Lump sum.
I'd pay off my UG and law school loans, put the rest of the money in the bank and finish law school. I'd like to think I would still live my life mostly the same even if I had won millions. |

They don't give the total amount of winnings on the lump sum. The 250 million is only worth 124 million as the lump sum. It just depends on how old you
are, and how well you handle money.
I'd take annual. |

Lump sum. I want my money and I want to be able to do with it as I please like spending it, saving it, investing it
ETA: In Canada, you get the lump sum,
tax free. I just did some quick research as it peaked my interest on how the OLG handles the prize money.

clarified that in the OP. I'd still rather take the lump sum. I'd rather make interest off the money than them making interest off of it, even though
it's less than I could get in total.

I'd take the lump sum, take care my family, myself and my future kids. Keep enough to travel. Then I would give the rest to different charities.
But since I didn't get ONE number on tonight's lottery, I don't think I need to worry about it.

Lump sum. You can get a better return on investments. Money today is worth more than money tomorrow.
W/ a lump sum you can put all of the money in a interest yeilding account and count on that w/o ever touching the base amount. The amount you won will always be there while you let the money work for you. |
