Drawing record
3,841 Powerball drawings and 1,722 Mega Millions drawings.
Measures
Powerball figures are settled — the final amount after ticket sales closed. Mega Millions figures are advertised — the estimate published before the draw. The two are not the same quantity.
Cash value
The jackpot is what the prize pool buys as an annuity at that day's rates, so it rises when rates rise. The cash value is the pool itself.

Estimates for entertainment purposes, not tax advice. Your actual outcome depends on your full tax situation. After-tax figures use today’s federal and state rates on every row, including drawings from decades ago, so they are not what that year’s winner kept. Someday does not sell lottery tickets and is not affiliated with Powerball, Mega Millions, or any state lottery.
