CPW: The Lottery.

If you won a ridiculous amount of money in the lottery would you take the lump sum or payments? Why?

I think I would do lump some and find ways to invest it or grow a business.

I'd probably take payments.. you get more in the long run and I wouldn't spend it so fast haha. I would have some automatically go into investments and such.

I think we'd take a lump sum and go straight to our accountant/lawyer. 

I'd pay off our house and build a new one not too far away. We'd rent out our old house out for additional income. Buy a couple of newer (reasonable) cars. Maybe take a small vacation. Then we'd invest/save the rest.

Lump sum. I've heard if you take payments and you die it stops. Ie: cannot pass to spouse.

We have discussed this lol. We would split it. One would take their half in a lump sum and the other would take the payments. Win win !

payments. even the payments are large sums of money and you get to keep more.It keeps you from spending too much at once and its easier to handle a lil at a time

Lump sum.  I want my money and I want it now!

I'd want to take lump sum but most likely would go with payments. You get more and you can't bankrupt yourself via spending spree as easily.

Lump sum and pay off EVERYTHING.

I voted lump sum but should have picked SS. Since H works for the HQ of the gaming/lottery, we would end up in Federal Prison if we won or even played for that matter...

Anyone want to be our 10% buddy???

DOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!  Trying to think of what would be worth 10%?  ;-)
