Tennessee lottery winner sues stateReply
I sure hope TN isn't looking to join the coming numbers game Lose for Life. ALL winners (numbers or scratch; fixed annuity or lifetime) SHOULD have the option of collecting in lump sum.

Tennessee lottery winner sues stateReply
I dislike annuity only winnings, but the rules were posted when she bought the ticket - if you don't accept the rules buy Powerball. I dislike 3rd party payouts even more - why give part of your winnings to shady companies when the state can and should write you a check? I especially dislike sore winners for whom even an extra $52,000 a year isn't enough - how would she have bought a house like that if she didn't win? Count your blessings, lady, think of the caretakers of the disabled who don'

Daily News "Lottery Gold" NumbersReply
I wouldn't bother playing. Most winners get a NY Cheapo 6/59 subscription, and most of the value of the scratch tickets is for annuity-only (no cash option) games.

How do you take itReply
Given a jackpot where the after tax prize is less than $20,000,000 I would not hesitate to take the cash because it can all be fdic insired in a CDARS account. Given my inexperience at managing anything greater than about 38,000 a year, however... these big jackpots make me wonder about the annuity. I would most certainly seek the advise of a financial planner before deciding. I don't know about the high finance, but I see it like this... using PB estimates for this coming saturday scen

Probability of a MegaMillions rollover.Reply
Qualatively, without too much analysis, sales for MM seemed relatively unaffected by the large CA jackpot. CA often exceeds NY sales, but NY seems to have contributed the most to MM sales in general. There doesn't seem to have been much of a change, which is somewhat surprising. According to my records there have been more than one winner only twice in the since switching from the Big Game to Megamillions. On 11/11/03 there were 3 winners of a $70M annuity jackpot and 2 winners of a

$250 Million PowerballReply
Powerball wants it to roll because that would be two annuity records in less than a years time. So they can be pretty happy about themselves and all I want is one of those record winning tickets.

Is the Lottery (PB/MM) corrupt?Reply
Mega Millions could still get a record level jackpot without California. I highly doubt it'll revert back to the 5/52+1/52 matrix even if it lost California. Remember Powerball broke its previous (annuity) jackpot record even without the added support of another big state after the MUSL changed its matrix.

mega millions or powerballReply
I've only played the Powerplay three or four times, and that is the only realy difference to me. The ratio between cash and annuity, or the odds mean nothing to me - the other hundred million people don't matter when I win, or when I loose; they are just numbers. I am going to win or not win. Mega gives me a higher dollar value when I win.

Mass. Lottery dispute takes bizarre turnReply
Mr Donovan's death is why it's so stupid that MA has all these annuity-only scratch games (and Megabucks.) Wonder if Louise Outing is still alive? AFAIK she turns 96 next month.
