$800 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot approaches billion-dollar rangeReply
Im hoping for one ticket, max two ticket winners. At being split in two each would have an annuity at $400,000,000 plus $248,000,000 for cash option puts you at #10 for annuity and #8 for cash option if you count it as jackpots. Both players would would be mad it got split but realize they are still in top 10 for both is still awesome. single winnner has me like and want it to be me

So can we all agree that winning a $500 million annuity makes someone a half-billionaire? Yes or no?

60 days to decide if lump sum or annuity, 180 days to claim. Huh?Reply

Are you ready for the attention?Reply
The only way one could become a billionaire by winning the lottery is if the jackpot exceeded $4 billion! through a series of unlikely events. There, I fixed it for you.

Making the annuity option more attractive?Reply
Hardly anyone ever takes the annuity option on the PB (see winners stories link on the PB site). Clearly the PB still advertises the annuity value only for the publicity value of huge numbers.
