Should You Take The Cash Payment If You Win Powerball?

The Powerball jackpot has now grown to $1.5-billion dollars after not having been won for months. The cash option for Saturday night's drawing is up to 745-point-nine-million dollars. The question is, if you won would you take the cash option or the annuity? The annuity gets handed out over 29 years and financial experts say you should take it. The biggest reason, they say, is so you don’t blow it all like many lottery winners do. The payments would be about $52-million a year.
