She won, and had the choice between taking a C$1m ($780,000) lump sum or earning $1,000 a week for life. After consulting with a financial adviser, the young winner opted for the $1,000 annuity because it is not taxed.

It depends on age (and mentality) of the person. Personally I'd take lump sum and invest. Always wanted to have properties
