(NewsNation) — Winning numbers for a Powerball jackpot of rare proportions were selected late Saturday: 3, 18, 22, 27, 33 and Powerball 17.
It was only the sixth time in the history of Powerball that a jackpot reached $1 billion ahead of its drawing. The Power Play multiplier for non-jackpot prizes was 3.
Powerball jackpot after-tax amount
If you take the one-time cash option, it's worth around $453.1 million before taxes. Once Uncle Sam gets involved, that drops to $330.8 million. But that’s still not the take-home pay. The state where the winning ticket is bought will also tax it.
Only nine states don't have additional lottery tax: California, Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
