Winning Powerball lottery ticket worth $310 million sold in MichiganReply
On my tic it was just under 62% of the annuity amount. When it's app 192 million, what's a million here or there. LOL.

$301 MILLION: Huge Powerball jackpot on tap for this weekReply
The $100 million you are yawning about is actually the true take home amount that a single winner in a state like NY or NJ would net. A $301 million jackpot is nothing more than a fictitious mirage and the true lump sum cash value is actually about one third of an advertised jackpot annuity.

Its official, powerball matrix change coming this octoberReply
That is ok, let the odds climb, they still do not get my $2 until the annuity hits the $100 million mark and perhaps that personal figure will change to $150 million.......

Wa State -- Lottery sales have been stopped July 01Reply
So what happens if you won the Powerball jackpot last year and went with the annuity? If the government hadn't reached a deal and the lottery was put on hold and lets say you were suppose to receive your next annual check on July 2nd....

Defiant scratch game purchase yields $1 million prizeReply
problem is that no where on the ticket or the website does it say annuity. That is why I never buy anything over $5.....I want what they say the top prize is...whats next...win $5 and they will pay you 50 cents for the next 10 years ..LOL !!!

Beginning Jackpots...Reply
Not unless the person who wins the money invest it into the right stocks that could rise by 35%. This way, the gains from those investments could be used to pay the remaining 14.5% they owe. If one wants to invest the winnings, it's better to take the annuity because within a decade of winning, the value of the investments should exceed the initial winning amount won.

Something strange with Megabucks Doubler GameReply
I would think that with these 2 or 3 million dollar jackpots that taking the annuity would make much more sense from a taxing perspective. With a lump sum payout of 1.5- 2 million you would be taxed at the highest rate and also get hit with the Obamacare tax. Breaking it up over 20 years with annual payouts of $125,000 or so would be a much more tax friendly way to take the JP. I would think anyways.

Saw this picture and thought...Reply
Thanks for the reply. Actually forgot that minor detail that someone could take the annuity. That is not a choice I would make for my personal situation however.

Two mega lottery jackpots up for grabs this weekReply
Been playing both games since they hit the $100 Million Annuity mark...won a few $$ back, lost a few... I've come to the conclusion it's to stop dilly-dallying around and win one of these tidy sums. Tonight or tomorrow ?? Either would work. Collection plan is in place, Atty's number is in the favorites, CFP and CPA's are set....Now, if only those numbers drawn will see the light of day to match one set numbers on my tickets.
