Lottery

[Aboozer]

I bought one of those lottery tickets for that lottery you win 1miilion a year for 25 years thing.

  You can either take the 1 million per year for 25 years, or take a lump sum payout of 17 million.

  Seeing as I am going to win and all, I was wondering what would you do? Would you take the lumpsum or would you take do the yearly thing?

[49er]

too many unknown variables......

  your age

amount of taxes you'll pay on the $17M

interest rates

your investment plans on the lump sum option

level of your generosity and number of relatives

  for me........I take the lump sum

[purelife]

Hmmm...that's a tough one.  I think that I would take the lump sum.  I can do without 8 mil.  Who knows where our Government is going to be in 25 years.  For all I know, records could be "mysteriously":lost or there is "insufficient" funds.

Lump sum then give myself a weekly allowance from Lise Bank.

[Gopher]

Take the lump sum.

I'd take the lump sum in a heartbeat. I'm sure I could get by with only 17 million dollars.

Ricky and Julian would take the $17 million and "invest" it in a new business opportunity.  By the end of the episode, they could be back to square one.
