600 Million Powerball Jackpot
« on: May 18, 2013, 05:13:57 PM »
If you were the sole winner, would you take the lump sum or the 30 annual payments?



Myself would take the 30 annual payments.   Main reason is that until the last annual payment has been received in my 70's.  I know my car brakes should be perfect until then.  :devil

Take the lump. Say maybe 400M after taxes, give 100M to charity (300M left). Give 1M to all close relatives (275M left). Take 50M and go on a spending spree (225M left). Use 10M and invest in something (215M left). Save the rest for the rest of my life and my kids and go on vacations 24/7.

Take a lump sum, and pay for the construction a gyroscopic like vrtual cockpits for aces
high, complete with a
microwave, hot pockets, and cold beer. And I live in a modest house with a modest yard with a 2 story garage, subteranian level for my aston martin DB7, half tracks and BMW sedan Mach 6, Mach 3 and camaro

the rest I'd invest into restoring airplanes, trust funds for my kids, and luring life to the fullest c

take the lump sum to invest to make up for inflation. 

Then purchase Aces High for $875,000 and have all of tank town to myself to scout for chicks in my Fi-156.

Always take the lump sum, that's money you can be making interest off of.

I would take Mr gqruzel and his missus out for quadruple lobster dinner and them buy them a houseboat on Lake Hamilton.

He'd need to get a ham licence though.  I cant stand cell phones.

Lump sum is better.. if your countrys economy takes the dump there will be no more 'annual' payoffs ;)

Best to take the money and invest it around for safety. Or at least buy other currencies.

the 30 years is a guaranteed rate of return, also a guarantee that you won't spend the lump sum on the first 18 year old girl that crosses your path. 

and based on past studies most lottery winners end up broke.
