The Powerball jackpot has surged to a staggering $1.7 billion after yet another drawing produced no winner. Odds of winning sit at an astronomical 1 in 292 million, but that isnât stopping the frenzy. The last jackpot winner was all the way back on May 31, allowing the pot to snowball into near-record territory. While the current prize isnât the all-time high (a $2.04 billion jackpot in 2022 still holds the crown), itâs still enough to make history for whoever holds the winning ticket.Â
If someone strikes it lucky, theyâll have the choice between a lump sum of roughly $770 million before taxes or 29 annual payouts that total the full $1.7 billion. Itâs the kind of life-changing money that sparks endless imaginationâdream homes, sports teams, private islands, or never working another day in your life.Â
So, the question remains: how would you spend $1.7 billion?
