Lottery winner becomes richer than Taylor Swift with overnight win

The singer of "Blank Space," who joined Forbes' list of billionaires last week with a net worth of $1.1 billion, may have lost her place if the Oregon lottery ticket holder—who is expected to come forward on Monday with the purported winning ticket to claim the enormous $1.326 billion—had come forward.

But regardless of the amount over 30 years—$1.3 billion or $621 million—the lottery winner won't be weeping over the fact that they didn't have Swift's level of net worth at one point.


Despite the fact that Oregon state and federal taxes will also apply to the prize money, this is still a significant victory that will last the winner a lifetime, if not more.
