He won $500,000 on a scratch off. They took $180,000 off the top for taxes when he got the money. Since he won, it jumped him into a higher tax bracket, so he had to pay another $43,000 in taxes for the difference. He used almost all the winnings to pay off his house and car, so now he's trying to figure out how to pay the $43k in taxes. Fucked up situation if you ask me.
