What are the Powerball and Mega Millions payout options?

A Powerball jackpot winner may cull to receive their prize in thirty payments over 29 years or a lump-sum payment.  The cash value selection, in full general, is the amount of money required to be in the jackpot prize pool, on the twenty-four hours of the drawing, to fund the estimated jackpot annuity prize.  The advertised jackpot annuity and cash value are estimates until ticket sales are final, and for the annuity, until the Multi-Country Lottery Clan takes bids on the buy of the securities.

Why is at that place a difference between the cash payouts in the Powerball and Mega Millions games?

A fixed pct of every Mega Millions and Powerball ticket sold goes into its Greenbacks jackpot. The cash jackpot is all the money that the lottery has on hand from the sale of tickets in the game. If a player chooses the cash option, then the Lottery volition pay the entire greenbacks amount to the winner (less income tax withholding amounts required past federal and state laws).

The Lottery as well offers an ANNUITY jackpot option that can help reduce taxes and offers the winner a 100% guaranteed income stream over time. The two games offering different types of annual income streams, giving the players more than options. If a winner elects the annuity selection, then the Lottery will invest the unabridged cash amount before taxes are deducted. The departure between the Greenbacks jackpot and the ANNUITY jackpot is the involvement earnings that build over time. The Powerball annuity jackpot earns more interest for two reasons.

ane. The Powerball Annuity Jackpot invests more coin for a longer menses of time. The Powerball annuity is paid out in graduated amounts (ascent past 4% per twelvemonth to go along up with inflation) over 29 years (thirty payments). The annual payments grow larger to go along step with the winner's expected toll of living. The Mega Millions annuity​provides for an initial annual payment followed past 29 almanac payments.  Each payment is 5 percentage larger than the previous one. In both cases, the first payment is an firsthand cash payment.

2. The Powerball Annuity Jackpot is invested in a wider variety of securities than the Mega Millions Jackpot, allowing more than interest to be earned. All of the securities used to back up both games' jackpots offer pregnant levels of U.Southward. Governmental backing. Information technology is of import to empathize that the Lottery is invested in these securities; not the winner. The winner has a contract with the states to pay the annual prize payment, no thing what happens to the securities.

Since the 2 games' jackpots are invested differently, if the Cash jackpots are the aforementioned, the Powerball jackpot volition pay a larger ANNUITY over time than Mega Millions. If the ANNUITY value of the jackpots is the aforementioned, so Mega Millions' CASH jackpot will exist larger than Powerball's CASH jackpot. The CASH jackpot amounts nowadays the true nowadays-day values of the jackpots. A winner who wishes to take the CASH jackpot should compare only the Cash jackpot amounts. The ANNUITY jackpot amounts volition be important for those winners who programme to select a long-term, fully guaranteed income stream.

Our Scratch tickets are produced and distributed in a completely random, double-blind system. First, prizes are scattered randomly throughout the entire run of the tickets.

We have no way of knowing where the winning tickets are shipped or where they volition show up. The reason it seems every bit though some locations take more winners is simply a matter of sales. If more tickets are purchased in the Denver Metro Expanse, it would follow that a commensurate number of winners would be located in the Denver Metro Area. Retailers who sell a lot of tickets will have a greater likelihood of getting a pack with a winner in it just because they sell  many more tickets and have to supervene upon them with new packs of tickets.
