$1.7 BILLION: Will Powerball create a Christmas billionaire?Reply
If they gave me the 92M minus the 4, I will gladly take it and run like crazy However, your point is very valid, most players get hyped with the annuity and forgot to look at the lump sum value which they would mostly take. I am glad where I live there is no state tax on the lottery.

$1.5 BILLION: Massive Powerball jackpot fuels rush for ticketsReply
That is incorrect. The cash option is not a calculation, it is a direct estimate based on actual + estimated remaining sales. The cash value going up means more tickets were sold to this point than were anticipated to be sold at this point. The annuity certainly changed too, based on the updated cash amount, but likely not enough to change a 1.xx billion precision format.

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
Yes, that would be much simpler and fairer. Taxes should be built into the price of the ticket, although I understand each state has different taxes and you wouldn't have a flat ticket price. Let's be honest, unless you take the actual cash and stuff it in a mattress, the winnings will be spent or invested and thus taxed at every stage - profits, dividends, interest, stamp duties, sales taxes etc etc etc. Here in Australia our Powerball jackpots are obviously much lower given our population

PowerballReply
Well, well, the annuity has crossed the 1 Billion mark. This time around am sticking with one or two tickets, the most would be three. The lottery lawyer said that most winners have one or two lines Good luck to all.

New Millionaire for Life multi-state game coming in 2026Reply
What are your thoughts if two people win the jackpot - do you think that at 500K a year it's still worth it? I definitely like the 1M a year prize at the given odds. LFL currently has a 20 year guaranteed payment if you opt for the annuity.

$575 M Annuity / $264.6 M Cash Uh-boy, In its 15th week and nowhere near a billion. Powerball breaks the Billion Dollar Barrier by its 13th week on average.
