Powerball Jackpot Grows to $793 Million—Here’s What a Winner Could Take Home After Taxes

The Powerball jackpot has increased to $835 million after previous drawings failed to produce a grand prize winner. This follows a drawing on November 2 where the jackpot stood at $793 million. While the top prize remains unclaimed, smaller wins were recorded in recent drawings, including a $2 million prize in Cabarrus County and a $150,000 prize in Ohio from the October 31 drawing. Winners can choose between a lump sum payment or an annuity, with final take-home amounts varying by state tax laws.
