Jackpot Prize The Powerball jackpot prize starts at $40 million and rolls, based on sales, by a minimum of $10 million each drawing until it is won. The advertised Powerball jackpot represents an estimate of the annuity amount, which is paid in 30 graduated annual installments that will increase by 4 percent each year by a percentage set out in the Powerball game directive. The first installment is paid at the time the prize is claimed. Winners also have the option to take a one-time lump sum payment equal to the cash value of the jackpot prize pool. The cash value represents the amount of money the Lottery would have invested to provide the 30-installment annuity option. Visit Powerball's Web site for the cash value of the current jackpot. Jackpot prizes will be available for payment after the 15th calendar day following the drawing, and winners have 60 days from the date of claim to decide on a payment option. Jackpot prizes are pari-mutuel and are divided equally among all jackpot-winning tickets. All prize payments are subject to federal and state tax withholding as required by law. THE DRAWING Powerball drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday. Make sure you buy your tickets for each Powerball drawing by 9 p.m. on the day of the drawing.
