Merry ChristmasReply
Ques to throw out for discussion: I win the Lucky for Life and choose the annuity (let's assume I'm young for the sake of this argument) Okay, 20 yrs has gone bye ..... I'm in my mid fifties let's say and I'm in good health ..... I decide to sell my annuity to some financial company ..... Is that even possible? I would think if it were it would be based on 20 more years of my life, right? Oh yeah, Merry Christmas all!

$935 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot nears billion-dollar milestoneReply
I feel this pot going to climb into the top 3 Maybe, but it needs to almost double, to about 1.815 billion to be in the real top 3, based on the current cash:annuity ratio. It will reach a billion by Saturday for sure. That would require actual sales to be almost twice as much as the original forecast. Call me crazy, but I think that seems just a tiny bit unlikely. Considering the odds are even higher for mega millions than they are for Powerball ... The very high odds for

North Carolina 18-year-old wins $1 million in lottery after asking sister to buy ticket for himReply
Such a nice looking family. I think they included grandma also. I think anyone below 30 should take the annuity.

Finally. A lottery winner who takes the annuity, which is the best option. Way too many people take the lump sum, only to lose everything years later. I am glad that the winner decided to get paid over a 20 year period.

Congratulations to this young man in his win. People are always advised against taking the annuity, but it ensures he'll have an annual income for the next 19 years and won't blow it all right away. This also keeps the roaches from coming out of the woodwork.

I love everything about this story. To me, this is the best of the lottery. Seems like a good kid with a good family, who all accompanied him to claim the prize. Love the family photo. No squabbling about who won the prize. Great choice on the annuity. Good choice on the Audi too!

For some odd reason I like seeing younger lotto winners. He chose the annuity of $50,000 over the next 19 years Good choice choosing the annuity, no hurry, he'll have money coming in, no need to have it all at once right now. Congrats to him!

$1.3 billion Mega Millions lottery winner's family sues him for not sharing jackpotReply
Moral of the story: Tell no one that you've won the Lottery. Create a Trust. Do the annuity. Place the winnings into blue chip stocks and hold them for 30 years. Too bad no one sees it this way....

The Idiot TaxReply
yeah, people have been complaining for decades that the advertised annuity prize is a far cry from what you actually get if you actually won. you're a bit late to the party, but there's still some bud light in the fridge.

Mega Millions and Powerball offer $1.11 billion in combined lottery jackpotsReply
I liked it better when we weren't being lied to about the jackpots restarting at $40M ( last for the PB was on 2-15-2020) not the $20M(starting on 4-11-2020) figure they blamed on Covid. I also liked it better when the Cash to Annuity value was at 66% and not this mere 47% jargon.....Gotta take the good with the bad I suppose....Onward we go..Best of luck to everyone that participates.
