Hard Cash vs Asset Worth

[Infoproliferati]

2 people are the winners of the Mega Millions Jan 4th drawing. Jackpot = $380,000,000. Minus taxes they'll be walking away with roughly 100Mill a piece, that's if they decide on the one time lump sum payment. Whoa!!!

I'd rather have that 100mill in hard cash than 300 or even 500mill all tied up in assets. Would you rather be worth a million with a majority of your worth in investments? Or would you rather have 500,000 in cash?

The cash is almost always the best option, especially on the larger sums.
