$344 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot skyrocketsReply
I would probably consider annuity if it was $1 billion or more, just because I don't have one foot in the grave yet Otherwise cash for the following reasons: 1) Regarding taxation, lump sum penalizes about half a percent versus annuity but that is under current rates only.

You will get a larger cash payout because it takes more cash to fund the annuity and the prize you receive is the equivalent of what it costs them to purchase the annuity. When interest rates are high but falling or expected to fall, it is better to take the annuity because the cash payout will be lower.
