Experts advise to take cash optionReply
The cash option is much better for most people. The value of the annuity is based on the interest rate on long-term bonds, so if your financial advisors invest the cash properly in a diversified portfolio that includes stocks, you can earn much more. One of the few instances where the annuity option may be better is if the winner is stupid, undisciplined and refuses to follow good advice; such a person may blow his millions quickly while an annuity will limit his losses for each year.

Now.That could explain why the Whites are electing to take a check instead of a guaranteed annual payment of about $7 million, and why the state's three previous Powerball

What would you do with your new fortuneReply
>>The reason I'd probably take the cash is many investment management firms can invest the money and most likely give you a higher return than you get from the annuity.<<<Possible, but doubtful. The annuity is pre-tax. You would have to exceed a 10% return to beat the annuity.
