Congrats Mr Shafii. Enjoy your newly acquired wealth for many years to come.

Wise choice for Abbas to take the cash option.

If he went with the annuity, he would be 110 years on the last payment, mmh.

If I win any of the jackpots in the next five years I would take the annuity .

Wish me luck people

I will let you know I won
