$2 Billion Jackpot Was Won By One Person In Altadena, California. And In The End The Person Received $424m After Taxes

That's still a lot more money than the average person makes in a lifetime, or double the lifetime. Meanwhile, in Canada, your lottery winnings are not considered regular taxable income, until income is earned on top of the winnings and/or it becomes a taxable investment. So, if you win $1B and it sits in your account, and you're just spending it, you don't even have to report it on your income tax return. But if you invest it in the stock market, or buy property, then you do have to pay whatever amount the tax is on those investments.
