You win the powerball tonite: Tell me this...

Black_Samson

Do you...

A. Take the cash payout, effectively giving away over $200 million, but having all your money up front. You lose that much more in taxes right away.

B. Take the annuity. You eventually get the full amount, you still lose a butt-ton in taxes, but it doesn't FEEL like you lose as much.


take the cash payout... fuck having them keep track of me.

KingJamal

Take the cash payout. I want all my money NOW!!!

cash out so I can get out

CC_Poncho

Want mine up front, government might just say, "let's stop payin these lottery winners" one day.

AZTG

I don't trust the government so I'll take cash. Annuity is a 20 year period, what if the government goes bankrupt and I don't get my money? What if the economy crumbles, inflation hits, and the dollar ain't shit no more? I don't trust no government with my millions.

Give me the $250 mil so I can turn it into gold bonds to combat inflation and sit on it.

Taking the money upfront and then building an empire.

VIBE

Take the lump.

We'd buy a huge house in the mountains. I'd get me a truck and boat. Camaro as well. I'd be set on that.

We'd help out some family. I'd make a charity donation.

lotto winnings IS considered Earn Income

that's why people have to pay taxes on it (anything over 10 Gs or more I think)


and it's up to the individual to take of it
the lottery official will only inform you that it needs to be done

Of course you pay taxes on it, I didn't say you didn't. That's why I said take the one time cash payment, to get the taxes out of the way. They not going to tax you every year if you don't have income. if that's the case, you might as well not win because you'll end up giving all to the irs within 5 years.

jono

I wouldn't tell anyone I won, I wouldn't act like I won and I wouldn't change shit if I won.


But since I'm not playing I won't win.

AZTG

I ain't win, now I'm trying to find the person that did

Du_Du

i'd take the anuuity... cuz by the 3rd year it would be just another check i'd be getting...

and you can put that shit in your will

WHAT HAPPENS IF AN ANNUITY PRIZE WINNER DIES?

The estate will handle the lottery prize. A lottery annuity prize is just like any other asset. You can pass any remaining annuity payments on to your heirs or to anyone else. The Powerball game will even cash out an annuity prize for an estate. This may make it easier for the estate to distribute the prize. It also may be necessary to cash out the annuity to pay Federal estate taxes. We will sell some or all of the securities at competitive bid or will even just transfer the securities to the estate. We do not charge a fee of any kind. I think that this misunderstanding may come from the response that the prize "goes to the Estate" and some people hear "goes to the State."

Probably would've took it all. Anything could happen in the future that could cause me to lose the money including death.

freehuey89

Always take the lump sum

MC The Rapper

shit with the dollar about to collapse I'm not risking a 20 year annuity and I'm flipping that shit into gold/real estate something

HustleTree

Its my money and I want it now!!!! Word to JG Wentworth... Im keeping the same chick that held me down when i aint have shit and we go around the world shittin on folks

Makaveli Joker

This is what kat would do

manofmorehouse

annuity payments ftw. You see all these horror stories about niggas that took lump sums, cashed out, blew dough on bitches and cars, and are dirt broke after 5 years. With the annual payments, a nigga receives money every year, essentially eliminating the need for a 9-5. A nigga could invest, open businesses, etc. without the fear of having to pour everything in and lose it all. You always have the comfort of knowing you get a check next year

King Erauno

annuity. plus you would get more than the lump sum amount as well. alot more

edwardnigma
