Lump sum. You'd make more money earning .1% interest with the lump sum payment over the 26 years than you would with the annuity. Hurrr durrr

Right. But since the type of people that play the Lotto are generally the type of people that depend on monthly checks coming out of the blue, the annuity option is probably more popular among winners.

I honestly prolly couldn't handle all that skrilla. I also have no plan yet except hiring lawyers, accountants, etc and stuff that shit in a trust or corp to hide identity.
 
I haven't bought a lotto ticket in years and don't know what the numbers go up to - but they say you have a 1 in 175 million chance of winning the jackpot. Why doesn't someone just buy 175 million tickets (every possible combination) and instantly double their money?

Hmmm I guess you could get screwed if 5 other jackasses get lucky with their 1 ticket lol
 
Lump sum. With the rate the FED is printing money, in 10 years it will take $500 million to buy a loaf of bread.
 
If I win the Mega Millions, you'll know because:

- BlokBlok's girlfriend will have new fake boobs
- I will go to Uganda and buy a child from Kony's army as a slave
- I will buy 1,000 Spam Gone Wild packages to rank variations of Googlehammer.com on the first 10 pages on Google for the term "Matt Cutts"
