How much money did Aura win?
The jackpot was for $30 million, but Aura received $21 million.
I believe this was because she opted to get paid in one lump sum rather than receive annual payments.
According to my research, a ticket for the Florida Lotto usually costs $2, but Aura would have paid more like $5 for her ticket via theLotter.
