Full List Of Powerball Payouts Per State For $1.4 Billion Jackpot In Saturday’s Drawing
People around the country are caught up in Powerball lottery fever, and with a jackpot of $1.4 billion for Wednesday’s drawing, that isn’t surprising. Even though much less money than what is in the jackpot would change the lives of a lot of people, many don’t realize that they won’t get the full amount if they win. Due to taxes, ways of taking the money, and how many people may win, there are different payouts in each state and here are all of them.
The chances of winning the Powerball jackpot are just 1 in 292.2 million, and that means you would have to match all five numbers as well as the Powerball. Matching just five numbers would nab you $1 million, and your chances increase greatly at 1 in 11.68 million, according to Powerball.com.
Throughout the states that the Powerball is played in, your way of getting paid, if you should win, is different everywhere. Winners have the option of taking a lump sum payout at the very start, but there is also the option to take annuity payments each year for 30 years.
USA Mega, via KPLC, has put together a full list of the Powerball jackpot payouts per state and how they can vary depending on where you purchase/cash your ticket. It’s rather amazing just how much the amounts can differ, but none of them are bad.
