General question(s)
Hey all...Lottery (and forum) neub here. I haven't been able to find an answer to this question so here goes...Let's say I win a powerball jackpot (10 million plus). Let's say I'm at the Lottery office when the doors open (as I most certainly would be, signed ticket in hand). How much time elapses between the moment I say I think I have a jackpot winning ticket , and the moment I actually have cash in my possession? What is the process?And if you could clarify me on something... I have seen a l

cash vs. annuityReply
Here's my take on the annuity vs lump sum thing. For me it would depend on the jackpot. If I won a small jackpot like the Lottosouth for like 5 mill. I'd take the lump sum. It would end up being about 2.5 mill and then when taxes are taken out it would end up being a check for about 1.65 mill give or take a few hundred thousand.

Mega Millions changing June 24 -officialReply
Quote: Originally posted by tg636 on April 18, 2005Yeah, I know, but so what. The question is, do you want to have a slim chance at winning a jackpot or almost no chance.

Before we can debate on cash vs annuity, WE FIRST NEED TO WIN A JACKPOT. First things first.

Online calculator to calculate cashReply
michiganplayer,I looked around the web via search engines and couldn't find any online calculator sites for Powerball and Mega Millions. Found several sites that describe the payments for annuity vs lump sum, including at the official sites, but nothing with an online calculator. I did see one online calculator at the Ohio lottery web site, but it looked like it was only for the Ohio lottery (lotteries have different payout years for their annuities so it would only work with a lottery with

Friday $73 Million for Mega MillionsReply
The powerball jackpot looks bigger than the MegaMillions sometimes only because of the 30 year Powerball annuity vs the 26 year annuity.Generally the cash values track one another pretty well.Few people actually choose the annuity, nor should they. The annuity value's just advertising.

Suppose the Jackpot is $10 millions paid out in 25 yearsLump sum you get 5 Million- 40% taxes= 3 Millions cash and every year you will pay taxes on income from your 3 million investment IncomeAnnuity you will get $400000 - 40% taxes = $260000 for 25 yearsIs any CPA or accountant or somebody smart with numbers can tell which will come ahed ? Lump sum or Annuity ?Thanks

$140 Million! Mega Millions Jackpot LargReply
RJ:You mean, of course an Ohio winner of Mega Millions would choose after they win.The NY Lottery thinks it's a monopoly, which it is of course in NY. The NY Lottery's treatment of cash vs annuity actually has WORSENED under its Lottery Director (I met her in 1999 at a winners' press conference in front of a store), hired in 1999 by our (now third-term) Governor.

Poll Deleted
I have deleted the most recent poll comparing annuity vs. cash. It is against the rules to have (and post under) more than one username. You know who you are, and this is the only warning.

Just a thoughtReply
Now, you're mixing up players income vs. winning the lottery? That just goes to show you, you know absolutely NOTHING about the lottery payouts. Obviously, you don't know the difference of earned income vs. lottery income. How does a tennis player wages have to do anything with Cash and Annuity?
