    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.

    Yeah, because of small percentage of financially inept idiots ruined their lives means we should stop gambling all together...

    Brilliant!

    I suppose we should outlaw alcohol because there are drunks out there...

    I'm sorry, I have no sympathy for fuckin morons. If you hawk away your money to win big on the lotto then you are what is defined as what does not evolve. You are NOT the fittest, but the DUMBEST.

    I spend perhaps $2 total on the lotto each year (I'm now 28) so a total of $20 has been spent...usually on a $150 million+ sum.
    My god, just think of what could have been done with that money!!! :shock:

    Shit, I've probably made more money typing this response than I've lost in lotto in 10 years...


    Again, if you rely on the lotto or dogs for your success...you are exactly what is wrong with this economy...and I fully blame you (the stupid).

    Mega Millions shouldn't be up to 207 million, cause I should have won it on Tuesday (when it was what like 170 million?!)

    My numbers were 4-5-26-37-55 Megaball 25
    Winning nums were 4-5-26-37-56 Megaball 25

    I'd cash-out and diversify....put a lot of it into gold, and take physical delivery of the gold. In case things in this country were to collapse, gold would be very negotiable.

    I got my tickets, folks!

    I did buy the ticket, and I did pick those numbers dude. I won $10,000. The fucked up part is if I would have picked 56 instead of 55 I would have won 170 million dollars. And now I get to be the asshole for complaining cause I "only" won $10,0000. Guess not a lot of people get the fact that I picked these numbers, I got them all except the last one, and I was only off by 1.
