    What is the Tax-Deferred Option?

With our Tax-Deferred Option, you could increase your wealth and set yourself up for a better financial future.

      1

      Set Your Payment Schedule

      If you’re receiving your lottery payments in increments but want to change your disbursement schedule, the Tax-Deferred Option is your ticket to endless mix-and-match payment schedules. You’ll get more flexibility in how often and how long you receive your money, as well as how much you receive with each payment. Maybe you’d like smaller payments, more often, for a longer time—or larger payments, less often, for a shorter time. The choice is all yours!*

      Extend your payments

      Worried about what you’ll do when your jackpot runs out? That’s where the Tax-Deferred Option comes in. With this program, you can extend your payments for a period of up to 30 years. That’s 30 years of steady income, keeping your finances stable and ensuring regular income for yourself and your family. If you’re looking for a reliable source of income for a longer period, extending your lottery payments is the solution for you.**

      Maximize your wealth

      Your lottery prize changed your life, but you can make your winnings worth more with the Tax-Deferred Option. The longer you extend your payments, the larger the returns on your invested lottery winnings grow. At the end of your disbursement period, you could receive a lump sum of your investment earnings—meaning overall, you’ll potentially earn more than double the amount of your original prize!

    Lump sum or Tax-Deferred Option—which is right for me?

     

    If you’re in need of cash now, not later, then selling some or all of your lottery annuity payments can help you stay afloat.

     

    But if you’re looking to grow your wealth, change your disbursement schedule to fit your needs, or get steady payments over a longer period, the Tax-Deferred Option is for you.

     

    Whether you want your money now or whether you want to make your payments worth more later is up to you—you know your needs best. Fortunately, we can help with both. Call us today to learn more about your options and make the right decision for your lottery payments!

    FAQs

      Selling your lottery payments to JG Wentworth in exchange for a lump sum is a straightforward process.

       

      You’ll start out by calling us to hear a quote. As with all our annuity sales transactions, there are zero hidden fees; the amount you’re quoted is the amount you’ll receive. If you like what you hear, you’ll accept your offer and return a signed contract to us. From there, we’ll take care of all the paperwork on your behalf.

       

      Because the transferal of the rights to your lottery payments is a legal transaction, you will have to attend a court date, which we’ll set up for you. If the thought of that scares you, don’t worry—we coach all our customers on what to expect! Gaining a judge’s approval is designed to protect consumers like you from predatory purchasers, so this step of the process is for your benefit.

       

      Then, after you gain court approval, we’ll send your lump sum to you. We can send a check or a wire transfer—whatever works best for you. It’s as simple as that!

      You can sell all your payments for a big lump sum, but you do not have to sell every payment to receive a lump sum. Depending on how much cash you need, you could opt to sell just a portion of your payments. Our representatives will work with you personally to review your circumstances and make a plan that best meets your needs.

      “Tax-deferred” means that you do not have to pay taxes on your investments’ growth until you receive the profits as a payment of liquid cash. In the case of the JGW Tax-Deferred Option for your lottery payments, any growth in your account will not be taxed until you receive your lump sum at the end of your payment period.

       

      Tax-deferred accounts are beneficial to people who are looking to grow their wealth without paying expensive income taxes year-to-year. Keeping your total yearly income down means keeping yourself in a lower tax bracket and, in turn, paying less in taxes each year.

      We understand that your life circumstances can change in a short period of time—so yes, you may change your disbursement schedule after you’ve signed up for the Tax-Deferred Option. However, you cannot change your schedule within the first year of being enrolled, and every time you change your disbursement schedule, you’ll be required to pay an administrative fee to JG Wentworth.
