Anyone here buy tickets? a whopping million bones a year for 25 years? Only flaw is......no more satellites! unless you're really that cheap.

  • I bought $60 worth of tickets the other day. Early bird deadline was yesterday.

    Would you take the $17mil or 1mil a year for 25yrs?

    I think I go with 17.
  • I'd go with the 17 mil as well, just find a descent investment organizer...hell if my Dad's can get him 14% in times like this I'd be happy with $1.2 Mil a year for doing nothing (and yes that's after taxes, lol)

  • I"d take the million a year and play poker..... that should cover me till I hit retirement.

    60 bucks. I bought 200 worth of tix
  • I would take the million a year. I wouldnt be able to give up all that extra cash if i took the $17 mill knowing i could just be really patient and get $25 mill.

    one mil a year is still a lot though so id be happy:)
  • Take it up front, inflation after 20 years would kill you.

    Ya i'm gonna get some tickets
  • tonight is the big draw....it could be a forumer!
  • No win for me. Anyone else?
  • Sorry, I'm against gambling :)
  • Still a student in debt for a bit longer...
  • Using a bit of math on the issue:

    Assuming an annual rate of return of 5%, $1,000,000 per year for 25 years is worth $14,093,945. The up-front cash of $17M is definitely the better option.
