Prize Payout

With Powerball being the biggest lottery in the world, they have plenty of experience in paying out large jackpots. You have the option of collecting your winnings in one of two ways, each with their own set of advantages and disadvantages. You can claim the entire amount in one big chunk, but the total sum will be lower than taking it in annuities. Your other option is taking the prize in annuities, or regular installments of lower amounts spread over a long period of time. What’s the better choice? It depends on you!
