My thoughts exactly. I love tinkering around in the stock market and Biotechs are hot, though many don't even have an IPO where you could make a killing. Think Regeneron, Apple Google for instance. So that's why I say cash-option and turn that baby into a serious cash cow.

You could invest the lump sum and, if you're good at choosing investments, make even more money. Financial advisers always advise lottery winners to take the lump sum. They can't all be wrong.

The money could be invested in common blue chip stocks over a 20 year period. By the time the last check comes in that $3.5 Million(after taxes) would grow to over $50 Million. Most folks don't look at it that way.

Well, at least the dropbox is on the lottery's security cameras. Though I would want someone taking my own unbrokenup video of the lottery ticket (front and back signature), the claim form, me putting them in the envelope, and me dropping it in the Dropbox.

I was able to go to the drop box at the Sacramento District office in Natomas.

He used their drop box!

A ginormous check coming to you in mail felt odd to me, Murray admitted.

Thank goodness it made it to him.

To each their own but I disagree. For one, it isn't 'that much money' per se, though I'd love to have it. #2 Why have an annual tax liability for 20-30 years

First off, congrats to the winner. 30 years of diligence finally pays off!

He has already spent some of it on home improvements, and his wife bought herself a brand-new Tesla Model X car.
