You got my $2
Assuming there are 50 of us in and we have the good fortune to win, doing the 30 year annuity starts the after tax payout at about $208k year 1. Up to $253k by year 5 and by year 10 you are at $323k.
Honestly, I would rather have the 30 year payout. That is a lot of BBI's in Yurp with all the mangs.

In!!! Coinage submitted. Time to make it rain... Audis.

In! I got a good feeling about this one
It would be very annoying and burdensome and probably expensive dealing with arranging to pay out the annuity to 50 different people (and later some of their estates and heirs) and all the nonsense that comes with that. Honestly sounds like a nightmare for the winners to be beholden to each other like that over 30 years.Quote:

I'd take the cash option for sure.
Anyway, I'm in for another round!

Thanks again
Cash option. Always.
Time. Value. Of. Money.
When we win, consult bmills to find the right legal team and strategy to get us the dough!
If it were just me scoring a solo winning ticket, I'd be all about the annuity option. HOWEVER, due to a not insignificant percentage of our friends here being of a more ...ahem... advanced age, I'm sure they'd rather just cash in their chips sooner than later. Plus like Kevo said, it'd be a hudge PITA to deal with. Not that I'd be complaining either way. Hahaha.Quote:

We all laffed.
OMG. Austin, I hope you were secretly imagining administering swift kicks to the nuts. I can't wrap my head around that. "I don't want to win a big prize because the gubmint gets a big chunk." WTF is in the water down there?

How many times have you heard friends/relatives/coworkers say that their raise was 100% eaten up by taxes. Or they don't want the promotion because they'll net the same $. People are fuckin dumb about money.Quote:

Hahaha. It was definitely some dumb logic. Now don't get me wrong. Playing the lottery PERIOD is dumb logic statistically speaking, but saying you wouldn't be interested in a nearly 400 MILLION dollar payout post lump sum hit and post taxes is random gas station moran logic at its finest. Wasn't a "freedumb" kinda guy either FWIW. I was in the hood.Quote:
