EuroMillions Cash vs Annuity Option

For the jackpot winner of EuroMillions, a cash payment or annuity is provided: 

• Cash Option: The winner would receive an up-front lump sum approximately equal to the jackpot amount (except for a slight discount) 
• Annuity Option: The jackpot total is paid in annual installments (over a period of 10–30 years depending on the specific laws and regulations for each country). 

Many winners opt for the cash payment because of flexibility, while some prefer the "security" of an annuity payment system because they are "in/with" gradually over a span of time.
