Powerball Jackpot This Weekend Growing

If you feel lucky for the last weekend of 2023, you might want to pick up a Powerball ticket. The jackpot for this Saturday’s drawing will be about $760 Million, the 6th largest prize in the game’s history. The drawing takes place Saturday at 10:59pm Eastern Standard Time, meaning Connecticut​ residents need to buy tickets by no later than 10PM. If you win and decide to be paid out in an annuity spread over 30 years, the IRS would claim 24 percent. If you take the cash option, you immediately get a lump sum of about $382.5 million.
