Assuming taxes get 35% of the lump sum and 5% of what's left goes to spending and enjoying your money, then you start off down 40%. So you have to make that 40% back just be get back to where the state starts off investing the annuity. The state takes the same lump sum and invests it without having to pay the 35% taxes the winner does, which is why it seems to me th
