a poll about annuities and lump sumReply
Floridian, you took the age comment completely wrong! An annuity is often a good way to protect yourself from losing everything should you become ill. However, if someone continues to receive payments as income from a lottery, I don't think that money is protected because it is income. You are actually receiving the interest only on an investment.

Are Lotteries RiggedReply
Well, where should I start? I believe that, for the most part, state-run lotteries are honest games but, like any other industry that generates hundreds of millions of dollars, they're subject to an element of deception, fraud and corruption. I live in Indiana (not on purpose; my wife is from here), and I've played almost every online game they offer at one time or another. I bought an expensive Pick-4 system last year and used it religiously every day for several months, without a single hit.
