I might just take the annuity option as long as I can pass it to my children.

I'd have to do a little math first.

When you calculate the effects of inflation, those dollars paid in the out years are going to be more like nickels. Far better to take it up front and immediately invest in income-producing assets, the value of which will grow with inflation.

Put it in a Trust. More control, less taxes and liability.

Annuity is a terrible scam. The payout is non-equal. Late payments are much larger than early payments.

The hope obviously being that you die during the payment period. Yes, they hope you die before collecting all your winnings.

I don’t trust politicians. They change the tax code too much.

I’d take the lump sum payout.
