I would take the money right then and there, and i would spend it wisely, i would make wise investments and i would put me a big nest egg in the bank and not spend all my money over the years and have nothing left. if i had that kinda money it would last me forever becasue i would make wise choices with it .. and i would still bargain shop and use coupons .. happy mylotting

I think i will take the million and invest it to make the 70.000/year for 18 years :) and put something away just in case the investment doesnt go that well. i would not mind either if i had the 70.000/year either :D it is a great deal of money (at leats for me) to have a nice life :)

I would take the 70,000 over a period of 18 years. I would feel more comfortable knowing that I had that much coming each year for 18 years than to have a one-time payment that may or may not be there in a year. Besides, if you do the math, you are actually getting a larger amount by taking the 18 year deal.
