$185 MILLION: Huge Powerball lottery jackpot set for WednesdayReply
Why not take the cash and buy your own annuity?? Annuities are not the greatest of investment vehicles but at least it would be yours and not the states.

N.J. Assembly panel clears one-year anonymity for lottery winnersReply
LOL. The great thing with the annuity is the principle can come back or be passed to anyone of choice. Dont worry, I would have just handed YOU the cash.

UK couple wins massive EuroMillions lottery jackpotReply
Are you serious? so that means this couple won an amount of half a billion of US lottery equivalent, if you add up taxes and annuity. It actually means that it tops any single winner of advertized amount in US.

Rollover Probabilities for Powerball's current jackpot.Reply
This is certainly possible. If they sold the 169M tickets I spoke of above, the new jackpot would be approximately $225M cash/338M annuity. I would expect it to end up somewhere in that neighborhood, but even so the most probable outcome would still be a rollover.

$305 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot in rare territoryReply
IF it rolls, it will be $422m. -- based upon 30% roll increase in cash value from last night and the current 62.4% cv of the annuity. Cash value will be $263.8m. Ain't gonna happen. I've got the winning number on my filled out slip. Sorry y'all. Better luck next time.

Mega Millions questionReply
Some states put the PB and/or MM jackpots on every online game ticket. I have a Cash Ball and a Pick-4 ticket from 7/3/12 showing the MM jackpot at $86 million. Since the jackpot was won, the next days tickets showed the MM jackpot at $12 million. Krey zee probably saw the annuity jackpot on a ticket printed before the 4th and saw the $9.1 million cash value the next day.

$2 PB Jackpots Now Rising More Slowly Than $1 PB Jackpots Did.Reply
Well, given the jackpot amount, I went ahead and plucked up $2 for a QP. At the old $1 price and at this level jackpot, I would have spent $10 for 10 lines. Now, I simply refuse to play more than $2 until it reaches $250M. I am now simply focused on winning Hoosier Lotto. The jackpot is $5,500,000 and if I won it tonight, I'd take the annuity. That's 30 payments of $183,333.33 before taxes.

Same here. NJ lotto right now, seen from the expectation value point, at over 18M annuity and over 13M cash, is the best game in town here.
