Winner of the $1.26 billion Mega Millions jackpot will need tax attorney, therapist
Briefly

"The identity of the winner... wasn't immediately known. While most lottery grand prize winners typically chose the cash payout, which in this case will be about $571.9 million..."
"Liebman's first advice was to build strong relationships with four different advisers: a wealth adviser, a tax accountant, an estate attorney and a therapist before making any decision about payout."
"The annuity typically is a bigger payout... If the winner is young and healthy, it's probably a better option, he advised."
"If you accept the lump sum, you get all the money at one time... you're paying tax at a time where the effective tax rate is the lowest in a generation."
