Megamillions $303 millionReply
Friday 9/28/2018 MegaMillion jackpot is Annuity = $336,000,000.00 The Cash Lump Sum after all taxes are paid here in California = $122,850,000.00 What do you think? This decent annuity amount should attract more players. Will you be able to make the Cash Lump Sum last for your lifetime? and your heirs lifetimes? Are you young enough that you will choose the Annuity? Good Luck!

Mega Millions $252,000,000.00Reply
music, I forget who but a poster here used to have a sig: You can always buy a better annuity I'm guessing that is very true.

He might have taken cash vs the annuity for investment reasons since many expect the stock market to have even bigger gains this year.
