CA no longer requires the cash/annuity choice when you play. I still chose cash in October in Santa Paula (Ventura Co) just to be safe.

Thanks CASH Only for answering my question of CA SLP having graduated payments. However, when I buy CA SLP tickets, I don't know exactly if they take the cash option or 26 Payments. If I don't mark any ticket in CA SLP and then win a jackpot, it would be 26 graduated payments.

I think CA SLP should increase the number of WBs from 47 to 49, but keep MBs at 27. Do you think CA SLP will change the odds of winning the jackpot will decrease? If so, what changes should they make

The ANNUITY option is the wrong choice.

To clarify the thread, SLP is 26 _graduated_ payments; MM is 26 equal installments.

Now how do we know that taking rhe cash option is the wrong choice? To each their own.

Only a few games pay out that way, for the oddballs that make the wrong choice.

They're graduated so you gain more money in the future. I think states are doing that to help winners get adjusted to being rich.

When CA joined Mega Millions, are you sure that CA SLP tickets are in equal 26 payments where it is divided evenly or graduated 26 Payments where you gain more money in the future
