If you win the Powerball tonight, will you take the lump sum or the annuity?

What will you do first, what will be your first big purchase?

The lump sum. I'm not going to live long enough to spend the annuity, and I have no one to leave it to.

Same. I do have a son to leave the money to, but I'd still rather take the lump sum, and decide now how to leave it to him.
