Lump Sum. ---- You want control of your $$.
I think at those amounts the $$$ control you.Lump Sum. ---- You want control of your $$.
We're 15 minutes from 3 different border crossings, seriously considering driving down to Washington state on Friday night or Saturday morning and buying a few tickets ;-)If I’m Canada, I’d take the lump sum. We don’t pay tax on winnings so it would be fun to spread that around as much as possible.
A million is worth that much anymore. I think you better make that number $10m.

I don't want all of you to be jealous, but ... we won $4 last night with our Powerball winnings. Yes, no worries as we have contacted a lawyer and are ready for people to come out of the woodwork.
And lump sum for us!
Jokes on you when you win your $749 million lump sum, and you have to give 1% to each currently 63 people. Then after you give away $472 million of the jackpot number, but now realize you have to pay the 37% taxes on your $749 million at $277 million so you'll only have $0 left!I'm giving 1% of my Powerball jackpot winnings to each person who comments in this thread, so I assume you want me to take the lump sum.
Oh, that's so not true. There are plenty of celebrities out there who managed to burn through that kind of money in just a few years through careless spending combined with bad management and too much trust in other people. Multiple homes, top-end cars, chartered planes and $30K/night rental villas; it all adds up. Throw in an entourage and you'd be surprised how fast it all can blow away.Lump sum. It’s something like 757 mil before taxes. More money than anyone can spend in a lifetime.
Looks like a huge back up from Las Vegas for lotto ticket buyers trying to get to the Lotto Store in Primm which is just across the border in California.
This, exactly. I've been dreaming for years about all the amazing things my "Foundation" will fund. And the goal of my remaining time on earth would be to give/spend it down to the very last penny.I'm in Canada, I’d take the lump sum.

Please PM me for my contact info, when "our" ship comes in.I'm giving 1% of my Powerball jackpot winnings to each person who comments in this thread, so I assume you want me to take the lump sum.
Ha! I'd be like your wife because there's "can we afford it" vs. "is it worth it".My only concern would be that my wife would still be too cheap to upgrade to club level rooms.
Yes I know that this happens. But I would hope that it wouodOh, that's so not true.

Apparently, Jimmy Buffet had a falling out with some of his band members some years back when he was reviewing his tour expenses and realized that about 20 extra people seemed to have appeared on the payroll. A couple of guys had invited their entire extended families to come along on a 3-month tour, all expenses paid. They hadn't even bothered to ask him, and they were ticked off when he told them the extra people were out.
When you have that kind of money (and JB nearly does, btw) people around you often presume that you won't care if they spend some of it for you, so the only way to *keep* that kind of money is to watch it carefully.
