giving up hundreds of millions of dollars in the future.

Will there even be a U.S. dollar 5-10 years from now? if I won, I would take the lump-sum too.

The lump sum was a smart decision. Going public with his identity was not.

They can make the same “Hundreds of millions” if they invest it. It’s what the Lottery does. If the Lottery had all the cash on hand, they could lump sum the whole amount.

I heard him quoted as saying, "You can't guarantee tomorrow."

He intends to tithe a good bit to his church and keep on working. Sounds like a nice guy to have a beer with.

At 70, I take the money now.
