Background

Powerball is a multi-state lottery game administered by the Multi-State Lottery Association and offered in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held three times per week - Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday - with jackpots starting at $20 million and rolling over when no ticket matches all six numbers. Jackpot totals grow through accumulated ticket sales across participating jurisdictions. Winners who claim the lump-sum cash option receive a payout substantially below the advertised annuity value, and federal and state taxes reduce the final amount further.
