You could theoretically get 5% on that yearly, which is about 24 mil.

I'm thinking that the money would be so large in either instance that even managing the annuity payment yourself would be a full time job. You have to hire someone to manage that money either way to at least live some semblance of a life. Taking an annuity payment in this instance because you can't put your trust in someone will quickly be rethought over once tax season comes around.
