Lump sum for sure. Never know about inflation and whatnot in the future. There's no reason not to take the lumpsum

Well, except for being unable to spend it responsibly (like 90% of lottery winners) and paying a lot more in taxes.

I'm seriously considering the Annuity, I'm only 28 and being set for life is pretty enticing.
Although having more money than Romney, or even God, is appealing too.
And you are seriously considering it....
Because you are going to win?

take lump sum
Put $20,000,000 into an immediate annuity. $50,000+/month for life.
Spend the other ~$300,000,000 on crank.

3% is about the breakeven point.
If you think you can do better than 3% a year every year, get the lump sum.

lump sum actually gives you more money in the long run due to inflation.
the difference between the annuity and the lump sum is: the annuity they invest it and give you part of the profits over the years (not all the profit they make from the investment just some.) lump sum they give you all the money they really have and you can do with it what you w ant (you should invest it and thereby gain more per year then the annuity would gain.
