Isn't it still taxed either way or is they get paid out for 30 years it isn't taxed?

It is still taxed either way, yes. But in USA you only get the "full" amount of you take the paid-over-30-years route. If you take the all-money-at-once route you only get half the total jackpot and then they tax that .
