Take your name (if that's your actual name) and your location out of your profile?

Best answer: Take the lump-sum payout. Set up an annuity. Live off the interest.

Give it all to Oxfam. Or, hire an army of mercenaries and rule Burkina Faso.

What were you doing in Indiana, by the way? That's where the winning ticket was purchased.

Send me $100,000. You'll never miss it, and I'll send you a nice card every year.
