Powerball Cash and Annuity Payouts

Powerball jackpot winners can choose to take a lump sum of money or an annuity.  

• Cash Option: A lump sum is paid as a one-time payment, but taxes (both federal and state) will be withheld from the winnings. For an estimated jackpot of $438 million, the estimated cash value is around $205 million (before taxes).
• Annuity Option: An annuity pays the entire jackpot value in 30 payments over 29 years. Each payment increases by about 5% a year to combat inflation.

Deciding between either of these options ultimately comes down to a player’s financial goals. Majority of winners claim a lump sum of money due to the potential for larger investments, and/or because the annuity option would provide a little more long-term monetary security for the winner.
