Lump sum. ~$375 million after taxes (in Texas) Market could crash also and devalue your investment by 98% + also. One constant in US history is taxes and Federal government as Fed survived the Great Depression Kind of like a 401k. In theory the constant investing, levels out market swings.

I know, I know, not this year, but historically, that's where it's always been and always will be. The rule of 72 says that at that 10% rate of return your money doubles every 7 years. Take the lump sum and don't be a complete and utter moron and you'll do WAY better than the 30 year payout. That's what I plan to do after I win tonight.
