There are companies who provide lifetime annuities. My plan was to use a commercial service to provide the annuity.

Jimmy: I don't understand why tyou could up the monthly payments for an older person because you don't know when they're going to die. For all we know there could be an 80 year old who wins and lives to be 110, but since you would up the monthly payment amount, they'd be getting more.

I will never play Lucky for Life unless there is a cash option. If I had won, I would take 28+ year option. It's fair if I live more than 28 years after I win Lucky for Life.

I will never have to worry about the exact wording, because I will NEVER play it without a cash option

You have to understand that 28 years is the MINIMUM amount of time the payments will be made. If you live beyond that, they will continue. But if you die before the 28 years is up, the payments will continue to your estate until the 28-year period is up. Whew. I can see why lump-sum payments are so good. They're easier on your mind

Here is an exact quote from the PA website:*NOTE: The set prize amounts published here are based on the expected number of winners sharing in the prize pool. In some cases, these prizes can be paid on a pari-mutuel basis and will be lower than these published prize levels. Refer to the Official Game Rules for a detailed explanation of optional pari-mutuel payment . If more than five winning first prize (jackpot) plays are determined in the same drawing, each is entitled to a share of annual

The lifetime prize is guaranteed for 28 years, although you might not live that long.

Usually the 20 year timeline is a minimum - incase you drop from the excitement.

Or PA is a very dangerous place to live and that's your life expectancy after they reveal your name and address.

You mean me? I meant for life, for real. And so does PA. I don't know where you got that information. It's either wrong or outdated.

sometimes the name of a scratch off doesn't quite exactly mean the same thing as it implies.you might have to go to the state lottery website and read the fine print....

Maybe you should e-mail the Lottery and pester them about adding one. You know, like you pester us. j/k (Or Am I).

Why couldn't the real PA game offer a cash option

Same game, but better than ever. It's now only a $1, you can still win $10 cash on the spot, and it gets better. There is now a growing jackpot, which starts at $3,000 a month for life or $750,000 cash. That's right, if you're the impatient type, you can take a lump sum instead. In any case, you won't just be lucky, you'll be Lucky For Life. Match 6 - Minimum $3,000/month for life or $750,000 lump sum (please don't comment CASH, we know what you're going to say). Match 5 - $1,000 Match... [ More ]
