    Cash payout is $576 or about that much, the long term payout is done by annuity for the full amount. The first check is reduced and then there is 29 years of a fixed but full amount.

    Any idea what happens if the winner dies before the payout is complete?

    When I win, there will be a few subtle changes made to a few Flying J's that you will probably notice.

    As to the OP, I like trucking. And why would you want to be in a "fragile" relationship anyway?

    Will there be a yellow corn dog road leading to the hot case that is reserved for Dave only? Fresh ones coming out every 15 minutes 24/7, and may not be sold to public until they are at least 15 minutes old and new ones have arrived.

    Those locations that refuse to comply........

    Uncle can take 90% and I'd still be happy.

    Before any of the changes go into effect, there will be a suggestion box at those locations.

    Goes to the estate.

    When you are talking about this amount of money, it isn't just handing over a check and telling them 'see ya'.

    The state has some program to help a winner out, like wealth management people, lawyers and so on.
