    I'd take the cash option of $130.1 million. That's some serious dough.

  • I guess I am heading to the newsstand at lunchtime to buy the winning ticket...

    Holy crap, $130.1 is a lot of bank... I don't think that I would even tell my boss that I quit, I'd just stop coming to work and see how it would take for them to notice and fire me.

    Would make seeing PJ in other countries easy with that kind of money.

    I bought a ticket.

    I think Ill probably win. Id drive across the bridge to Philly to take down the Powerball too, but Im too lazy. The $130 Million is enough for me.

    I definitely wouldnt change that much. I would move home to Buffalo for sure, probably start a business I have wanted to start (and hire someone else run it). I would probably do something great for dogs. And travel a bunch.

    I would actually give a months notice at work.

    I swear to god, I better be the only winner of this $250 million (Powerball).

    If I have to share it with anyone I'm going to be PISSED!!!

    Hmm... aside from cashing out, I wonder if you'd get a better return on your investment to take the all-at-once payment into stocks/bonds/etc or if you'd get a better return leaving it with them and getting annual payments. Sounds like the former to me.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    I'd rather have the cash, because you never know what could happen.... but the annuity would be great as well... For $270 million, Imagine getting like an $8 million check every year for the next 26 years.

  • All of you actually throw your money away by playing the lottery? I'm disappointed. I expected better of PJ fans. I spent most of my life in the "gamblingest" state: Year after year, Rhode Islanders consistently wasted a larger percentage of their income than the residents of any other state. Now that RI's unemployment rate is over 11%, I'm curious to know if folks have stopped disposing of their disposable income. All that money they pissed away could have gone into a savings account, CD, etc.

    Partially relevant: RI has FINALLY outlawed greyhound racing! Welcome to the 1980s.

    based on the present value of a dollar and depreciation you're always suppose to take the 50% up front option.

    We worked it all out in my finance class.

    Ah, then you are not the typical "All of you" I had pictured. You remind me of me: I had to consider myself a smoker in the early 'noughties because I enjoyed zero to two cigarettes per day.
