would you take $276,300,000 over 30 years in payments over 30 years or just take $139,421,731.44 cash. i did not win the lottery but i dp play it and i always ask people what would they do. and if u do choose the 30 year deal thats about 9.21 million a year. so wich deal wold u take and what would u do if u won ?



I would be extremely hard pressed to figure out how to spend 9 million a year. I would be a little concerned about what 9 million though would be worth in about 10 years much less 30 years. Might not be worth much by then. I might consider just taking the 139 million up front. I would however claim the jackpot as part of 6 other people–my 2 sons, my sister, my brother-in-law, and his two children. That is still 20 million each–more than enough for one person or one family. 20 million invested in dividend paying blue chip stocks will generate about 600,000 a year in income. Never earned that much in one year in my life. Never spent that much in 10 years in my life either.
Well, with that income flow I am pretty sure I could accumulate the one of the largest life lists of birds ever accumulated.
I would rather make the Interest than them..What with being an Investor..Play around with a fraction of it in Stocks, The majority in Bonds, Staggered and of differing maturities ..
If you’re like most, and wouldn’t know how to manage money,..You would be better letting them manage it…Did you see those Lottery winners turned Disaster Shows,..Most can’t handle it and self-destruct…
I would definitely take the cash. It wouldn’t be that difficult to double it within 10-15 years by investing, probably even as little as 5 without having to take many risks. Within 30 years you could turn that into twice or four times as much as $276,300,000.
