Note that most of that difference is due to picking the lump sum, not due to taxes.

If the winner picks the lump sum, that $2.04 billion drops to $997.6 million.

Also I'm not sure where the $424M number is from. The federal tax rate is 37% (bringing the sum down to $628M) and California (where the winner is) doesn't tax these winnings.
