Questions for Lottery OfficialReply
i realize that lottery officials probably aren't allowed to play the jackpot games to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest...but hypothetically, if he won...would he take cash or annuity? just wondering what his thought are about how lottery issued annuities are really set up and handled. after all, 25 or 30 years is a long time. it would be nice to know his general views and if he would ever consider the annuity route. thanks.
