A record-breaking $785 million Powerball jackpot is up for grabs in Monday night’s drawing – the fourth largest prize in the game’s history, according to Powerball.
A lucky grand prize winner would have the choice between an annuitized prize worth an estimated $785 million, or a lump sum payment estimated at $367 million. Both are before taxes, according to Powerball.
The prize is still only surpassed by three previous jackpots over $1 billion, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.
