What kinda dingus would give up half their winnings just to get it NOW... take the darn annuity (especially since it's effectively inflation proof) Because you might be able to make more money in the long-term through investments given the magic of compound interest. TheCyborgNinja posted... I loved the lottery episode of Sliders. They had ATMs, and the more money you took (free), the more entries you made. The "winners" would be wined and dined then executed. It was a form of population control that also helped maintain order economically. It wasn't a secret though. Everyone knew. Great show, great episode. The concept was rather brazenly stolen from Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," though. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:885397712] in One Player...
