Who says he has to buy stocks? He said he was going to start a business empire, so he's probably going to start businesses, rather than just investing in stocks and bonds.

The right decision is to take the lump sum, no matter how much the prize.

I dunno, CO. I'd have to think about it, probably take the annuity, just to have on record that I did. Any time that many people care as much as the people here do about whether someone takes the lump or the annuity, I'd say there's almost a moral obligation to run against the current. Even though I'm reasonably sure I wouldn't come within 15 years of living long enough to draw all of it.
I just hate people getting into my business enough to be saying what I ought to do.

If I won more than $100 million it would be annuity for me. Anything less cash. (Bring on your knives and pitchforks I said I would take annuity.) How are you going to win if you don't play? Good luck lotto players.... Tnplaya.

Bravo! Whether it's true or not, it's music to my eyeballs seeing the words.

I grew up with Brad, you wil see alot of him in the future,he's not only wanting to invest the money,but his appearances on the tv shows aren't because the lottry wants him to it is because it is his resume.Every appearance he is applying for a job.Here come the endorsement money.Maybe movies,sports analogy he will have a career that makes him famous.He deserves it,he is a greta guy and his family is great.

Appears you might be eating and drinking at the "I knew him when" bar and grill for a while.
