You could also look at it this way.
Let's say the lump sum is 100 million after taxes. You can put that all in the bank and assume you only have 1% interest. You would make $1 million after a year.
Now if you took the annuity and lets say you only receive 10 million a year for 30 years. You put that 10 million in the bank at the same interest rate you would only make $100k.
And that is how the rich get richer. Plus you have more investment options if you take the lump sum.

I wanna win one of these and just go nomad for a year. Travel the world in rags and my black and red air Jordan 1's playing like a homeless man getting to know people who actually go out there way to help me. If they're living life in an honest fashion and trying their best to make it in this crazy world, I'll leave them with a nice check. $10,000 here, 10,000 there. Find about 15-20 good hearted people.
After that, I'm buying a mountain of cocaine and sledding down it in the middle of July!
