Why is the lump sum less than the jackpot?

If you choose the lump sum rather than the extended payout, you will get much less money than the advertised jackpot value. If you choose the extended payout, the state takes the present cash value of the jackpot and buys an annuity or bonds that will generate interest to fund the future payments.
