North Carolina 18-year-old wins $1 million in lottery after asking sister to buy ticket for himReply
I think younger folks should take the annuity, even though you don't mention 20 years of tax liability. It is not always the best option. Decades ago I'd say Cash option when we had to do that @ time of purchase. Not the case @ my age. No way would I take an annuity.

Such a nice looking family. I think they included grandma also. I think anyone below 30 should take the annuity.

Finally. A lottery winner who takes the annuity, which is the best option. Way too many people take the lump sum, only to lose everything years later. I am glad that the winner decided to get paid over a 20 year period.

Congratulations to this young man in his win. People are always advised against taking the annuity, but it ensures he'll have an annual income for the next 19 years and won't blow it all right away. This also keeps the roaches from coming out of the woodwork.

I love everything about this story. To me, this is the best of the lottery. Seems like a good kid with a good family, who all accompanied him to claim the prize. Love the family photo. No squabbling about who won the prize. Great choice on the annuity. Good choice on the Audi too!

For some odd reason I like seeing younger lotto winners. He chose the annuity of $50,000 over the next 19 years Good choice choosing the annuity, no hurry, he'll have money coming in, no need to have it all at once right now. Congrats to him!

$1.3 billion Mega Millions lottery winner's family sues him for not sharing jackpotReply
Moral of the story: Tell no one that you've won the Lottery. Create a Trust. Do the annuity. Place the winnings into blue chip stocks and hold them for 30 years. Too bad no one sees it this way....
