That amounts to $485.5m if the winner wants a lump sum
They just can’t give this money away. Monday night’s Powerball drawing will be for nearly $700 million if a grand prize winner finally emerges. State lottery officials have held 40 straight drawings without anyone hitting the right number combination. The last time anyone won the Powerball was June 5. The estimated jackpot of $685 million would be paid out to a single winner over the course of 29 years, if the newly minted millionaire wants to be patient.
