Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is the $1,000,000 that Adam just won paid out in a lump sum or an annuity?

After the government took its cut, he was left with about 45% of his total winnings.... harsh

From what he told me after the show - it's a lump sum.

At least it isn't like Syndie Millionaire, I read somewhere that anything over 250k is paid out in installments, and the million is paid out over 40 years
Geeze, you better be a 30 something or younger to able to live to see the money!
:D

Hmmm...I think $550,000 is still pretty good. You can buy a nice one-bedroom house in California for that amount. :-)

Lump sum.

NOPE that called a old fashioned rip-off. Thank You United States Government. For taking a huge sum of CASH from a worthy guy who busted his A off for making it far on a unexpected Million Dollar Spectacular to win at last the million bucks.
I would just say this to u government in the good old words from Jim Rome: BRRRRAAUUUUGGGHHHHH!
If Mexico had their own version of the MDS. Trust me he would get all of that huge sum of cash without interest...

I'm not trying to degrade anyone here, but winning $1M for guessing the price of a prize (basically, a 1 in 30 shot on an MDS for people with only general pricing knowledge), I wouldn't say he "busted his ass to get $1M."
It takes me about 20 years to do what he did in 20 minutes.
