I'm not 100% sure, but it may not work that way. They may tax you in the state you won it in for each payment since you were a resident of that state when you won it. Even if they did I agree with you. I would take the payments. You get twice as much money in the long run and the odds of you fucking your life up with it are a lot slimmer.
