It does seem odd as they're both 30 yr annuities. I guess IN does a much better job investing your money for you should you take the annuity option.

It was an impulse buy for me to purchase one dollar of Lotto and one dollar of Powerball.

Another great proof that you only to spend a dollar to win. Don't burn a hole in your pockets chasing lotto jackpots and you shall hit sooner or later.

That is wonderful new for the Smith Family. My husband is a hoosier and says Indiana odd are great.

Nice going Pam

Pamela and Jay Smith won $2.5 million in the May 9 drawing....as a lump-sum payment, which amounted to $980,296 before taxes.

That's a cash value of less than half the jackpot amount. I thought Ohio Classic Lotto cash value at 50% of the jackpot amount before taxes was one of the lowest, I stand corrected.
