$363 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot raised due to heavy salesReply
I am somewhat surprised the jackpot hasn't been raised again. Would have been nice to see the annuity exceed 380mil.

$356 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears recordReply
Nodding head vigorously in agreement. We were having this conversation earlier over dinner with some friends. And the dh of my friend looked over and seriously said that they would have to take the annuity because that way they would be guaranteed to have income. I just smiled and nodded. No sense arguing with someone who has made up their mind. Ok... they will take the annuity. Personally I would take the cash value (cv). De gustibus non est disputandum.

$356 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears recordReply
The annuity pays the winner roughly 1.5% annually based on the cash value. If you invest it yourself and just net 2% annually, you would gross over $428 million in 26 years. 3% annually would get you over $550 million. There are tax-free muni bonds that have paid more than that so it would be wise to take the lump sum cash. The care-free spender who take the annuity ($10 million per year after tax) would still get in trouble. Once their annual payment is exhausted, they would simply cash out

Just take the cash and run. Forget the annuity. Annuity = bad choice #1 for a jackpot winner.

If I take the annuity option can I avoid state tax if I move out of the country for the rest of the payments?

Is 50 Million Dollars Not Enough??Reply
Players that buy powerball tickets below $100 millions annuity contribute more to lottery sales.when you spend $2 on powerball above $100 millions annuity your risk is lower because the odds of winning are 1 in 175 millions. There is less combinations to be played above the $100 millions level to have a jackpot winner.
