That's my opinion anyway.

They spend everyday, all day trying to come up with new ways to take more away from us. No use making it easier for them.

And with the financial state CA is in, there's no telling what they might do.

Sound like yet another reason, nd a really strong one, to opt for the cash. What if an annuity kept getting taxed at a higher and higher rate

Off topic, but I am not sure why California doesn't just legalize and tax marijuana. They already tax medical marijuana. Why not just take it one step further

California is flat broke. In fact, they're paying some of their debts with i.o.u's.

If you're a jackpot winner in California, and opted for the annuity payments, are there any guarantees the state won't keep your money to cover its budget shortfalls
