Selling an Annuity
I am thinking of trying to buy Powerball tickets in United Kingdom. My motive is to claim the jackpot and pay no taxes. But I do not want to keep the annuity. Does anyone have experience in dealing with annuities? How difficult is it to sell an annuity for close to its present day value? Thanks.

New Hampshire Lottery launches $30 scratch-off ticket offering record $3 million top prizeReply
Tucker is right. The cash jackpot is the real jackpot. If a winner chooses the annuity the cash amount of the jackpot is simply invested to pay the annuity. The annuity payout is promoted in advertising jackpots to look better.

Annuity or Cash ValueReply
just look at what happened with publishers clearing house. Here's a fun fact. Publisher's Clearing House wasn't running a Ponzi scheme, but they were apparently paying for prizes won in the past with the money they were making when a prize payment was due. There was no prize money set aside in a separate fund, let alone with a 3rd party that was responsible for making the payments independently of PCH. If a state defaults on an annuity it's going to be because there was some major financial

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
It only made it past 160 because interest rates are up. The cash value of 72.9 million is only 44.7% of the annuity value. The last time it got past 150 the advertised annuity of 157 had a cash value of an even 72 million.

No winner again: Powerball jackpot hits $1.6 billion in longest-ever rollover runReply
Estimate was way off. They missed by even more in than MM missed back in October 2018 when they advertised a $1.6 billion jackpot and only managed 1.537. Depending on the metric you choose PB missed by almost 2 1/2 times as much as MM did. MM advertised an annuity increase of $600 million and missed by 10.5%. Powerball advertised a nominal annuity increase of $250 million and missed by 26%. Could be an indicator of lotto fatigue. Jackpot growth has definitely slowed down in general
