Fourth-largest Powerball jackpot prize

Circling back, the $731.1 million jackpot won is the fourth-largest Powerball jackpot and also the sixth-largest ever in the U.S., according to a press release. Overall, this jackpot is the largest in Maryland’s history.

The lucky jackpot winner will make a choice when it comes time to claim the prize. The winner can choose to have the $731.1 million paid in 30 graduated payments spanning a period of 29 years or a lump-sum payment of $546.8 million.

However, taxes definitely put a dent in the eye-watering amount. Remember that there is federal withholding tax of 24% and Maryland state withholding tax of 8.95%.

$150K ticket sold in PA

Although not a big jackpot winner, there was a Powerball ticket worth $150,000 sold in Blair County for the previous drawing. The winning numbers for Jan. 20 were 40 – 53 – 60 – 68 -69, with a red Powerball of 22.

The winning ticket sold at Sheetz at 405 E. 25th Ave. in Altoona would have only been worth $50,000 for matching four white balls and the red Powerball. However, the $1 Power Play option was purchased, and the multiplier for the drawing was 3X. Thus, the winning ticket boosts the prize to $150,000.
