Iowa Lottery to add Double Play add-on feature to PowerballReply
Just want to add*** Double Play does not have an annuity like the main PowerBall draw. The 10,000,000 is $10,000,000 before federal state taxes which is a nice plus!

Jackpot : Annuity vs cash valueReply
There seems to be an assumption the highest tax rate always goes up. The facts indicate otherwise. https://www.wolterskluwer.com/en/expert-insights/whole-ball-of-tax-historical-income-tax-rates Taking the annuity might be a good decision.

$1.55 BILLION: Biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever to be drawn TuesdayReply
For those who this is offered, is anyone going to do 'Just the Jackpot?' Sometimes I do, but not certain if the IGT machine end of road even has this on the screen.

That would be a great idea. However, I think and I could be wrong, that they base the duration 29/30 years on the interest earned. That's why the cash option is significantly less because that's the cash in hand. The annuity option on the other hand is based on returns on the invested amount. Thus they need a bigger window for that and probably buy the 30 year Treasury Bond.

$1.25 BILLION: Mega Millions jackpot set to deliver unimaginable wealthReply
Looking at the top 25 list, I don't see Texas on there in the top 25 Annuity or Cash Value at all, as a Jackpot winner. New York has nothing in the top 10. PA has nothing.The current list shows winners from TN, SC and Maine in 3 of the Top 4 all time Jackpots that have been won. None of those states even have 3% of the nations population in them according to https://www.infoplease.com/us/states/state-population-by-rank Might have to respectively disagree with you on your analysis of small s
