WHAT HAPPENS IF I WIN:
Annuity option: The Mega Millions annuity is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. Each payment is 5% bigger than the previous one. This helps protect winners’ lifestyles and purchasing power in periods of inflation.

Cash option: A one-time, lump-sum payment that is equal to all the cash in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool. Minus taxes, of course.
