If you really were brave/crazy enough to choose the annunity...Reply
if you invested say half the annuity money ea year. lonlg before your 30 years are up you will be earning as much from the investments than getting frm the annuity. by the end you would have 190 mill in investments most probably. why invest you may well ask? well its good practice, and as i see it, learning to live off of only $2 mill a year would be fun.

When making a claim of this size, either by annuity or full payout, an assignment of an heir or Secondary is advised by the lottery. So yes , there is a rule that allows such a condition to exist in the event of death. I'm not brave enough to allow annuity, based on the interest rate, the best interest is in my safe :)

if you won over $70 mil- would you settle for the lump sum or annual installmentsReply
I do think an annuity is right for ALL meth heads. In fact, it should be required.

Lump sum. No question. A few years ago, though, I would be iffy. Now though I think about effects of taxes rising as well as having to be linked to the lottery comission for years and years. I'd rather take the money and run. And remember mistakes can still be made with the annuity. Plenty of lottery winners have hit the bottom of the barrel by going with the annuity and then selling it to a company for a smaller amount. I also wouldn't be surprised if some annuity winners get
