Woman given lottery ticket for graduation gift wins $2,000 a month for lifeReply
in this case since she is so young Even if you're 50 the after-tax net on 400k probably isn't what you need to retire right away and that means you should probably invest (most of) the money towards retirement. Especially since you can invest some, or even all, of the money in a tax deferred retirement account that makes the 2k per month a much better deal compared to the difference between annuity and cash value of a real jackpot.

Winning ticket for $522 million Mega Millions jackpot sold in CaliforniaReply
The article has been updated to reflect the final annuity ($543 million) and cash value ($320.5 million) after all proceeds were counted Wednesday. The revised amounts up the rankings of this jackpot to the 3rd-largest Mega Millions jackpot of all time, and the 9th-largest US lottery jackpot ever. The cash value remains the 12th-largest in US history (and the 5th-largest Mega Millions cash value).

Mega Millions Tuesday 7/17/2018Reply
I'll survive on $60,000,000.00 after taxes. I think that most of us have done the math and learned that $50,000.00/year X 20 years = $1,000,000.00 That is a good income. Your niece and nephews could cash out their trusts early by using those companies who do that sort of thing. Similar to cashing out of an Annuity. Of course, that would be a bad deal for all concerned except for the company.

Aunt threatens to sue nephew over lottery jackpotReply
It's unique because no one with common sense has or will ever make such a mistake. Even occasional players who don't know the difference between annuity value and cash value understand enough of the basics to avoid this pitfall. People sign tickets as proof of ownership. It was her ink and hand that signed her nephew into 50% of the winnings. If she wanted to assign him less then she never should have signed his name on it or add the percentages in parenthesis next to each name. Many people won
