"21 yearly payments of almost $477,300 each"
or
$6 million pre-tax lump sum payment

at 78 years what do i do??

Im not sure but in California I think its a rule if you win the lotto and take the payment and than die, the payments than stop.(not 100% sure but I think thats the rule)

Now, this is what you call "unreal".

[Tsoprano]

Unreal is right.

i liked the part i read where one of his sons said something like "i know my dad would be happy for mom, but he is probably saying 'just my luck'.

You never take the payments, allways the cash sum

Can the lottery agency order a hit on you if you chose annual payments since you don't collect when you die?

Unreal, always old people that win the big lotto payoouts. There used to be a lot of states that retained the cash on death but I think most if not all have been changed. They want to keep the interest free loan versus paying the lump sums.
