cash percentages for PB and MM?Reply
Also, Powerball adjusts its annuity jackpot for inflation, so that requires even less cash to pay a given annuity. Mega Millions does not adjust its annuity for inflation.

He would have been better off with an Annuity instead of a Lump Sum.

Check the Annuity Box and you won't have to worry about it.

Smart enough to take the annuity!!? That's funny Jackpot winners who are careless don't stand any better of a chance with an annuity than they would with the lump sum payout. They'll probably end up borrowing against future annuity payments in place of blowing their whole lump sum. Cash option value is always the better choice.

is a $500 million jackpot possible?Reply
Cash now is always better than cash later down the road. No Annuity of any kind is good for anyone, no matter how it's sliced! A dollar today has always been viewed more valuable than the dollar a year from now! If the dollar today is worth (lets say) 78 cents and a year from now it goes down to 75 cents you just lost your butt on your annuity. That's the main reason for never taking any annuity of any kind! The second reason for not taking an annuity, is you pay more in taxes over the years tha

Unless a person's going to take the annuity the size of the advertised jackpot is meaningless. 7 million is 7 million,whether they call it half a billion or 20 million. Spreading the annuity out wouldn't change the payouts for lump takers.If you're open to taking the annuity, imagine how much nicer it would be to win half a billion (worth 7 million) as opposed to, say, $20 million (worth 7 million). This is my roundabout way of telling you I don't see your point.Jack

Cash Value or annuity?
what would you choose? Cash value would be good because you'll be able to to whatever you want right away.. however you could get into bad investments and pretty much lose a lot....i figured annuity would be better because year after year you would have a lot of money coming in even if its a small jackpot you would still be living however you want...
