    There are two factors, actually three as to why I’d take the lump sum.
    1) I’m 56 years old. I’m not guaranteed to live until I’m 90.
    2) If I took the annuity and died before the 30 years of payments, the lottery prize is not transferable.

    100% taking the lump sum. Who knows what tomorrow my bring and how the tax situation can change (depending on which political party has control). The taxes are 37% today but could be 40%+ next year. I would hire the best professional team I could to help me with investments, tax strategies, estate planning, etc. You could invest enough of that money in dividend yielding stocks to have a yearly income where you never would need to touch the principal. Also, the annuity is not one single lump sum each year. It is a scaling amount that increases 5% each year. No way I would ever consider taking the annuity.

      Lump sum. Pay all the taxes once and be done forever. Since my time is short, I would live off of the remainder and be happy because you can legally prove you have zero income after that. Turn the tables back on the tax fiends with zero income and have them pay you subsistence because in their eyes you are technically in poverty with no income. For now you are taxed on oncome, not possessions.
      Spend what is left giving you and your family some security in things that are not based in fiat money. Gold. Silver. Ammo. Weapons. Tools. Food stores. Shelter. The rest of the things you can buy are not really eligible for true ownership since someone has to grant you a title (cars, land, and homes will be confiscated when the state bribe-taxes cannot be paid) and it's use can be revoked at any time by the tyrant of the day. The things you can purchase now need to mean something for when the currency becomes wall paper. This is going to occur sooner than you can imagine.

    I accidentally stumbled across your video and here's my answer....
    Im in my late 50's, I choose the lump sum for several reasons. #1 my age is a definite factor. #2 The taxes... Its better to pay all the taxes up front and not have to deal with them later. #3 With the remaining amount after taxes...
    You invest 1/3 of the remaining balance in annuities and security bonds, give 10% to charity, set aside separate accounts for annual property taxes, fed, state, local taxes, expenses, vacation, an emergency fund, a trust for my beneficiaries and still have plenty left over to purchase a modest home, retire quietly
    And enjoy the remaining time the creator wants me here.
    As far as the taxes go...
    Should you choose the lump sum....
    You are taxed on the lump sum, including state tax in the state where you purchased your ticket and if you live in another state that doesn't have the lottery, you also have to pay your home state income taxes, if your home state has taxes as well for the year you won the lottery. But...
    If you are smart, you'll have a financial attorney set up a trust and an non profit LLC prior to collecting your winnings because that trust and non profit llc will shield your winnings. Additionally you can give away up to $15,000 gift to anyone your choose and its a tax write off. Ive done my homework to prepare😉

  • @davepov
    @davepov Před rokem +279

    Pretty good advice. Here's some I got from an investment professional years ago: Take the lump sum payment. HOWEVER, if you had almost $500 million coming, have $300 million of that go directly to a "Charitable Trust" that you get set up by a professional/attorney. That will NOT be taxed by any entity. Take the other $200 million and pay the taxes on that... a lot less than $500 million. Then, make yourself executor of the Charitable Trust. You could even take some of the interest earned by the trust and pay yourself an annual salary, although that will be taxed. So, you give money from the trust to worthy non-profit organizations that need the support and you live off off more than $100+ million. You're still RICH and you get to do great things for your community. Honestly, if you can't live on $100+ million, there's something wrong with you.

    Personally though I'm 73 now, and needed less than I did when I started play the lottery at the age of 65. I realize that wining any more than a million after taxes is considerably more than I'd ever spend. Thus would give any and all the rest back to the lottery or donate it to one or more legal agencies. Tis ironic, but when my daughter found out of my plan, inregards to my winning a large lottery, stated that if I did what I planned, she'd have me committed. LOL

    I'd take the lump sum. I'm not really saving money by doing annual payments because I'm not interested in investing or making more money. If I win hundreds of millions of dollars I have more than I need. My sole focus would be to first take care of my tax obligations and any debt I may have. Then I would set up my estate and living will and any other legal matters I needed to take care of regarding what happens to my fortune after I die. Once I have all those things taken care of I would donate a portion of my winnings, buy myself a nice house, then live a happy financially free life where I can go wherever I please.

    hid entire mindset is reduce tax liability and never wants to see stop the pies and think that having the massive amount of money he will receive from the lump sum could provide him with opportunity to generate significantly greater returns than he would ever save via tax avoidance
    He also thinks that he somehow is going to reduce his tax liability by about 80% on an annual basis through tax avoidance methodologies that also arent needlessly spending his $$$

      Also, if the name of person collecting the annuity passes away, the contract goes to next of kin, or named person in will, they will have to pay all the taxes on the whole amount left in contract before they collect a dime. It usually takes 5 to 10 years of what was the original amount payed out every year between parties now solely going to federal and state just because it changed hands after the passing of original winner. This guy does not tell you this. Take the lump sum, put a extra 15% away for other taxing entities to come along just in case, plan out the rest with a estate planner for less taxes, and portability to whom you decide in your will.

    Thank you for the informative video. Looking at the situation at a glance, and given my age (50), the lump sum seemed to be the likely choice right now. I’ve been playing the lottery for 32 years, and even back when I was younger, I realized that the annuity was a better option in the long run. Now that I’ve seen this video, it’s given me a new perspective on an annuity payment, even at my age. I’ve always said I’d live to be 100 anyway, so I suppose the annuity option would make sense in that respect. A big factor also is what the jackpot is. If it’s big, given what you said, the annuity makes sense. If it’s small, then I’d probably just do lump sum. 💵💵

      I think the answer depends on the states involved. In some states, if you win as a non-resident you do not pay the taxes there. In others you do. Then your home state may have rules on where the income was from. Some states tax income from other states and some do not. Worst case is you win and have to pay both states income taxes. Best case is you only pay one state's taxes.
      Or you can move now to Texas. We have the lottery and no state income tax at all. You only need to pay the federal income tax on the prize. There are a few other states with no income tax and that have lotteries you could choose from too.

It also depends on the amount you win if you won like 5 million then it doesn't pay to take the annuity. You can take the lump sum and invest most of the money into real estate, stocks, gold or even opening college funds for your children or nieces and nephew.

    But the best strategy is probably to take the lump sum, put it in the bank and don't waste time worrying about "investing" or reducing future taxes. You don't need to invest $268 million dollars. You can put 90% in a trust for future generations and still have more money than you would have earned in 50 lifetimes.

      Most states allow you to name a single beneficiary (some allow multiple) that would continue to receive the payments after you pass. If you need more than one (multiple kids etc) then you can simply set up a trust that the money gets paid into & whom your beneficiaries has access to. Even if you pass without naming a beneficiary or will, the remaining money would actually transfer over to your estate. So if you have family, they would all run to get lawyers & fight for it.

    Managing very large sums of money is far and away from almost everyone's purview. At this point, it is all good wishes. Too many people think once they have a massive amount of wealth they have nothing to worry about. If you have never been there you have absolutely no idea what trouble you can get into. Just thinking about taking a lump sum of money from a lottery is easy. It sounds easy but it is nothing even close to the kind. The first and best thing is you hope your state has a non-disclosure law so you don't become exposed as the winner. You DO NOT go the next day to claim your winnings. Don't do anything stupid. Instead, you take the ticket and photocopy it at home if at all possible. Keep your mouth shut to everyone. If you have a safe-deposit box go to your bank and place the live ticket in the box. If you haven't signed it on the back, I suggest waiting until you take the next set of steps. Next, find the best most expensive tax lawyer and CPA you can find. Next, if you don't have a financial advisor, find one, cost is not an issue. You get what you pay for and you DON'T get what you don't pay for. REMEMBER THAT above everything else. Getting a lump sum is partially based on your age. You need to know how your state requires you to claim the money. If you are able to claim it in a trust and all the bases have been covered, lawyer, CPA accounting firm, and financial planner and advisor, you are close to cashing in. You usually have several weeks to months to claim your winnings. Good luck, you will need it again after having been the one in 300+mil in 1 to have the numbers.

    Thanks for the clarification. Me, I'm an investor. The temptation to spend the lump would be too great and lose it along the way. 12m a year is more than enough after tax. I always heard it would be best to take a lump vs. annuity. I was wrong. I would invest the earnings into business that make money while I sleep, putting that money to work for more money. It would become a generator.

    While in theory, the annuity sounds like a plan, I have my beef with it. First let me say, people who get millions of dollars and go broke are the problem. Your whole life you been living off whatever, and now you blowing through hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s insane. That means nobody ever taught you not to be irresponsible.
    But the important thing is, nobody is promised tomorrow. I’m not just looking out for myself, but my family as well. Getting the lump sum means all the money the lottery owes me I have. With the yearly payment, there’s no guarantee that they’ll honor that if you suddenly die. Not to mention if they hit you with they suddenly don’t have the money. This has literally happened to state lotteries before. They couldn’t pay the people they owed.
    But also, having all that money allowed it to gain interest. How much interest can ten or 100’s of millions gain? A lot I’m betting. I feel more comfortable, as a none idiot, that I wouldn’t blow every cent on cars and homes that I can’t actually afford

    If you're under 55, take the annuity. If you're over 55, take the lump sum.

    In Australia. Lottery winnings are tax free. From $5 right through to $200 million AUD.

    The lump sum is the best option. The reason is if you take the annuity then you only save yourself a 100 million or so roughly at the end. And thats only if the tax rates don't go up. Also, they can always decide to write new laws that protect them from paying you the rest of the money at any point. Take the lump sum, come out either roughly 250 million, and be happy the rest of your life. Also remember.....you only have to pay tax once in a lump sum. They can only tax you on income. So you don't pay taxes on that but year 1. There is no wealth tax.....well just yet. Biden and the democrats tried to implement one in 2021....see what I'm talking about????

      Move half of that to a ui account witch is totally tax free and it is also a compound interest account as well. With that kind of money i could buy my own land charge people 500 a month to stay that pays 80% of your taxes each year and you are not loosing much

      Don't forget that you will still pay taxes on any growth of that money over the years.
      Once you sell stock or whatever, you will be paying taxes on the earnings.
      You'll still be filthy rich though😅

    Great video although I think your missing a huge opportunity by only looking at the tax bill. In this example, Uncle Sam is taking $228M in both cases so the real difference is not the taxes taken out, it’s the $204M lost by selecting the lump sum. ($700 - 496 lump sum payout before taxes = $204M penalty for choosing the lump sum.) Here is what I would do: take the $268M take-home winnings, use $18M for spending money and invest the remaining $250M. What person / financial advisor can’t take $250M and double it in 30 years with regular stock market returns? Anything over doubling is more money…over a 30 year timeframe! To diversify and reduce tax bill further, put some in tax sheltered fixed income investments. If your savvy enough or have the time to learn cryptocurrency, (and you should because your not working), you could double your money in a couple years. Not investing advice, I’m not a financial advisor. No question, lump sum for me!

      You only get 5% interest when you choose annuity but you are still giving up 200 million when you get the lump sum your right if you can invest the 250 million and double it than you come out ahead but if you just want to loaf around and do your thing and not work at all because investing is work a little bit anyway than you are better off with the annuity it depends on what you want to do with your life at my age i would take the lump sum and live it up and help people who are dying and dont have the money for the medical care for medical treatment and donate to a good cause some money but not 10s of millions

    For those that don't know, a percentage of the lottery winnings is set aside for schools and many school districts rely on this additional funding. The taxed lottery winnings are distributed between the various counties and then distributed to the schools within those counties.

      But why are they waiting for somebody to win it first,and then taxing the winner in the name of funding schools and districts etc?.why don't they just ask ahead government who seems to be splashing cash on Ukraine but humiliatingly allowing lotteries to do their jobs for them?

    Did you adjust for inflation on annuity vs the money you can invest having a lump sum?

  • @GD-tn3ez
    @GD-tn3ez Před 2 lety +4

    Take the lump, invest 150 million (intelligently) averaging 8% returns and let it compound. Then spend, save, and give the reminder. I remember several years ago Illinois was writing IOUs to lottery winners because the state was insolvent. Try writing IOUs to the state when they want your money and see what happens. I trust the market more than I trust state or federal government. It’s an obvious choice for me.

    Lump sum, more so to simplify the process (risk of annual payment not going through, lost in mail, etc…) as well as optimize as I see fit. Invest all post taxes, & operate using dividends from assets.

    Take $100m and buy 55,500 shares in AT&T which pays a quarterly dividend of about $2/share. The stock is pretty consistent. I would live off of the $111k/quarter dividend.
