Imagine if you won the jackpot! what are your chances to do so? what numbers would you pick? would you take the annual installments or a reduced lump sum if you won?
do you have numbers in mind? if so, jot them down (unless you want to keep them to yourself! if they are birthdays or numbers you use, you do not have to post, just describe). have those numbers won before? in about 200 will give you an example then.. :
hello! i sometimes play and use birthdays/anniversaries for numbers. i do combinations of months and days for my kids, my husband, and myself. i do know that i would take the lump sum, instead of 30 payments. you end up taking the chunk out in taxes first, but in the long-haul, you save.
