Cash vs. Annuity
The advertised jackpot is an estimated amount which is paid as an annuity of 30 payments over 29 years or, at the election of the winner, in a single lump sum payment of the cash value of the annuity prize (subject to State and Federal taxes).
If the winner chooses the annuity, the annual payments will be increased each
year by a percentage set out in the Powerball game rules. Annuity payments are
guaranteed upon death to a designated beneficiary or trust.
