Of course you can invest at a better rate. I take the lump sum every time.
You can invest at a better rate, however the lottery is the equivalent of investing in risk free bonds and seemingly pays a better rate that buying treasuries.

Wow. How many times have you won the lottery that you can state that you take the lump sum every time?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Why put hundreds of million in treasuries?

Risk Free, would be similar investment to what the lottery does.
I'm not who you think I am.

That's what a lot of the smart money does.

Why take any risk if you can get all the income you need risk free?

Did you ever read Richard Russell's Rich Man Poor Man piece?

a lot of the people buying lottery tickets aren’t exactly making the best economical decision to begin with so if they won they may not know how to handle such large amounts,
Please keep the racist comments in the political thread.  :)

Here comes the racist who assumes that all those who make bad financial decisions are from a specific race.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

For some reason I feel that every story of a winner is how he chose to put his kids birthdays as the numbers or some other string of numbers. You never really hear that they did a quick pick.

You tell me the winning numbers and I will tell you if there will be a birthday story.

My journey by Dr . Moose:


I was driving to the store really really fast and got pulled over. When I eventually got to the store I bought a lottery ticket . It won .
