What would you do with the ticket itself?Reply
Safety deposit box seems the smartest. I just can't imagine walking around with the thing. I'd probably want to turn it in right away because you have time to decide if you want cash or annuity. I'd then start looking for a good financial planner or advisor. Geez, which one is better?

MM sets a new recordReply
Quote: Originally posted by Todd on April 03, 2004I think we can say that Mega Millions is the dominant lottery at this point, right?I agree Todd. If you dont look at the annuity rolls and just look at the cash rollovers, MM is always doing better, meaning it is attracting more players and hence more money.

New Web site calls on lottery directors to add MegaplierReply
time2win: Lottery players should always opt for more choices rather than fewer. Who knows? You may change your mind in the future and decide that want to try to multiply your prizes. If you don't fight for your options now, you'll never get the choice in the future.It's kind of like Cash Only's quest for all lotteries to allow a cash option for all games. You may personally choose the annuity, but doesn't it make sense for everyone to have the choice?Sign the petition!
