Does the increase in the return on bonds increase the payout on annuity'sReply
First, as long as PB has a minimum jackpot the lump sum is never going to be extremely tiny except in the very unlikely event of being split several ways. Even if sales drop to a small fraction of what they are now the cash value of the minimum jackpot will still be the amount necessary to fund the annuity. If the cash value was only 40% of the annuity value the lump sum would still be $16 million, and the after tax net would be $8 million or more. Today a really safe investment may only produce

The annuity value is always based on investing the cash sum, so it always reflects the interest rates that are earned by investing the cash. If you've been paying attention lately you should see that the cash value is a significantly smaller percentage of the annuity now than it was a few months back. The most recent PB jackpot had a cash payout of $254.6 million, which is just 60.5% of the $420.9 million annuity value, whereas the $165.6 million cash value of the previous PB jackpot ( 9/17/1

Annuity vs Cash ValueReply
I don't care what the person's age or circumstance is, opting for a 30 year backweighted annuity considering America's taxation history and a global financial system which becomes more interconnected and more turbulent by the week, is insanity. Anyone winning the CV tonight will end up with a minimum of $100 million. If someone actually thinks that they'd rather have the annuity so in case they make a bad investment they don't lose the $100 million all at once, isn't someone with the financi
