You could win nearly $1 billion between the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots—how much you’d take home after taxes

The lottery jackpots for Powerball and Mega Millions have climbed to a combined total of nearly $1 billion — but the winners will end up taking home much less.

Powerball’s jackpot is worth $522 million and Mega Millions’ jackpot is $400 million ahead of late-evening draws on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.

However, the take-home winnings could be as little as a quarter of the listed jackpot prize, based on taxes and payout options.

If you’re lucky enough to win, here’s how much you’d actually receive.

For payouts, there are two options: You can get the full jackpot amount as an annuity paid out over 30 years, or you can receive roughly 52% of the jackpot as a lump sum that’s paid out right away.

For the $522 million Powerball jackpot, the lump sum payout is $269,600,000. For the Mega Millions $400 million jackpot, it’s $205,000,000.

While the lump sum is much less than the annuity option, most winners pick the upfront payout since they can immediately invest and grow those funds.

And most states charge an additional tax, too, ranging from 2.9% in North Dakota to 10.9% in New York, according to usamega.com.

There are eight states that don’t charge taxes on lottery winnings: California, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.

For that reason, these states offer the highest possible take-home winnings from the $522 million jackpot. Assuming a top tax income rate of 37%, winners in these states will take home $329,971,350 for the annuity payout. For the upfront…
