Powerball jackpot winners have two options:

• Receive the jackpot in full, as an annuity payment spread over 30 annual installments that grow each year.

• Claim the lump-sum “cash option”, which is smaller but paid all at once.

It’s important to note that winnings are pre-tax amounts.

What other Powerball prizes can you win?

While the jackpot often captures the headlines, there are also numerous smaller prizes. Secondary prizes range from $4 to $1 million or more, depending on how many winning numbers a ticket can match. Players who add the Power Play option can multiply the size of non-jackpot prizes.
