Cindy Wilson had the only winning ticket for the Oct. 7 drawing, lottery officials said Monday. Wilson, a Neptune Township resident who works as an engineer, was attending a business meeting in Tampa, Fla., when she checked her ticket against the winning numbers printed in a newspaper. Needless to say, they finished the meeting without me, Wilson said in a prepared statement issued Monday by the New Jersey Lottery. Wilson chose to receive annual payments of $461,000, and she got her first check -- for more than $350,000, after federal taxes were taken out -- on Monday. If she had chosen to receive a lump-sum payment, she would have been paid more than $5.2 million after taxes. Wilson purchased her winning ticket at Ricks Wine & Liquor in Neptune on the day of the drawing. The stores owner, Virendra Patel of Farmingdale, will receive $10,000 as the vendor of the winning ticket. AP We'd love to see your comments here!

How could she choose annual payments with NJ lottery winnings free of state tax for NJ residents? What's her age? AFAIK she's the first Mega Millions "loser"-refusing to take the cash. | | |

I think you're taking this a bit too far. I would much rather take the annuity than pick your nose. | | |

please allow me to provide the necessary visual deterrent ;  even I would "pick" annuity after seeing that
"you can pick your nose. your friend can pick his nose. but you can't pick your FRIENDS nose". "your nose is so big that if your nose was full of nickles, you would be rich" "who 'nose' when my quick 'pick' will finally come in"? ..................(VISIONDUDE) icansmellwhensomeonehasvision

Visiondude: GREAT visuals... They say it all. Chief May the warm winds of heaven blow softly upon your house. May the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows. And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder. | | |

That's NOT TRUE a REAL LOTTERY PLAYER is a PLAYER that WINS MONEY or selects his OWN NUMBERS.How he ACCEPTS his MONEY has nothing to do with it as long as he GETS HIS MONEY be it CASH or ANNUITY. | | |

Pick-4: The lottery "winner" in question is not a "his" or a "he". | | |
