750,000,000 Powerball winner doesn't have a husband


Recommended Posts

Good for her, but I couldn't believe she showed up for the press conference chawing a piece of gum. I mean, come on.

She'll be like that other big winner years ago that blows through all their money in a few years

 

Edit: Whittaker is who I was thinking of

that is exactly why i would take the annuity, so i could blow through it, then in january, get some more to blow through, and so on, and so on, and so on....

If invested the same the lump sum will be worth more long term

 

This. Plus, in her 50's, she's unlikely to live to see every payment if she takes the annuity option. I don't think you can will the annuity to anyone, either, so it just ends up being money you donate back to the lottery.
