For the second time this year, he won the jackpot Arsenal has surpassed $500 million, after raising the jackpot to $546 million for Wednesday’s drawing.
The winning numbers in Monday’s draw were: 15, 26, 31, 38 and 62, in addition to the red ball 3.
If you are lucky enough to win, the amount you get for the house will most likely be much less. It depends on two factors: the type of payment you choose and the state you live in.
For payment, you have two options: a lump sum paid immediately or an annuity spread over 30 years. In the case of the current prize of $522 million, the one-time cash payment would be $269.6 million.
The jackpot went up after there were no tickets matching all six numbers drawn Saturday night: 4, 17, 35, 49, 61 and 8 in Powerball.
But although the ticket does not contain all six numbers, 28 tickets match four of the five white balls and the red power ball. Of these, 22 won prizes of $50,000 and six tickets (sold out in Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Virginia, and two in Texas) increased the prize pool from $50,000 to $100,000 by including a Power Play option.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.
Which is better? Cash or income?
With the annuity option, you will receive the full amount of the jackpot.
With a lump sum payment, you will receive 52% of the jackpot amount, lottery website usamega.com calculates.
Many winners choose the lump sum option where the money can be reinvested immediately, although it is less money overall.

Moreover, you also have to pay taxes. While state taxes vary, all winners pay a 24% federal withholding tax upfront on winnings.
However, you’ll likely owe another 13%, as 37% is the highest tax bracket for individual taxpayers making more than $578,125 in 2023.
Which states have the highest taxes on lottery prizes?
There are only eight states that do not impose state taxes on lottery winnings, which means they offer the highest payout:
- California
- fl
- New Hampshire
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Washington
- Wyoming
Residents of these states will take home the most after taxes.
For the annuity option it is $231,691,350 and for the lump sum option it is $119,107,045. In other states and territories, winners are subject to additional state taxes ranging from 2.9% to 10.9%.
States with the lowest taxes on lottery prizes
Here are the five places with the highest possible tax rates on lottery winnings, according to usamega.com:
- New York: 10.9%
- New Jersey: 10.75%
- Washington, D.C.: 10.75%
- Oregon: 9.9%
- Minnesota: 9.85%
The New York lottery winner will pay more in taxes. For a $366 million jackpot, that comes to $191,797,350 for an annual payout and $98,506,045 for a lump sum.
That’s tens of millions of dollars less than what state lottery winners would get tax-exempt.
Depending on where you live in New York State, you may owe more. If you live in New York City, you’ll pay an additional 3.876% tax withholding. If you live in Yonkers, you will pay an additional withholding rate of 1.477%.
