Winning the jackpot

You hit the jackpot? Firstly, Please accept congratulations! Be prepared for that, what the lottery organizers will ask you to choose, how do you want to collect your prize?. You can get it in installments - in monthly payments over 25-30 years or immediately (in one payment). Is it true, in the second case the amount, which you will receive in your hands, will be noticeably less - with a prize $343 million it will be approximately $233,3 million (before taxes). Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. In any case, we strongly recommend that you consult with a financial professional before making a decision..

But to win the jackpot, you need to buy a ticket first. You can do this on the Powerball page on goLotter.com.

Powerball Lottery Prizes

Powerball jackpots start from approx. $20 million and can grow indefinitely. It was the absence of a “ceiling” that allowed the lottery to be played in November 2022 monster jackpot 2,04 billion dollars and set a world record.

If you win the jackpot you will have 2 variant of the received prize: you can take it back in a lump sum - in this case, the amount paid to you («Cash Value») there will be less, than the announced jackpot, – or 30 annual payments - in this case you will receive the declared amount in full. The above applies only to the main prize. Winnings in all other prize categories are paid out in one payment.

But Powerball is more than nine- and even ten-digit jackpots. You don't have to win first prize, to become a millionaire. 5 guessed main numbers (without measure "Powerball") will bring you a second category prize in $1 million.
