Yes, the annuity system is their smoke-screen to advertise a higher jackpot. Shame on them.At least we do have the cash option

The only reason I have not called for an outright boycott of NY Lotto is the cash option (and I disagree with having to choose when you play.) I would support a boycott if others agreed to it.
