Officials confirm Tennessee couple won historic Powerball
John Robinson said he reached out to his brother for help assembling a team of lawyers and financial planners before deciding to take the winnings in a single lump sum of nearly $328 million, rather than let the Lottery invest the prize and pay him 30 annual installments totaling an estimated $533 million.
Why pass up on a certain income totaling more than $200 million?
"We're going to take the lump sum, because we're not guaranteed tomorrow," Robinson said. "We just wanted a little big piece of the pie. Now we're real grateful we got the big piece of the pie."
Note, too, that they indicate no plans to donate it all to the world's worst off people, which could reasonably be expected to do the greatest good for the greatest number, as the liberal celebrity faker Peter Singer claims and recommends.
No word of consulting with experts about any charitable or altruistic volleys, at all.
