Hello everyoneReply
I think alot depends on your age. I am 54 years old. I would take the cash....spend a bit and invest the rest. If I invested properly, I bet I could be near the annuity amount in 26 years. If I were 21, I would take the annuity. But since I am getting up there in age, heck I might not live but a few years. Actually, I just got out of the hospital a couple weeks ago with a life threatening situation. My second in 4 years. So I would take the cash, invest the rest and see a tax attorney to see how

annuity payouts?
If and when, I win the jackpot prize, how does the money allotment per year get figured out? Now, before you call me stupid, I'm from New York. The Lotto agency here bases the annual payouts on the winner getting $250000.00/yr on every $10 million dollars in the jackpot at the time of the drawing. So, if the jackpot in the New York lotto was $40 million, you would get $1 million the first year. They also said each year after that, the payout would increase $10,000/yr/$10 million. I'm not even ta

Ohio Lotto
Dear Charlie: The Ohio Lotto used to, if not still does, pay those who chose lump sum less than the actual cash value of the annuity then in force for that drawing. In other words, an Ohio Lotto annuity jackpot might be $12 million, with a cash value of $6m, but, someone choosing lump sum might have received only $5 million before witholding. Hope I didn't confuse anyone. I wish Ohio would drop its Kicker, which is actually a seperate game than Lotto. Why must someone play Lotto to be eligib

Too many players winning Powerball, lottery saysNews Story
The agency running the Powerball lottery might decrease the odds of winning the multimillion-dollar jackpot to stem a record-setting run of winners that is keeping jackpots small and, the agency says, causing ticket sales to plunge. To some extent, you try to ride it out. But I think we'll need to make some changes to the game pretty soon, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Urbandale, Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs the game. We'll lose more than $400 milli

Powerball jackpot hits $1 billion after building for monthsReply
Is $50 to much to spend or u go by ur heart? It's not too much if you save the money from all the drawings offering less than $1 billion and spend it on the first drawing for $1 billion or more. What happens if it rolls, though? PB only reached $1 billion once this year up until now. The first time there were 4 drawings for $1 billion or more. So far this run has been slower to get the big increases, and based on the most recent worksheet there's a 56% chance it will roll 3 more times*, so

$1.3 BILLION: Powerball jackpot soars to 5th-largest in game historyReply
what Ai is saying is they can't stop it from Climbing but they can Slow it down so second chance win more makes sense. My intelligence isn't artificial, so I've got a somewhat different take, partly because I don't have as many hallucinations. Back when the annuity record was about $300 million PB introduced a cap that would limit jackpot increases to $25 million, with any excess augmenting the second place prize, until a new record was set. I don't remember how long it lasted, but it wasn'
