I doubt it, but then I kind of know the truth. Players can choose between cash or annuity. The cash is all of the money that the lottery has (a percentage of sales).

DO you really lose money if u take the annunity over the lump sum?Reply
You can't get the very same annuity for two reasons One is that you won't have the very same amount of money for buying an annuity. What you can do is buy a similar annuity with the same terms, but for only 55 to 65% of the one the state offers. The second is that it won't come with the same guarantee as the one from the state.
