Rcb, you haven't won that thing yet ? Get with the program !!!! It is nice to see a lottery jackpot with over 50% cash to annuity ratio,,, This 44% jargon that the Big 2 are producing is for the birds. Good luck to you on the next draw if you are participating.

I know that this is technically not a lottery question, it's about PCH Sweepstakes bankruptcy .Reply
Thank you for that indepth detailed link to the PCH Annuity Sweepstakes Bankruptcy. :) I was mistaken when I said he was supposed to get millions until his death, turns out he was getting $260,000 a year before taxes. That's still a very nice chunk of change to live off. There are people who work for 10 years and accumulate around $260,000 minus taxes and he was getting that every year for 10 years and not having to work. He shouldn't have blown his money frivolously.

Annuity or Cash ValueReply
I forget who it is but a posters had a sig. You can always buy a better annuity . Also what winterbitd said about Publishers Clearing House.

Annuity over Here Do not have to worry about work for 30 years. Also have a developmentally delayed family member. I would set up a blind trust for. I don't need or want any access to 100s of .... or .......millions of dollars. There would be to many hands being held out. Wanting pieces of the pie.

Id take the cash. For a nightmare annuity scenario, just look at what happened with publishers clearing house. They declared bankruptcy and stopped paying out to the winners who still had payments coming.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
MM went for 40 draws under the $5.00 ticket to produce a jackpot of $485.2 cash/$980 annuity. If you can do math, that's 5 months. And? How long it takes is irrelevant to the probability of happening. Given your username I'd think it should be easy enough to understand. play all ya want, no one is gonna win till the breaks the billion dollar mark Somebody could win this Friday, but it's more likely that it won't be won until they sell about another 145 million tickets.

Hahaha a pool would never agree to take the Annuity. I wonder if different people in a pool can opt for different payout methods - that would be a lot of math for the lottery commission.

We plan to definitely take the cash. I do not thing a group of players can take the annuity. Does not matter though to us.

For us to even remotely consider looking at the chance of thinking about reviewing the possibility of plopping down our hard earned $5.00, the Jackpot Annuity would have to be greater than or equal to $32,000,000,000.00; that's $32 Billion Dollars or about $16 Billion Cash.

Thank you for telling me the right terminology, bankruptcy, not cancel. I used the wrong phrase when I said cancel a Mortgage. I guess all the PCH Annuity Sweepstakes winners will have to file for Bankruptcy. I don't know why the guy chose to buy a house with a 30 year Mortgage in the first place when he was already 51. He would have been 81 when the Mortgage was over and most likely would have been dead by then . It wasn't as if he were a young 21 year old who would have most likely still been
