Somebody, I think in Oregon, won the $340 million Powerball Lottery, 2nd largest in history. I believe the largest was a Mega Millions $363 million jackpot. Just for fun, if you won a gigantic jackpot like that, how would you take it, 40% cash or 26 equal payments? I'd take cash, despite the tax advantages of payments, of which there might not be any, and anyway I don't expect to live another 25 years :~( My descendants can learn to work for theirs. The only thing I would give away is to set up an educational trust fund to encourage the little beggars to go to college and then they would have to pay back the fund over 10 or 20 years so their offspring would get the same chance.
