WOLFRAM FTW
not really u get less up front but if u take the $ every yr u have to pay taxes on that every yr and taxes go over 20yrs.. and like i said they were already late on lotto yearly payouts (my wife sold million $ ticket 3 yrs ago) we know about the lottery.. just like they tell u the $ goes to schools., really, then y they want 2 billion $ school bonds every 3 yrs and y do teachers have buy supplies for class?You wind up getting less $$ if you opt for the lump sum...and pay more in taxes. There might be some sort of contract deal that your guaranteed the money per year no matter how fucked up the government is. It's not theirs, and they got their fair share already....
