Cash vs. Annuity
The advertised Jackpot/Grand Prize 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 Group Rules. Annuity payments are paid pursuant to Powerball Group Rules and New Mexico State Law.
The Jackpot shall be divided equally among winning Jackpot plays. Each Jackpot Prize share that has a cash value of $2,000,000 or less is paid in a single payment. Any Jackpot Prize not won will be added to the next drawing’s Jackpot Prize.
Please Note
- Jackpot/Grand Prize is estimated and will be divided equally among all winning tickets.
- All set prizes, including Power Play prizes, may be reduced if claims exceed available prize fund and may become pari-mutuel.
- NOTE: The advertised jackpot is an estimate of the actual Jackpot and is pari-mutuel. Some or all of the preset prizes may become pari-mutuel under certain circumstances as defined in the Powerball Group Rules.
