There hasn’t been a Powerball jackpot winner since March 25 when one lucky ticket holder in Teaneck, New Jersey, matched all six numbers (7, 19, 23, 50, 54 PB 14). The Asbury Press reports that the winner has yet to come forward to claim the $40 million grand prize — hopefully they didn’t lose their ticket like this guy did.
Just four days before the winning ticket was sold in New Jersey, a single ticket sold in Harriman, Tennessee, matched all six numbers in the March 21 drawing. WRCB-TV reports that the winner will be able to claim a lump-sum of $33.5 million (before taxes) when they come forward.

How much will you take home if you are Saturday night’s Powerball winner? According to US Mega, that depends on the method of payment you choose. For those who prefer an annuity, the lottery will send you 30 yearly checks of approximately $1.5 million each. The first payment is made several weeks after you turn in your ticket at a local lottery office.
Prefer all of your money right away? The lump sum option for the $60 million jackpot on April 4 would be approximately $40.1 million before taxes. That’s not a bad return on investment for a $2 ticket.
Powerball numbers are drawn at 11 p.m. ET every Wednesday and Saturday. Ticket are sold at lottery retailers in 44 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
