FRESNO (KMJ) – Tonight’s Powerball Jackpot is the 10th-Largest in the Game’s History.
Almost $400 Million in Jackpot Money IS up for Grabs Between NOW and Friday.
The last time the Powerball jackpot was hit was in May when a single ticket purchased by a family in New Jersey matched all six numbers.
The last time a Californian won was back on January, when Mae and Marvin Acosta purchased a ticket in Chino Hills that matched all six numbers.
They shared the record $1.5 billion jackpot with winners in Tennessee and Florida.
They decided to take the $327 million lump sum.
If you win the Powerball jackpot, you’ll have the option of taking the estimated $361 million spread out over 30 years or taking the lump sum amount of an estimated $250.3 million (before federal taxes).
The retailer selling the winning ticket gets a cut, too.
