Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!  I like their style.  Its exactly the way I would go about claiming a jackpot!  Forget the hoopla and press conference stuff, that only ignites all the crazies who want a piece of your money! 

They now have a clean start to do their thing or his or her thing!  Good for them!

Good for him/her/them. I think they are doing a smart thing by claiming there jackpot anonymously. This way, they avoid all the media attention and a bunch of beggers.

bellyache..................Psykomo...................

THINKsssssssssssss  having media attention and a bunch o beggers.....

is what "LIFE's ALL ABOUT"......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we need a "poll" on  that,..........hint, hint..........LM-LM-vote____ ??

LOL

PSYKOMO 

I'm sorry for laughing, but that was funny fja!

How about read one post?
 
I think I agree with tg636, I would look into the annuity.  I always hear the argument that you only need to make 10% a year in investments to make more money than the annuity.  If I could consistently do that, I wouldn’t be playing the lottery.

And I would spend it.  There would be even less of a principal to make that money back on.   That first payment is gone.  Maybe I wait a year and spend the good part of 2 payments on my dream property, but I will spend it.  If the economy crashes I can count on a check that way too.

They changed the structure from 20 years to 26 years in Washington’s lotto and that made me think about the cash, but nothing has me totally convinced yet.

Way to go !! 

Let the furor die down, swoop in and collect anonymously, then go on about your business.

That makes a bigger statement than a phony check / press conference ever will.....

How about we just let them read all your post?

From a previous article on here - this is why I think you have to claim your prize anonymously, even amounts far less than $265 million.  You have to ask what good being famous or notorious does you.

As far as the annuity goes, I am still waiting for real-life evidence that someone taking the cash made an amount equal to or more than the annuity by the time the last annuity check was cashed.  All I need is the evidence and I will believe. Articles should be easy to come by if annuities are as lousy as people say.
