Getting the money over 20 years seems so stupid, it won’t give you any interest and over 20 years just because of inflation it will be probably worse than 50% less…
That depends entirely on how good you are at managing your money. With regular payments you’d still have a ridiculous amount of money even the first month, and no matter how badly you fuck up you’re still rich 20 years from now.
And yet at 40 million a year, I don’t think inflation is going to bother you ever again. That’s good advice for relatively small payouts like 10k, but at a certain point the annuity becomes an effectively unlimited credit line.

Plus, if the company goes out of business, you’re fucked.
At least in my state, the lottery is run by the state government. The taxes from it go to schools.
Dozens of people have gotten a chuckle out of this over the years. dozens!
I mean, the taxes from the lottery do. What that don’t tell us is the taxes originally earmarked for schools now go to something else.

Unless the government collapses in the next 20 years and can’t pay it.
If the government collapses then your money is worthless anyways.
Oh, there’ll still be a government. But they may not be willing to ship his checks to the labor camp.
Yup, you’d be far better off doing doing the “buy, borrow, die” strategy and never paying taxes like other rich people
