Lump sum or annuity?
The major lotteries in the United States offer two jackpot payout options: annuity and cash.
The annuity option is paid over time. There is an immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, which increase by 5% every year.
The cash option is significantly lower than the advertised jackpot, but is paid out in a lump sum. You don’t have to wait decades for all the money.
Can I win the jackpot and remain anonymous?
In some states, like New Jersey, you can win the lottery anonymously. This wasn’t always the case, but winners are now able to remain anonymous under a law that was signed by Governor Phil Murphy.
In other states, the winner’s name and hometown are a matter of public record. Check with your state lottery for more details.
