which one would you choose. why? what would you do with it?
personally i would choose the month thing. i could live well on that. my kids would have what they needed the bills would be paid. i would be happy with that. we could still get some wants too.
would you want it all at once though? if you did what would you do with it?
if you want the month would you still work? would it be enough for you to be happy?

I would have to go for the monthly. I would blow through the 4 mil in no time. I would still work with the monthly, cuz 2500 would pay bills, but i wouldnt ahve enough to play..lol so i would at least work part time and use the work money for play money.

I would take the 4 million. I'm 57, almost 58, the monthly thing would not be for that many years
I would buy a house for my wife, and maybe a new car for me, then put most of the money in different trust funds for my wife and my daughter so that they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Some of it I would give to missions that feed and house the homeless

I still would take the monthly thing, but if I would be a certain higher age, I would opt for the lump sum. That'll give the kids something to inherit, lol. Otherwise it would be lost, because you cannot inherit the monthly payment kind of payout.

Our bills and expenses come to more than $2,500 each month so I would take the $4 mil so that I could stop working and so that my husband and I could travel. With that kind of money we could set all of our kids in nice homes, set up trust funds for the grandchildren, help our siblings financially and be able to travel. In all honesty though I never play the lottery because I'm afraid that I might win and suddenly having a lot of money is hard on people. My husband and I are content with our life as it is right now and I really don't wish for anything to change.

I would like to have the 4 Million all at once. I would pay taxes and tithe. I would buy and nice new home and furniture and a car. Donate some to charities and invest. It would last for the rest of my life and my childrens lives.
With the proper planning and not going hog wild witht he spending I would be able to so many others.
Yes I would work I would open my own Ice Cream Truck Company. It has been a dream of mine for a long long time.

I would choose the 2500 a month as it would be taxed less than the 4 million and I'd spend it at a more reasonable rate. Also could possibly end up making more than the 4 million if i lived long enough or could transfer the 2500 payment to a heir/heiress.
I'd still work but I'd use the money for a down payment on a house a car etc to make life more stable or even trips to see family and friends or travel.

I'd take the $2500.00, I'm only 17 and in my life time that would add up to way more than $4,000,000..,Plus knowing me I'd probably blow the 4 mill in no time:)
