Lump sum is absolutely laughable for a 1.8 BILLION jackpot. Annuity would net you 1 billion, BUT it comes with 30 years of decreasing dollar purchasing power and subject to changing tax rates. 🤔

Not me
This sort of decision has gotten a lot easier. Always take the lump sum and dump it into Bitcoin.
Funny how nobody’s talking about the risks of putting all your eggs in a volatile basket. Sure, some studies suggest lump sums outperform DCA, but those same studies often ignore market timing risks. What if the "data" is curated? Follow the money—crypto promoters profit from FOMO, not long-term stability. Diversification isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a hedge against the kind of madness that turns "investing" into a pump-and-dump scheme. Ever notice how every hot tip aligns with someone’s agenda?

$492m?
Bro I could give everyone Important to me $1m and still have over $450m left....
Guess I'll just have to build houses for the homeless...and pay for people's groceries...
Recieving 27% of the amount you won is the laughable part. I agree $492m would allow to change a lot of lives in my community.
The claim that "receiving 27% of the amount you won is the laughable part" lacks clear context or evidence. Without knowing the specific scenario—whether it’s taxes, prize distribution, or another system—the 27% figure feels arbitrary. For example, if this refers to taxes, the U.S. federal income tax rate for the highest earners is 37%, not 27% (IRS, 2023). However, state taxes or other deductions could bring the effective rate lower. But where is the source for this 27% figure? The research results provided don’t directly address this claim, and most links are either low-quality or unrelated.
Is the 27% a tax rate, a fee, or a share of a prize? If it’s a tax, how does it compare to standard rates? If it’s a prize, why is 27% considered "laughable"? Could this be a misinterpretation of a complex system? Without clarification, the claim remains speculative. I’d ask: What’s the source of this 27% figure? Are there specific examples or data supporting it?
