Powerball Jackpot Surges to Over $700 Million Amid No Recent Winners

TL;DR Summary
The Powerball jackpot has increased to $700 million after no winner was found in the latest draw, but the actual take-home amount for a winner will be significantly less due to federal and possibly state taxes, with options for a lump sum of around $240 million or annual payments totaling $700 million over 30 years. The odds of winning are 1 in 292.2 million, making it a highly unlikely but life-changing event.
