Ms DeFrancisco used to run my corrupt NY Lottery. She seems to be pro-annuity (eg Lose for Life) and anti-player.

Florida lottery winners indicted on tax chargeReply
It would seem that people who receive annuity payments, whether or not there was a cash option, are more likely to face problems than those who collected in lump sum.

Florida lottery winners indicted on tax chargeReply
It looks to me like they sold some of the annuities in different years. The annuity companies will buy X years of payments for cash. They probably sold off the last years of the annuity to get the cash and didn't claim all the income on their taxes. These stories make good press, but I don't think they represent the majority of the winners. Most go on to live quietly and enjoy the freedom the money gives them.

Jackpot PayoutsReply
In Powerball's case and I'm guessing Megamillions it's 60 days. That's when the winner must choose cash or annuity.

Man claims Powerball lottery prize just before it was due to expireReply
Most tickets should be claimed in 60 days or you will be forced to have an annuity you may not want in many states.

Powerball now behind on cashReply
With big jackpots these days you still have to worry about investing even after choosing annuity.

Powerball Sets A New RecordReply
It's just sad that even though Powerball's annuity is more bulked up than Mega Millions', it still can't beat Mega's roll records in terms of their advertised jackpots.

People should not pay attention to the annuity values, which are all marketing. Even if one intends to take the annuity for whatever reason, the measure of true value is the cash.

Probability of a Rollover in Powerball.Reply
Yeah, if you think in terms of odds of winning, Mega Millions and Powerball are approximately equal bets when their annuity jackpots are equal.
