  Several games (not counting the Lose for Life variety) have the annuity paid out in 30 annual payments. Of these, Powerball's is a graduated annuity; its payments increase yearly by 4%.

  I predict Mega's will if they ever add another state. Either that or they'll backload their annuity too.

  My vote is no because what would happen if someone dies? 30+ years is too much.

  The Pepsi annuity was 40 annual payments with a balloon. I've heard of "million-dollar" giveaways with 50 annual payments.
