Just a thoughtReply
Casho,At least I know the meaning of Annuity vs. Cash Option. Obviously, you don't since you got a big fat NO (6 in total) votes for your definition. You got 1 Yes vote which obviously was yours.

Michigan's WinfallReply
Bradly: I hope WINFALL puts pressure on Ohio to overhaul its Stupid Lotto - no more Kicker (MI dropped its Zinger a while ago) and for OH to use the same cash value for lump sum vs annuity winners. I'm sure OH will counter that its Lotto 6/49 starts at $4 million, whereas WINFALL will be capped at $5 million.

It probably won't make much of a difference but ya never knoReply
Cash,Well I'm only in my late 20s, although I have been called an old soul ...If I have reason to meet with the lottery folks (read: if I win) I would ask for a few moments to discuss lump sum vs. annuity. I'm sure they've probably already heard about it and as I said in my email to them MA Millions and Megabucks are too similar IMO. One of them (probably MM) needs to change..

What Powerball is suggesting..Reply
I don't think it would be wise for Powerball to make the plays $2 (OK with the Powerplay option.) I think Ohio players are eager to try BG-MM, especially with the long odds to win the $5 fourth prize in Super Lotto Plus. Ohio still gyps those who take the lump sum in Super Lotto Plus (cash value is 44% of annuity, vs 53-54% in BG-the extra four years in the OH annuity DO NOT account for the large percentage differential).

Ohio Super Lotto 6/49 for 10/13/2001Reply
These games are usually not worth playing: 1) MA Megabucks 6/42; 2) Mass Millions 6/49. Both games are still ANNUITY-ONLY. 3) NY Lotto 6/59 (2g-$1) Prize pool only 40% of sales. 4) OH Lotto 6/49. Ohio uses different cash values for annuity vs lump-sum winners. 5) PA Super-6 (6/69; 3g-$1) Players CANNOT choose 2/3 of #. 6) Tri-St Megabucks 6/42 (ME-NH-VT); In N.H. play Powerball.

Mega Millions to adjust starting jackpot amount, eliminate minimum increasesReply
Ok,.. So it's obvious again, that you don't SEE the difference in $40 Million, vs $20 Million resetjackpots.. Friday's advertised MM jackpot was $121 million and with only 8.35 million tickets sold there was only a 2.7% of somebody winning the jackpot. And if they did, considering what the World is now going through, it's plain stupid to get a 29 year annuity. We know that the increases has always reflected ticket sales from draw to draw..!! Because the with the exceptions of the s

POWERBALL CREATES WORLD'S FIRST BILLION-DOLLAR JACKPOTReply
. I've been thinking of annuity vs. cash payment. Annuity: more efficient spending of your doggone money Cash option: Will pretty much prevent the rare/unlikely event of an IRS computer getting a glitch, and erroneously printing some notice for you to report your local irs office.

Wisconsin MegaBucks $$Reply
The starting jackpot for WI's Megabucks is 1 mil. It really takes a long time for the jackpot to crawl up this high... I'd have to look it up but I think it's been nearly a year and a half since this jackpot started rolling. The lack of bigger jackpots in PA probably has to do with PA's population being more than double of WI's. I just looked up the number of winners from the last Megabucks draw and, based on number of 2nd and 3rd prize winners, I'd estimate there were only $200,000-$300,000
