If you won the lotto for $315 mill, would you take one lump sum, or payments spread out over time?

I'd probably take the lump sum and invest it.. the payments over time stay the same and will be worth less and less as inflation goes up. The only downside to the lump sum is that it's like 30% less than what you'd end up with after receiving all of the payments.
