$1.58billion Mega Millions lottery winner has fortnight to claim cash option

The $1.58 billion Mega Millions jackpot winner from Florida only has two weeks left to claim their prize in cash, so time is running out. There isn't much time left to choose the $1.58 billion lump sum payout option of the August Mega Millions jackpot. Unless the jackpot winner intends to choose the annuity option, they should double verify the cash option's claims deadline.

What an incredible amount of money to potentially receive. I couldn't imagine having to decide how to accept a jackpot of that size. The tax implications alone must be overwhelming to think about. Whoever won, I'm sure they'll put a lot of thought into this important decision.

Some people will buy ticket and fail to keep it safe or out of careless will not remember they played a game. Probably, the winner may be in financial difficulties now. What a terrible irony. To lose such a huge amount can make someone to commit suicide.

Tough decision here. But I wouldn't drag too much if it were me. I would just close my eyes and take the lump sum no matter the tax implications. The lump sum after tax could be used to fix up yourself unlike annuity that inflation would be dealing with it every year.
