Vivi, are you sure you have the order correct?

Order does not matter in the major multi-state lotteries. You can't pick an order; each number can only show up once and you simply pick from the overall pool of numbers.

Order only matters in state lotteries, ones in which each number is drawn from a separate bin of numbers. I.E. you could have 2, 8, 4, 4, 2. Such a combo is impossible in the major lotteries.

Only one announced winner so far. Only CA had publicly announced results. They are always the first to report.

I expect about 50 $1million winners. Probably 3 jackpot winners.

This was rigged, RIGGED I say.
Think deflate gate, only with ping-pong balls filled with Carbon Dioxide.
The winning balls were heavier than the others, thus going down first.

So this is now known as powerballgate.

So one asshole in Cali takes the whole damn prize?

If I couldn't win with my own draws, and we couldn't win in the pool, then dammit, it should have sent to over $2 Billion! I want the moneys!

Whoever one should hopefully feel in the spirit of donation. That's a lot for one person (unless other winners have yet to be announced).

Man, I didn't get any of the numbers right. I could feel it in my bones that I was certainly going to win. Damn you bones, why do you deceive me so!!!

~$500 million after tax?

Stick it in a 30 year Treasury Bond at around 3%, gubment pays you $15 million/year until you ded.

According to the NY Times, it's better to choose the annuity if you're going to do that.

Second, there are big tax advantages to the annuity. The main one is that taking the annuity is basically like letting the government hold onto part of your prize for a while and invest it for you — and the government does not pay tax on investment income. Of course, once you get the annuity checks, you’ll have to pay income tax on them. But if you take the lump-sum cash prize, you’ll pay tax twice: on the prize when you win it, and on the income you get by investing it.
