Assuming you don't have six kids, you won't receive all of the grants with that kind of lump sum. As far as I know (unless it's been changed) the maximum grant is $1000 per year, per child.
Our son is 6 mo old and I would rather get the compounding interest of the $30K over the next 17 years and give up some of the grant money.
