You'd probably have a great time there, I did. Be wary of those eight-legged little buggers. National Geographic had a deal on one who bites through work boots and kills instantly.

I for one will be spending a great deal of my time (about 70%) in the Land Down Under (Australia)! I have always wanted to go there and see a friend of mine from Vegas. If I like it as much as he does, maybe I'll buy a couple of houses there near the coast! Who knows

Like everything you manage to motor-mouth about, there is always a flaw. Guess it has to do with your your knowledge of the world. Growing up in a shell, where your only experience is to google information, tends to do that to people.The difference, it will not be off shore for me. I plan on living off shore . There is nothing in America, that I can't see during a visit. I tend to compare the advantages of a traffic jam in Los Angeles, to a luxury villa in Palarmo, the crime rate in Trenton, t... [ More ]

Hey Guesswhat, please get it right, I'm the one who's going to be sending the money off-shore after the taxes has been paid!(Uncle Sams 25% off the top) Chewie was just saying something about it is all.

RISK FREE vehicle with a GUARANTEED return. Nothing is risk free! All I know is, when my day comes to winning the lottery and I take the lump sum payout, that money is going off shore! Well the bulk (85%) of it is anyway

Ahhhh, golly, gee whiz. Gotta be the most intelligent poster in the history of LP and have a rudimentary knowledge of sentence structure? Don't you have to attend one of those higher education places for that? Like grammar school? Looks like they left a child behind - intentionally.

The fortune 500 list isn't made up of people looking for the equvalent of a high end welfare check. Nothing is really risk free in life. Taxes also will go up. If you think they will go down than an annuity might be OK but with the baby boomers retiring that would be even less likely than a MM hit. Also if you die the annuity would be hit with a death tax if it's still around for it's cash value. Unless of course you had taken cash and placed it in international accounts. Also don't play games i... [ More ]

People who are offended by what others do with their lottery winnings deserve to be offended because they are just nosey people sticking their nose into someone else's business.

There is no universal and clear answer to question of Annuity or Cash. The answer is that it depends and varies from person to person and every one has right to say how and what he/she feels as long as it does not offend others. But the real answer is that both the answers are correct in their own way. Annuity is good for 1)The person just does not want to worry about management of money and he has various other activities which he/she thinks are better for him and does not want to spend time

Trust me, I know those pesky little Constitutional Ammendments should never have been written, but life is full of little hardships. I guess, until freedom of thought is abolished, you'll just have to accept dissent. Keep up the loving attitude. Above all, keep smiling, and things will get better.

Just curious why you think taking the annuity is better than the lump sum. Based on the annuity year by year payoff on the Powerball $340 million, you wouldn't match the total of the lump sum until about the 19th year. For an old man like me, I don't know I am going to live that long anyway and besides, screw my descendants
