Is the Annuity payout safe?Reply
Unlike Publisher's Clearinghouse, when you win a large amount of money and take the annuity, the lottery really does have all the money needed to fund the annuity right now. They buy the annuity for you and then you collect from whoever sold the annuity to the state (probably government bonds). You are not depending on the state to raise the money needed to pay you every year.

EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
The DC government is well known for being very incompetent across the board and that is one of the reasons it cannot get statehood. A one traffic light town is more competent. A guy in my office was on DC unemployment comp for a month or two before he worked for my employer and got a threatening letter stating that he owed them $40 k. Lol. He tried a million ways to tell them that he received a few thousand in benefits but every rep there did not care. He had to bring in an attorney to meet

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
US citizens paying tax on winnings in UK aren't paying UK tax. They are paying USA tax. (Us citizens don't have to pay the UK government anything for the privilege of winning money in the UK lotteries.) Complain to your congress critters if you aren't happy about that. Tariffs alone will not fund the USA. I mean.. They were looking at Trump's tariffs plus existing tariffs bringing in something like $200 billion... That is a little way short of just the Defence budget, let alone the inter

Is the Annuity payout safe?Reply
For the most part I think the annuity is a safe option. More so with the Multi State Games. The safety of the annuity may be argued in terms of the payout duration. Are we certain of living for the next 29 years to collect all the payments? No one knows for certain. Will the tax environment change so much and affect the future payments negatively? Who knows. Is there a possibility of any country ending up like Ukraine? If yes, would I want the government to be holding my money or
