Wow $290 million is such a huge amount of prize. I wonder what the future winner will do to this prize. I should apply all the strategies I know to get this jackpot.

Lottery players seeking to check the winning numbers Saturday night are urged to use USA Mega

If anyone whose reading your post wins even a small part of the PB Jackpot Cupcake10- l doubt they would be asking where is the extra dollar going and why the increase.

THINK ABOUT THAT..

Anyone thinking about why Powerball jackpot soars so high each time... when the price of the ticket was increased by a $1.00 to decrease the odds. 11 draws and no one has won the jackpot... where is the extra dollar going and why the increase.

THINK ABOUT IT

I would like to win this jackpot with a $3 ticket from Circle K or $2 million. Which ever comes first and I do not mind either way as long as I am a winner on saturday been in a dry spell for wins lately. But that would make up for it in a big way. Good luck to all!-weshar75

whiteballz — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 20:27:39 GMT

yes there will be another 14% for federal income tax. Yes, you can lower your effective tax rate with tax deductions like giving money to charity but keep in mind tax deductions will not lower your tax burden dollar for dollar like tax credits.

I hope this jackpot continues to roll.

Comment #26

RJOh — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:05:29 GMT

Everyone who plays thinks it's the right time for them and no one else is more deserving of a win, that's the reason so many players feel down and rejected when the jackpots are won.

Comment #25

dpoly1 — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:18:13 GMT

But

You will own around 14% in additional Federal Income Taxes unless you mitigate that tax burden

Comment #24

schmuckatelly — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 17:43:06 GMT

Thats what we do. Currently 19 people in the pool, we do not each get $1 back, then all the money goes back into the pool to purchase additional tickets along with our normal tickets

noise-gate — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 17:33:21 GMT

These teaser jackpots get the adrenaline going. I look forward to playing this Saturday with the hopes of sharing the jackpot with whoever chooses the same numbers as myself.

Wishes..always.

Time to enact maximum pay-out laws, and hire more government workers in CA.

Comment #17

KY Floyd — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:50:22 GMT

It all averages out in the long run, but July has been a very good month for several California players who won the bigger prizes.

The July 13th drawing paid $2,623,314 to a single 5+0 winner.

A couple of drawings resulted in 5 and 6 winners who only got $5,405 and $5,250, but most of the drawings turned out very nicely for the 4+1 winners:

1 @ $53,211

2 @ $22,073

4 @ $10,452

1 @ $36,654

1 @ $28,353

1 @ $26,478

All told there were 30 4+1 winners in July, and the payout... [ More ]

There was no jackpot winner in the Wednesday night drawing of the multi-state Powerball game, causing the grand prize to increase to an estimated $290 million for Saturday's drawing.

Wednesday was the 11th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The current jackpot run started June 26 as a $40 million jackpot.

The estimated cash value for the new jackpot is $168.4 Million. After-tax cash and annuity prize amounts are reported state-by-state on the Jackpot Analysis... [ More ]
