[quote name=\'weaklink75\' post=\'199632\' date=\'Oct 14 2008, 10:05 PM\']I watched the credits, and they had a disclaimer that said they can take the prize in one of two ways- the full million as a 20-year annuity, or a one-time payment of $660,000 (the present value of the annuity)- still, even if you took the one-time payment and paid off your Uncle Sam, it's still over a little over $300,000- a nice chunk of change [/quote]

Yes.
