Lump sum, pay the taxes, invest.
After taxes, should have 25-30 million. Myself and my descendants should enjoy over $600K/yr investment income in perpetuity (assuming a minimal 2.5% return), without ever touching the principal; probably even growing the principal.
If we assume 5% return like the OP does, we're looking at over $1.3 million per year in perpetuity.

@ElwoodBlues Do you realize how much money $25,000,000 really is? Suppose you did absolutely nothing with it but put in in a room as cash. You could withdraw $62,500 every month for 400 months, or 33 years and 4 months. That is $750,000 a year for 33 years with $250,000 left over. Remember, that would be pure cash with no taxes.
You won't be able to afford a big yacht or a private jet but you certainly won't starve to death or be homeless.

Take the payments IF the balance goes to your estate. Tip: see an attorney about a will/estate planning.

@Crazywaterspring Depending on your age and how many beneficiaries you want to have you could do one of several things.
1. Suppose you have two kids. You could put them on your payroll as administrative assistants at $15,000 a month for 10 years (the required 40 quarters) to supplement their own job incomes. That will avoid the gift tax. And you could hire a payroll company to write the checks and take care of the details. It will also increase their ultimate Social Security payouts. That would still leave you $32,500 a month as your own.
So, at the end of 10 years each kid would have received a total of $1,800,000 as income or $3,600,000 total for both out of your $25,000,000. At the budgeted withdrawal of $750,000 a year you would still have $17,500,000 on hand.

@Imsleepy If you had $25,000,000 cash, what would you do with it?
