Lump sum. You could be dead tomorrow. I'd be more inclined to take it over a period of time if I was younger and if they didn't make you reveal your identity. Old ass archaic rules.
If you win over say 50k you should have the option to keep that shyt private. There isn't a single upside to letting 300+ million people know you're all of a sudden worth over half a billion dollars. Face plastered everywhere.
I'm wearing a mask and a fat suit to pick my shyt up. Looking like Eddie Murphy in the Nutty Professor.

Lump sum.
Crossed out everything I can avoid splurging on. Yeah I'm safe taking the lump sum.

Lump, the money's value decreases over time so take the payout.
40 million a year.
There is no reason for me not to take this option. Over 25 years it would add up to 1 billion.
Is there an investment that would guarantee the 500 million would be worth 1 billion in 25 years time? There might be, this is a genuine question.
Anyway, 40 million a year is not going to hurt me. It is already more money than I need in life time. It would give me enough money to live a very comfortable lifestyle and enough time to learn how to manage my money.

I'm of the same mindset. It's funny how everyone that takes the lump sum just generally knows that they're going to just make money automatically. Speaking conservatively you can probably be fine off 3-5 mil and invest the rest of the money. The lotto people bank off people's pure greed to take that lump sum.
Your payments are adjusted for inflation.
