Your chance of winning Mega Millions is about 1 in 302 million... and even if you do win, you'll be faced with some hefty taxes.
Lottery officials withhold 24% for federal taxes, although you likely would owe much more at tax time.
The game's top prize has been climbing since late July, when a single ticket sold in New Hampshire matched all six numbers to win $168 million. And while the odds are stacked against players hitting the jackpot — your chance is about 1 in 302 million — the IRS is always a guaranteed eventual winner.
