Would you take the cash payout or payments over the next 29 years???
CASH! I wouldn't want to be in the situation that some in IL are in when their elected officials didn't pass the budget last year for this year, so the lottery can't pay out any ticket over $600 until the budget passed. Could you imagine not getting your $43 million some year because they can't pass a budget...

At my age I would take the lump sum and then watch all the relatives I have not seen for years show up at the front door. To their surprise I no longer live there and no forwarding address.
