Mega Millions lottery jackpot increased to $256 millionReply
Is it a record if you claim the cash? Not in Powerball! Since the 8 meatpackers chose cash, is there still a record to be met? Since the works who won the $310M chose cash, is there still a record? Or is it all hyper for nothing?

USA Mega debuts Powerball lottery annuity calculatorReply
Whats all this record stuff mean anyway. Lotsa money is lotsa money. Thirty Million, fifty million, sixty million, who cares! Every one on the LP would be better off forgetting this record business and cheering for the 20-30 million dollar win.

Powerball lottery madness spreads to big mediaReply
I agree, Todd.However, it sort of keeps Euro Millions, UK, Canada and other lotteries where no annuity's offered out of the running for 'record jackpots'. If they're unwilling to use that method to make the jackpot awards appear larger than the dollars, Yen, whatever, they're giving away, then they'll never stand a ghost of a chance of awarding a 'record' jackpot.But that probably isn't a motivating factor to them, being foreigners. They'd probably agree with you and could care less whether i

You can disagree, but I just quote facts. When the record books are written, they are written with the annuity jackpot figures.For some reason, there seems to be a few people who are so emotionally tied to a cash value number that all objectivity goes out the window.Frankly, I could care less about whether it's a record or not, but when I put on my reporter's hat I quote the facts, and the fact is that the cash value does not determine the record, whether you personally agree with that statemen
