The Annuity is a public facing fudgable number. We like to analyze the cash value. Cash Is King and really tells the story.

$1.8 BILLION: Powerball jackpot now second-largest ever as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
Been a blast folks! See you probably at thanksgiving when we all reconvene for the next billion dollar PB jackpot ......if not sooner should Mega Millions go thru the roof. I might abstain from MM until the annuity reaches 500 mil and then proceed to purchase one ticket ..... I dunno.

I don't look at the worksheets enough to notice usually but they increased the annuity and the estimated sales but the cash is still listed the same as before at $498. Any idea why?

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply

Powerball reaches $643 million: highest lottery jackpot of 2025Reply
We should get one now...lol We don't really need one, because the text will be mostly the same, and there will be just a minor revision to the list. With 3 days for sales it's very unlikely we'll see any update to the advertised jackpot until around noon tomorrow, but I'll revise the list based on an even billion. Assuming the interest rate doesn't change the cash value of $451.5 would be #18, about $1 million ahead of the current #18. For any cheerleaders that think the annuity matter
