I am starting to think that I should be playing scratch offs rather than draw games.

Good point, kao. The way inflation has taken off over the past year, who knows where it's going to stop? 200k might be chump change in another three years.

Or, maybe, she will invest it wisely.. Buy a home. Invest in some indexed fund.. pay off any debts...

You have to wonder.. Just how much will $200,000 pa be worth in 25 years... How much were you earning 25 years ago

She is almost in her 30s. so that's now 18 to early 20s is real young in my own opinion on this. Still a young person. But being only 8 years over her? I would of done the same, so smart she is.

I am so happy Rasheda was astute prudent to take it all, very VERY smart, 1 of the most happiest lottery stories i've heard, very smart.

CONGRATS,RASHEDA

I would be willing to give her some free investment advice.

Unfortunately Florida's a long way from Tennessee and my truck is in the shop right now.

So I'll need her to provide me with a Maserati so I can get down there.

And incidentals like travel expenses, hotels etc..

Is there a Four Seasons Hotel in Gainesville

Was it a wise move. She is too young to take the lump sum. Someone will bilk her out of some of it.

Her yearly payout would have been $200,000 a year for the next 25 years. Choosing the 3.8 million dollar lump sum was a wise move. I wish her the best. And since she is young I hope she chooses her friends carefully.

Not too late for her to change her career field. Healthcare with this pandemic is awful...glad I retired four years ago. My friends that left working with kids like me are miserable working with adults...way too many deaths.

To each their own though.
