The lump sum option let's you take home the money that the lottery commission directly collected from ticket sales for THAT lottery, less operating costs and payouts to stakeholder programs like teachers funds. Had they made one, much smaller, payment to you the balance would've been invested in high yield stocks and bonds to net them significantly more profit which would've paid you out over time.
Instead, investing the money you collected to get the full $2B is on you. As it is income, you are still subject to federal income tax, and GOOD NEWS, the rich get taxed up to 38%. So ALLLLLLLLL that money you don't get, goes to federal aide programs like highways, military, parks, Medicare, etc.

Your diet confuses and frightens me sir.

Gold is what the gods used to seal up the gremlins and evil spirits. Put into Earth, buried to protect the worlds for all of time. (Humans) "oooh, pretty". (Elder Gods) "I wanna tell them, but part of me wants to watch and see how it turns out... for lolz."

This is how the world SHOULD be. Though required. ... (sigh) ... and then thet changed math...

This too is uncorrect.

Guess I'm gonna wait on the steps of Congress on Jan 6th, 2025 and see who else shows up.
