powerball 16 th draw 180 millionReply
It's not poor management, it's just fate. When Powerball paid annuities in 30 year installments, players complained that inflation would hurt winners if they went that route - therefore, they adjusted the annuity for inflation, which is why CVO is now a lesser percentage. That is bulls**t though, since nobody really takes the annuity. Under the old matrix, there were too many winners, and even the pathetic Powerball sales now are better than they were when the jackpot was hit every other we

SLP is paid in 30 annual installments. Are you saying $1 million is too low for a 30-payment annuity?

Colorado Lottery numbersReply
Colorado pays cash-option winners exactly half of the annuity. It had been 40% for years.

3rd Largest Jackpot In America Belongs ToReply
The NJ6 tends to be hit long before the big numbers comes along. Prior to this run, it was hit after one draw twice in a row. Prior to that it hit after six draws. The annuity has been $2M, $1.6M, $5,5M, $11M, $7.5M, $8M. etc. Not that those are bad annuity numbers (I would take them in a heart beat), but nothing in the $38M range. The multiple winners for the last year has been 2 in 12; which will reduce that take home. The big advantage is that there is no tax hit, what so ever, in NJ; so whe

Powerball lottery jackpot climbs to $167 millionReply
I expected a bigger jump. If a single winner makes the wrong choice, they will win the largest annuity in US lottery history.

new powerball scheduled payout infoReply
A lot of the joy of winning the lottery comes in the surprise. A person who accepts the annuity will get the double dose of that commodity when it comes time for the first payment toward his $30M.Probably nobody much is going to take annuities, and probably PB knows it's so. But it looks SO good on a billboard, that $30M smoke and mirrors trick. So much better than, say, plus/minus $15M before taxes.If this plays you MM players ought to be able to look forward to the same song, different stan
