If you win the Powerball lottery, don't take the payment in a lump sum
The Powerball lottery jackpot has reached $700 million, the second-highest in US history. If there's a winner or winners in Wednesday's drawing, they will be given a choice of how to take the money: either as an annuity or a lump sum.

After his wife’s death, he began sharing a bed with his daughter. Nothing inappropriate goes on, but the girl cannot - or will not - sleep alone. This means that he and I can only be intimate when she is not home. We’ve talked about this issue as an impediment to getting married. For many reasons, I refuse to sleep in the bed with him and his daughter, as he’s asked me to do. I

Speaking on the latest edition of his GQ series “The Resistance” on Tuesday, Olbermann, a former MSNBC host, said he believed that Trump would call it quits when special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into his campaign’s links to Russia grow too close for comfort.
