The biggest mistake lottery winners make

Dig into the pros and cons of annuity and lump sum lottery payouts, and find out the most common mistakes lottery winners make. -- After winning the lottery, one of the first decisions you’d have to make is how you want your winnings to be paid out.

Explore the financial implications of annuity and lump sum payments. Directed by Anton Bogaty.
