the state level, which means the winner avoids one layer of withholding that players in most other states face.
