Jackpot : Annuity vs cash value
There is a discussion in the MM thread about taking the annuity vs cash value. I thought taking the cash value is 100% the right decision. Long term investments will almost always beat the return of a annuity right?

Annuity vs Cash Value
Whit the low interest rates available today, the cash value is approximately 71% of the annuity jackpot amount. Which would you take if you won a jackpot?

One more annuity vs cash discussion
One thing I haven't seen mentioned in these discussions, (or I missed), is any mention of someone taking a cash option not having the same buying power , let's say, of what the annuity offered. In other words, let's say the deal is a $100,000,000 annuity spread over 20 or 26 years as compared to a cash option that is about 40% of that, pre-tax. I've learned here on LP that the advertised jackpot amount (annuity) doesn't really exist in cash (and that's what the prize wouldl be, theorhet

Anyone have a reasonable explanation for some of these wacky increases with the jackpot annuity vs cash value ? The cash value is right at 60%+/- of the Annuity Value on the average.

On Saturday January 23rd of this year, the Jackpot Annuity went up $80K and the Cash Value went up $100K from the previous draw....That'

The thread in which Chuck explained things was in a thread about a pool winning PB, when the usual debates about annuity vs cash started. You can start here: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/139681.htm?p=2 As Todd pointed out, MM pays out on a different schedule, but other than that the procedure is similar. Seek bids, buy the annuity, send a check each year. It is, naturally, the annuity that is determined by interest rates. Ticket sales generate cash, and the cash is used to buy the
