The Powerball lottery jackpot for the drawing on Wednesday 27th April 2022 now stands at an estimated $454 million. The jackpot has been steadily growing over the last few months as there has been no jackpot winner. The last time the Powerball Jackpot was won, was back on the 14th of February 2022. We are only 2 and a half months from that drawing and already the jackpot has grown to nearly half a billion dollars.
The cash payout for the jackpot prize, if it is won on Wednesday, will be $271.9 million. After taxes, depending on which state you live in, that could mean a cool $188 million in your bank account. With the jackpot climbing so high, more and more people will start playing the Powerball lottery and the jackpot will continue to grow if not won. If no one wins, we can expect the jackpot to grown to be $1 billion within just a few weeks.
