would you take cash or payments on the PBReply
an additional thought if you live in a state with income tax the are going to take 5% on lump sum. If you take the annuity you could pay the 5% on the 1st annuity pay and then move to a state with no income tax such as TN TX FL NV. Can any one tell me why the MM Annuity vs cash is 90/53 = little less than 60% and PB is 340/164.4 which is less than 50%.

It appears every time I read one of your responses regarding jackpot sizes, you demonstrate a lack of understanding of annuity vs cash value of jackpots. Given you have posted over 800 times, you must of read thousands of posts and still you lack a clear understanding.

$190 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot rollsReply
LOL. Great minds think alike. Just reading this now and we're on the same page. If I were ever in charge of a lottery game which had really long odds, I would do away with the annuity. If the JP is $190M, $190M is what would be paid out. Minus taxes. But no annuity vs cash payout BS. They win the advertised JP in it's entirety right away. I think people would go for that and wouldn't pay so much attention to the fact that they would have a better chance of being raised from the dead

Wonder where the other half of 390 mill is?Reply
Maybe a financial planner isn't the first person to call, but I certainly wouldn't claim my prize before seeking legal counseling. Regarding the annuity vs cash question, I wouldn't leave that up to anyone else. However, I would review various investment options and spend time running some numbers. Then I would decide what was the best choice for my individual personality and lifestyle. Have you ever seen Deal or No Deal? The audience is always yelling No Deal because it's not their money.

Fresh Questions Anybody?Reply
They have to be repeated at one time or another, because how many different questions can there really be? I voted for the anonymity question, since that's the one I've seen since I first joined, but I suppose all of them have been repeated several times over the past year. The most common debate seems to be Annuity vs Cash. The most common poll seems to be what would you do if you won in one form or another or why do you play? etc. As far as favorite poster goes, I never even considered

Fresh Questions Anybody?Reply
mylollipop I voted for Other... I think the top two topics here are Annuity vs Cash Option and then Quick Picks vs selecting your own numbers. Since you're looking for fresh topis for polls and questions, maybe something on luck, are some people just luckier, how much is luck a factor or the factor, etc....

$750 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot surges to 4th-largest everReply
You are a much more patient than I would be maximumfun... Letting the state where you purchased your ticket dictate what your payment would be over 29 more years and taking a chance on what the federal tax rate maybe in 10/15/20/25 years. Especially if it is controlled by 1 of the political groups who just love increasing taxes. As we all know, money doubles based on rule 72. So,take the $465.5 with 37% taxes right now or gamble on taxes going lower/higher in 2030 or 2040 ?? Don't Forget about t

Are you ready for the attention?Reply
ROFLMAO. Come on Lejardin. That JP is mine. I have to say, both Gloria AND her son have done an extraordinary job staying out of the limelight and the press, and considering that she's the largest individual PB winner ever, that says a lot. So I think a $1B winner will be okay eventually if they are smart. PB was stupid to not have learned from MM. Sales are still down for both and there have been no record breaking JPs. Idiots. I want to see a 3rd game with REALLY awful odds. But wi
