So any how WOW I dont know WHAT I would do in that case!! They KILL in taxes there eh! I have always said that I would take lump sum but damn to see that deduction... I would really have to think about taking payments. ( dear lord did I just say that ) OK hopes that when I win they just give me the check and I dont look at the diffence.
