If someone wins the jackpot, they can receive $1.3 billion over 30 years or a one-time payment of more than half a billion dollars.
Both are before taxes.
The odds of winning are one in 292 million.
If a player wins Wednesday’s jackpot, they will have the choice between an annuitized prize estimated at $1.30 billion or a lump sum payment estimated at $589.0 million.
Both prize options are before taxes. If the winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5 percent each year.
Powerball tickets are $2 per play.
