with inflation the annuity may lose a lot of it's value.taking all cash should allow your invested cash to keep pace with inflation.

The annuity invests the cash pre-tax. You would be hard pressed making up the difference if you took the lump sum.

WA ending online Unlucky for LifeReply
Ironic that OR is continuing its Lose for Life (without a cash option)-OR Megabucks was the first US lottery game to give players a choice of lump sum or annuity.

Notice that the cash option was for half the annuity, instead of according to interest rates.

after reading all these observations it seems to me that lump sum is the wiser choice unless you really having spending problems then you might want to choose annuity.....

$30 ScratcherReply
I buy $10 tickets maybe once a week. I usually win on them. (Most I've won is $40). If we had $20 tickets I would play if the odds were good and if the top prize was good. For TN we have enough players they could go to $2 million annuity or $1 million in a $20 ticket. They could go $500,000 on a $10 ticket.Note: There is a $5 ticket here with a min top prize of $1 million. It's annuity though. Win for Life. You get $52,000 a year for the rest of your life.

Texas Lottery considers changing jackpot calculationReply
rj:Because OH pays out exactly half in cash, unlike Powerball, which pays according to interest rates, and has the same 30-payment annuity.
