Speculation begins about NJ winner of Mega Millions lotteryReply
wande43. Went to NJ lottery website FAQ. It says in brief that the tickets default to Annuity if no choice is made. You can change it to lump sum when you claim it even if it had defaulted to Annuity. You CANNOT change from lump sum which you decided @ time of purchase to Annuity.

Is the annuity really worth if anyone does hit?Reply
I've thought of about a dozen probable scenarios and haven't been able to think of a single one where the risk of taking an annuity is worth it. Every excuse that I've been told for why one COULD take the annuity comes with a big fat BUT attached to it. So then I went to the improbable scenarios page and the only way I'd ever even consider taking an annuity is if both MM and PB had massive jackpots up for grab at the same time, and I won both of them. If that were to happen, then I MAY take one

Cuban's advice is spot on. His message is for the regular Joe and Jane who wouldn't recognize a T-bone about investing and managing their money. If you are a smart investor doing it for years successfully, then the lump sum is for you. If you are like most lottery winners who haven't ever seen $5ooK together (you get the point) in their lives, then you should choose the annuity, whether you are 18 or 99 years old. Reality is nobody needs more than the first annuity payment to live and do their t

$650 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot skyrocketsReply
The $535 million annuity estimate verses actual $541.9 million didn't leave much margin for error; nearly came up short. PB sales seemed slow at the various retailers I regularly play at. For once it's nice to see a California Match-5 winner receive a full $1 million and then some. Talk about being lucky. Another thing to consider is the annuity value verses actual cash value: Powerball: $983.5 million cash, Jan. 13, 2016 ($1.5864 billion annuity) - California, Florida, Tennessee ... 1.61

$435 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot on track to 17-month highReply
That's an illogical reason to choose an annuity. It's usually what people say when they don't know any better. The risks in taking the annuity aren't better because one is young. The tax implications and backweightedness of the annuity don't change, the only thing that changes is that the younger person will probably be alive to deal with the headaches. If a person cannot properly budget themselves so that they don't lose over $100 million dollars then taking it in the form of an annuity won't m
