For me the future is not assured, but if I win the jackpot, I may go with the annuity LOLs!

New Jersey lottery winner claims $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
I'm very happy for the winners and $280.4 million is life changing money after taxes but snip Uncle Sam just snip ed them and stuffed his pockets with about $848 million dollars from their colossal prize. Seems very unfair, but the best option is to take the annuity option when prize amount is half a billion or more if you're thinking about generational wealth for the long run.

Michigan needs new gamesReply
The cash amount is the amount invested to pay the annuity should the winner choose that payout, and taxes would be deducted from the cash amount if the winner chose to take the cash payout instead. Not a ripoff, just giving winners the choice in taking their money.

One California winner of $395 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot comes forwardReply
I ment to say played his Lottery slips again not the actual ticket. When you are a regular they give you a plastic pouch to Keep your play slips so you can easily replay it And then he decides to Cash one ticket first so he can test his arrangement and not be overwhelmed but later he be back to get the second half lol maybe one ticket Annuity the other ticket Lump sum or even better he can put the second ticket as a Group ticket for his family so his name won't be on it so don't be surprised if

UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
My thought is that the MSL doesn't even remotely want to be your financial planner, but without the annuity option, they can't fill the billboards up with zeros. What a scam- they know that 95 percent of the people will take the cash...and they're making plenty of it now with the high interest rates. In 2019, the cash values were running at 60-70%. It's 47% now. That's 130-230 million profit on a billion-dollar jackpot. Yeah, right...now is the time to jack the ticket price to $5.

$1.23 BILLION: Powerball jackpot juggernaut keeps rollingReply
The Saturday jackpot was raised to $1.3 billion , with a cash option of $608.9 million . I'm wondering if they managed a typo for the cash value. If the cash:annuity ratio stayed the same it would be $628.9 million cash. If it's really $6 0 8.9 that's a pretty big change in interest rates, and a fairly big coincidence that the difference is an even $20.0 million. The TX website hasn't posted the worksheet yet, but that should give us the answer if MUSL doesn't make a change first.
