Annuity vs Cash ValueReply
For the first win I would take the Lump sum, but for subsequent winning I might opt for the annuity.

Judging by the cash value if annuity rates weren't so poor it would be there already

Annuity vs Cash ValueReply
I think it depends on the terms. Here in Washington we have a $30 ticket where top prize is $2 million paid at $80,000 for 25 years or you can take $750,000 lump sum. Now seriously in that case the best option is the annuity. But if its $1 million paid at $50,000 for 20 years or $700,000 cash now then you take cash now. Its depends on the terms, which arent always the same or even close to the same. I would bet in most cases, the best move is the annuity. Now to mention everything think

Annuity vs Cash ValueReply
I would take the lump sum and then set up my own Annuity with the lump sum payment...That way you could take whatever you want up front(5-10%) to buy your Estate and everything that goes with that with cash. Then collect a weekly or monthly or yearly check off your Annuity you set up...That way you're locked in to whatever the tax rate is when you collect the lump sum. I can't imagine any situation in America where the tax rates drop. They imop are only going to go up...Take your tax hit now wit

Probably not, though i suspect when the drawing happens the annuity will leap frog into 10th place or maybe even 9th.

California co-winners of $1.6B Powerball jackpot finally come forwardReply
Wow, if this California bought ticket was claimed more than two months after the Powerball drawing date, why wasn't it forced to be paid out via ANNUITY only?

Can a lottery Cash Value be more than the Annuity Certain?Reply
I don't think the lottery would ever advertise the jackpot that way. If it came down to where the annuity would be less than the cash value, I think they would just forgo the annuity amount and make it a cash only jackpot.
