  Whatever Cash!

  I just wouldn't on 1 or 2 million.

   

  You know what I don't like?  When I went to GA and to CA, I didn't notice until after I got my tickets they all say Cash Value Option on it.  That means while I was in CA, I only got 1 ticket that said Annual Payments on it. 

  Let's say I would have won on one of  the CVO's but I insisted on getting Annual Payments and my defense was the cashier didn't give me a choice and I didn't notice it until way after I bought the tickets...do you think the lottery commission would let me take AP?

  
  

  
  

  IN GA it doesn't matter what the ticket says.  You can take either one if you win, however, you have a certain time frame to change it.

  Oh ok.  that makes me feel better cause if I would have won Lotto South or Mega Millions I would have been able to take AP.

  Don't know but i heard on the news the numbers that everyone played the last time it was won. They were hand picked numbers. Now the company that makes the fortunes says it will use a computer to pick the numbers they place in the cookies from now on.

  Never choose annuity payments!

  
  

  give it a rest - what we choose is our business.  it won't affect you in the least.  win first!!!

  love to nibble those micey feet.
