Mega Vs Power, Something is off..Reply
The argument has always been that the company that buys the government securities could go bankrupt. So then the concern is what happens to the annuity if the company goes bankrupt?

It appears MM are over-inflating the annuity option by quite a margin. How do you overinflate the result of a math equation?

Seems very unfair, but the best option is to take the annuity option when prize amount is half a billion or more if you're thinking about generational wealth for the long run.

When you are a regular they give you a plastic pouch to Keep your play slips so you can easily replay it And then he decides to Cash one ticket first so he can test his arrangement and not be overwhelmed but later he be back to get the second half lol maybe one ticket Annuity the other ticket Lump sum or even better he can put the second ticket as a Group ticket for his family so his name won't be on it so don't be surprised if
